Essays on APD

Raman spectroscopy is dependent on scattering of light. When light interacts with matter, energy exchange can take place through absorption, simulated emission, Raman scattering or spontaneous emission. In Raman scattering, the emitted photons have less energy and lower frequency in comparison with the absorbed photons. Some energy of the emitted photons is transferred to the molecules. Raman spectroscopy is a method which collects the chemical fingerprints associated with molecules. Every molecule has different levels of vibrational energy and the emitted photons experience shift in their wavelengths. The wavelength shifts are collected,examined and analyzed for sample identification. Raman spectroscopy ...

Avoidant personality disorder (APD) is a long standing maladaptive behavior that is characterized by certain key behavioral characters. Individuals with APD have severe inferiority complex, feel extremely shy and have a constant feeling of inadequacy in a social situation. They have a constant fear of facing rejection and are hypersensitive to embarrassment. The two core feature of this disorder is negative emotions and detachment. Like the pathology of most personality disorders, certain inner experiences direct the outward behavior of patients with APD. Certain personality traits, helps people to adapt to changes in the environment. However, certain aspect of a ...

Disruptive Behavior Disorders as Predictors of Adult Criminality

Disruptive behavior disorders are characterized by high rates of defiant, hostile, and non-compliant behaviors, which usually include hyperactivity and aggressiveness (Fonagy, Target, Cottrell, Phillips & Kurtz, 2005). According to DSM-IV, these behaviors can be categorized under the following headings: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD), and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) (Fonagy et al., 2005). Conduct disturbance covers a broad range of behaviors that manifest in somewhat different ways at various ages of the same child across various settings. The symptoms of disturbances of conduct are often subjective as they can range from merely annoying behaviors such as temper tantrums, whining, ...
