"A 17-year-old male is getting ready to attend an out-of-state college in a few months. He reports spending massive amounts of energy disguising the fact he is gay. He currently attends a small, rural high school. He has never told any of his family or friends that he is gay due to fear of isolation and abandonment. He reports having limited homosexual experiences. He declares that he is tired of living a lie and being lonely. He proclaims that he is afraid to "come out" to family and friends but needs some encouragement to do so."

Abstract
Recent years have seen intense debate on the ethicality of human cloning and therapeutic cloning. While the former involves reproduction of a new human, a clone to the adult from whom the DNA was taken, therapeutic cloning has a very different goal. Having said that, therapeutic cloning, too, has been under the spotlight. This paper focuses on therapeutic cloning alone and explores the possible pros and cons of the procedure. It defines therapeutic cloning to assure that the discussion is viewed in the correct contextual framework.
From the Paper
"Therapeutic Cloning or Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer is a procedure, which involves removing the DNA from a cell taken from a human, inserting it into the DNA taken from a woman?s ovum and giving the resultant ovum an electrical shock to begin the formation of an embryo. The procedure results in a pre-embryo being formed in a small percentage of cases (Robinson)."

Abstract
This paper discusses therapeutic communication from the point of view of the writer's clinical experiences as a nurse. It discusses the concept of therapeutic communication and how important verbal and nonverbal communication is with patients. The paper presents a case study that the writer was involved in and discusses how therapeutic communication was successful or unsuccessful in this scenario.
Table of Contents:
Clinical Experience
The Concept of Therapeutic Communication
From the Paper
"Even when the nurse has experience with therapeutic communication, there can still be the problem of a breakdown in that communication. The nurse can have empathy, respect for the person, and use active listening skills, but the problem could still come about. The reason it happens is that the nurse also needs to do critical thinking. That kind of thinking means that that she is always assessing the patient and the situation (McNabb, 2006). Another point is that sometimes it can be very difficult to see things from the perspective of the patient. Bournes and Mitchell (2002, p. 59) state, "health is the way people go on and live what is important to them, moment to moment and day to day". Health for me is very different than it is for a person such as Mrs. A. The only way I can understand her experience is by empathy and through active listening."

Therapeutic Ultrasound, 2004.
An examination of the effectiveness of therapeutic ultrasound as a treatment for chronic inflammatory conditions.
2,369 words (approx. 9.5 pages), 16 sources, MLA, $ 72.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses therapeutic ultrasound, a physical modality used in the treatment of a plethora of medical and surgical conditions by many health care practitioners. Although widespread use of therapeutic ultrasound suggests efficacy, its specific physiological and therapeutic effects remain questionable. In particular, it examines how chronic inflammatory conditions are specific musculoskeletal conditions in which the acute inflammatory process is unable to restore the tissue to its original state. It looks at how, over the past few decades, chronic inflammatory conditions like tendinitis have increased dramatically, and the importance of evaluating the effectiveness of one of the most utilized modalities for the treatment of these conditions has grown.
From the Paper
"Absorption, reflection, refraction and acoustical streaming are primarily responsible for the ability of ultrasound to produce biophysical effects. (8) The biophysical effects of ultrasound are grouped into two classifications, thermal and nonthermal. Thermal effects of ultrasound are mainly a result of absorption and reflection. They include increased blood flow, increased tissue extensibility, increased pain threshold, increased macrophage activity, increased collagen deposition, and reduction of muscle spasm. Nonthermal effects of ultrasound are mainly a result of acoustical streaming. Acoustical streaming is defined as the unidirectional flow of tissue fluids. These effects include tissue regeneration, wound healing, reduction of edema, synthesis of protein and collagen, and changes in cell membrane permeability."

