- 3 Devastating Effects Of Domestic Violence
By: D. A. Campbell | - It is almost hard to fully comprehend effects of domestic violence can have on anyone and anything that crosses its path. The destructive force as well as the corrosiveness can impact a family community or even entire counties.

Here in the US there have been quite a number of encouraging signs. For i ...

By: Michael Logan | - As I get closer to the designation of elderly, or as my 10 year old son says, "the ooooooollllllldddddd man", I am curious about what the counseling field has to say about working with Boomers and elderly counseling.
All the folks I hang around with are very vital and engaged in life, and I am 61. Many of us have been hit hard by the current recession, and some are worried about finances, but I am not seeing anyone give up.
All of us have had to deal with losses and tr ...

- The Fallout Of The Foreclosure Crisis

- Domestic Violence: Are Victims Borderlines Or Do Borderlines Think They Are Victims?
By: Dr Jeanne King PhD | - Even though "borderlines" think they are abuse victims, this doesn't make domestic violence victims "borderlines."
