Mallory is an 18-year-old grade-12 student at Thornhill Secondary School. She is in her fifth year of high school. She is currently taking 2 subjects, English and art. She lives with her parents and 12-year-old brother. She was brought to The Emergency Room by her mother after expressing suicidal ideation. Mallory has had contact with various members of our department. She had a brief admission to 7-North approximately a year ago. She was first assessed in CAMHOP by Dr. Propst when she was 12 years old. She has been seen in CAMHOP by both Dr. Propst and by Mr. Larry Schein. She has been treated with medication and individual as well as family therapy. She has also received group therapy through her CAMHOP. Mallory was seen in our Emergency Department by me approximately 6 months ago as well. She is in the process of transitioning from Children's Mental Health Services to Adult Mental Health Services and has an appointment to see Dr. Joan Tucker in February 2014.
Previously, Mallory took psychotropic medication, specifically various antidepressants. Her most recent antidepressant was Effexor, but she discontinued that in the spring of 2013, saying that she was experiencing side effects including nausea and dizziness. She did not feel that medication was particularly helpful to her either. She last saw Mr. Schein approximately 2 weeks ago. She saw Dr. Propst approximately 2 months ago. She finished group psychotherapy in CAMHOP approximately 2 weeks ago. Mallory has experienced suicidal ideation on and off in the past. The suicidal ideation is passive rather than active in nature. She has never made a suicide attempt. A couple of days before coming to the Emergency Room she began to experience thoughts of self-harm once again. Sh...

... reasonably well with peers and staff. Her manner was found to be consistent with that of someone younger than age 18. She requested discharge and said that she wanted to get back to school so that she was not in danger of losing her credits.
IMPRESSION AND PLAN:
Mallory presents as an adolescent with a diagnosis of trichotillomania as well as learning disorder, parent-child relational problem and Cluster B traits. She is on no medication at this time and I do not recommend the use of an antidepressant. I have explained to both Mallory and her mother that she is a reasonably healthy person with some limited coping skills, but that she does not require a prolonged admission to hospital as this may serve reinforce the idea of a sick role. Mallory can be discharged from 7-North. Followup will be with CAMHOP for the time being and with Dr. Tucker as of February 2014.
by fossilized rocks and the skulls of apelike men. The poet laureate of the age, Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the voice of the Victorian people, expresses his horror and bewilderment at the implications of these scientific discoveries in "In Memoriam A. H.

In the face of evolution, geology, and natural selection, ... ... middle of paper ... ...eration
As if molded directly from the depths of nightmares, both fascinating and terrifying. Serial killers hide behind bland and normal existences. They are often able to escape being caught for years, decades and sometimes an eternity. These are America’s Serial Killers (America’s Serial Killers). “Even when some of them do get caught, we may not recognize what they are because they don’t [sic] match the distorted image we have of serial killers” (Brown). What is that distorted image? That killers live
Murder Castle “I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing. I was born with the evil one standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered into the world, and he has been with me since.” (qdt. in Roland 12) Mudgett, better known as H.H. Holmes, said this during a confession in 1896. Holmes is diligently studied and sometimes admired because, not only was he America’s first major serial killer, the
Holmes was first charged with insurance fraud, and then the murder of Benjamin Pitezel (H.H. Holmes Biography, 2015). He was never charged with the deaths of any of his victims in Chicago due to the inability to positively identify any victims (H.H. Holmes, 2004). Holmes gave numerous stories to police about what happened in “The Murder Castle”, and admitted to at least 27 murders, but again, the exact number is not known. Holmes acted as his own lawyer in the case of murder and insurance fraud against
more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing – I was born with the Evil One standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered in the world, and he has been with me since” (Troy, Taylor). This statement was a quoted confession from Dr. H. H. Holmes himself in 1896. Holmes was the first major serial killer in America, even though he came after many others in his time. Thomas Neil Cream, the Austin Axe Murderer, the Bloody Benders, and Jack the Ripper came before him. His name was originally
One of the first men to single handedly terrorize the nation was Herman Webster Mudgett, more commonly known as H.H. Holmes. As a rather successful businessman with a degree in medicine, few would suspect the horrible secrets he kept locked away in the hotel he had built as his own personal torture chamber. By the time he was arrested, Mudgett had already taken an upwards of one hundred lives in a way that would shock the world. Born on May 16, 1861 in Gilmanton, New Hampshire to devout Methodist
The Hotel of Horrors There was a man with a name of Herman Webster Mudgett, but most people know him by the name of H.H. Holmes(“H.H. Holmes”, 2017:Grey, 2016: Upton, 2014). I had first heard about this weird part of America’s history through one of my favorite television shows, Supernatural. He is known to be one of the most cruel serial killers in the United States, and no one really know the exact amount of people he has killed. But how did he kill so many people without getting caught sooner
It is a divided issue whether D. H. Lawrence is to be considered a friend or a foe to the feminist movement. On one hand, he advocates an egalitarian man-woman relationship, on the other, his notion of equality seems rather subject to qualification. His reference to the ideal monogamous partnership as "phallic marriage" (Spilka 7) is certainly a cue that must be taken up. Why is marriage "phallic" unless the phallus is privileged in the expression of sexuality? (de Beauvoir 205) The idealisation
activity I have ever been involved in is 4-H. I have been a member of the Cheerful Champs 4-H club for almost ten years.

According to the USCIS the H-1B visa was created to employ ‘foreign workers in specialty occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise in specialized fields’. The visa is valid for three years from the date issued and may be renewed for another three years. Visas may be applied for during a short period of time at the beginning of each fiscal year in October. The H-1B is considered a ‘non-immigrant’ visa but it does have dual intent. This means a holder of the H-1B can have current legal

John H. Johnson was born January 19, 1918 in rural Arkansas City, Arkansas. His parents were Leroy Johnson and Gertrude Jenkins Johnson. His father was killed in a sawmill accident when little John was eight years old. He attended the community's overcrowded, segregated elementary school. In the early 1930s, there was no public high school for African-Americans in Arkansas. His mother heard of better opportunities for African-Americans in Chicago and saved her meager earnings as a washerwoman and
“Piano” by D. H. Lawrence The poem Piano, by D. H. Lawrence describes his memories of childhood. Hearing a woman singing takes him to the time when his mother played piano on Sunday evenings. In the present, this woman is singing and playing the piano with great passion. However, the passionate music is not affecting him, because he can only think about his childhood rather than the beauty of the music that exists in his actual space. “A woman is singing” softly to the speaker “in the dusk
The 4-H Club is an international program that offers children more understanding of the world and nature around them by building academic competence, personal confidence, and a lifetime based on successful experiences, as shown by research and personal anecdotes. Using the philosophy of “Learning by Doing”, the 4-H Program is based on a “do, reflect, apply” method, because young people thrive academically when they are actively involved in the learning process. Researchers observed that young people