Abstract
In this paper, the advantages of therapeutic recreation for people with physical disabilities are analyzed. The paper discusses how recent legislation forbidding discrimination against those with disabilities has impacted this field. The legislation has stimulated recreational therapists, specialists and educators alike to take on a more active role in providing a wide range of physical and recreational activities for people who have physical disabilities. These activities typically work to help promote the quality of life among people who have disabilities and improve participation, interaction and understanding among their able bodied peers.
Outline:
Causes and Characteristics of Population - Physically Disabled
Importance of Recreation for Population
Role and Place of Recreation in Life
Overview of Legislation Affecting Disabled
Role and Use of Therapeutic Recreation
Specific Recreation Activities to Improve Functioning
Conclusions
From the Paper
"A person who has a physical disability may be defined in multiple ways. Henderson (1999) suggests that a disability can be defined "as a physical or mental impairment that restricts one or more aspects of a person's life" (22). This definition is supported by others who suggest that people who are disabled generally are limited with respect to their ability to participate in certain physical and recreation activities; this suggests a need to explore new ways for identifying how to help people who are disabled experience a full range of activities including physical and therapeutic recreational activities (Henderson, 2002; Austin & Crawford, 1996; Smith, Austin & Kennedy, 1996).

Concepts Relevant to the Therapeutic Relationship, 2008.
A discussion of the therapeutic relationship between psychiatric nurse and patient.
2,605 words (approx. 10.4 pages), 11 sources, APA, $ 78.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how the nurse-patient therapeutic relationship is the psychosocial bond that fosters and nurtures the healing of a patient. The paper asserts that the therapeutic relationship between a patient and his psychiatric nurse is a special bond between human beings that possesses several unique attributes, founded on a trust that is rooted deeply in the traditions of professional health care. It discusses compassion which, when practiced by mental health professionals, has the potential to facilitate healing as well as impede it. The paper concludes that, although more reliance on medications and behavioral modification techniques such as psychotherapy continue to be more and more of a factor in the treatment of mental illnesses, it is ultimately the attitude of the individual that determines the patient's progress towards healing.
Outline:
Introduction
Significance to Nurses
Significance to Patient and Family
Transference
Continuity of Care
Reflections
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The significance of the therapeutic relationship to the patient and family is that it provides them with a means to connect with the health care staff not only in terms of treatment of the patient, but also in terms of establishing a means by which patient and nurse can relate on even terms. Rapport with the patient's family further establishes a link with the patient outside the hospital. This is beneficial especially in situations where patients are far from easy access to health institutions where primary care for their condition is being given. (Forchuk, Reynolds, Sharkey, Martin & Jensen, 2007)"

The Therapeutic Process: A Case Study, 2006.
This paper uses a case study to look at how to best find a therapeutic model that will most benefit the client.
2,925 words (approx. 11.7 pages), 8 sources, $ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides an overview of multiple forms of therapeutic models and a case study, and attempts to find an appropriate therapeutic model that best suits the needs of the client. The person-centred approach to therapy is used as a means of framing the discussion. The case study is a woman who has recently been abandoned by her husband and with whom the therapist feels a close personal association.
From the Paper
"The therapeutic process is extremely evocative from an emotional perspective, as well as from the perspective of the degree of personal investment that the client has to dedicate towards introspection and the assessment of self-motivation. As a result, the therapist also needs to have a personal engagement with the client; the therapist's own personality and experiences are blended into the session, causing one author to comment that "one could quite rightly argue that there are as many forms of therapeutic practice as there are therapists."

Abstract
A paper which presents a detailed examination of history. Using Anne Moody?s book, "The Coming of Age in Mississippi" where one can get a clear picture of what civil rights meant to many African-Americans, the writer of this paper discusses many aspects of coming of age and historical significance. The paper also discusses the themes of anger and black poverty in the book.
From the Paper
"Moody?s legacy was relevant in the 21st century because without it the changes may never have taken place. The changes were slow in coming and without the anger and approaches that Moody took and encouraged others to follow we might still be in the ages before the civil rights movements and that would be a tragedy not only to the black population but to the entire nation for the contributions the world would be missing for keeping the blacks down and oppressed."

Therapeutic Cloning and Biomedical Ethics, 2007.
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of therapeutic cloning in terms of biomedical ethics.

