Cognitive Behavioral Intervention For Children With Disruptive Behavior Disorders In Residential Treatment, Kathryn Joanne Morin Silva
Theses Digitization Project
Increasing numbers of children being referred for mental health services are exhibiting problematic behaviors that can be subsumed under the category of Disruptive Behavior Disorders.

Dissociative Identity Disorder: Integration Versus Non-Integration, Kris Jane Strande
Theses Digitization Project
For the mental health professional, the client with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) can be exciting, exhausting and frustrating. Formal education offers little help in treatment and diagnosis of this disorder. This paper will explore the most utilized treatment goals available to the professional and the client. Although most "experts" in the field of Dissociative Disorders subscribe to the treatment goal of integration, this study challenges that idea. As the results of the study indicate, integration was not the most utilized goal of treatment among the participants of this study.