Abstract
This paper examines the controversy surrounding therapeutic cloning in light of biomedical ethics. The author argues in favor of therapeutic cloning citing its medical benefits. The opposing viewpoint is also presented. The author concludes, however, that more people need to understand the nuances of cloning, so that it will become more acceptable in the future.
From the Paper
"Cloning is basically the recreation of life in the form of the donor parent. In other words, when you clone a sheep, a pig, or a human, it is an identical twin of the donor. Cloning immediately frightens some people and excites others. It frightens people because it carries the implication that a scientist in a lab somewhere could create human life for his own purposes. That is frightening and ethically challenging. Many religious groups (and others) oppose cloning for the ethical reason that no one should be able to create life but God."

Therapeutic Treatment of Children in Foster Care, 2002.
This paper discusses alternative and traditional therapeutic methods and interventions being used to treat children in foster care who often have emotional difficulties that must be dealt with by their caregivers.
6,130 words (approx. 24.5 pages), 30 sources, APA, $ 144.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that one of the most traditional intervention approaches for foster care children is placing them in a special education class because many children who come into foster care have behavioral, physical and emotional problems that do not allow them to function normally in a standard classroom setting. The author states that as time goes on and the problems of foster care children do not show any great improvement, alternative ideas begin to make their way to the forefront of thinking for those who are involved with foster care children. The paper relates that one of these alternative ideas is to expand the primary care and community-based care for these children, so that they can receive proper healthcare when and where they need it instead of only receiving Medicaid. Another alternative treatment is a mentoring program.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Mentors, however, are people in the community that can work specifically with these children on a one-on-one basis. They are often people who have been through hardships in their own childhood. Some of them come from abusive homes, some of them come from the foster care system, and others come from various other hardships and tragedies that they endured as children and young adults. The reason that this is so important for foster children is that these mentors have experiences and problems that they have made it through, and many of these experiences and difficulties are similar to what foster children either will go through or are going through right now. Because of the fact that many of these people have been through the difficulties that these foster children are now facing, they are able to give advice and help in a way that many others would not be able to. They have "been there," and they know what many of the pains that a foster child goes through feel like. This makes them uniquely qualified to give advice and to help these foster children."

Coming of Age and Women, 2002.
Explores the theme of coming of age and becoming a woman in three short stories.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The process of "becoming" a woman is one that Simon de Beauvoir expressed in her famous quote "One is not born a woman; rather, one becomes a woman." This phrase indicates that a woman is not born but rather is someone that develops into herself over time. Literature expresses this process in the theme of coming of age, where characters undergo a transformation from childhood to womanhood through experiencing various ordeals. This paper explores the theme of coming of age in three short stories: The stories that shall be examined are "No Name Woman" by Maxine Hong Kingston, "She Wasn't Soft" by T. Coraghessan Boyle, and Jamaica Kincaid's "Girl".

The Second Coming of Christ, 2002.
This paper debates the claim that Christ's second coming is imminent.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer explains his/her claim that we are living in the ?end times?, referring to an informational book entitled ?Are We Living in the End Times?. The four ?pivotal events of history? are listed and explained. The two signs of the end times (increased technology and travel), mentioned in the biblical Book of Daniel, are discussed and some important information on Jesus? second coming from the book of Matthew, is mentioned. This information is related to recent historical and current events regarding the Jewish Nation, Israel and its Arab neighbors.
The paper concludes with a description of the physical events that will occur with the second coming and with the importance of faith in the Christian religion.
From the Paper
"Christianity is based upon the first coming of Christ ? the birth of Jesus, and His life on earth. That life ended rather abruptly, though His death was prophesized and predicted in the Old Testament, long before Jesus was even born. Along those same lines, Jesus talked of His return ? He spoke of the fact that he would once again return to earth, and of the things that would let His followers know as the time for His return drew near. Is that time now? Many preachers, priests, and Christians believe that we are living in the ?end times? as they are called, as do I. I hope to explain why, and provide evidence supporting my claim."
