What expectations should I have for this person? Will they ever be able to live a pretty normal life and function like everyone else? Like, driving, balancing checkbooks, paying bills, shopping, etc?

My step daughter is emotionally messed up. She has been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and anti social disorder. She is 17. Her mother has allowed her stepfather to molest and rape her. He has been put away for this. But she continues to want to see her mother and her father will not let her go. She is with us now and is very hard to handle. I have so much compassion for her and really love her like my own. I just do not know how to help her. She continues to act out sexually. Let me also say she has been found to be mildly retarded. She does not understand her mother, (now doing drugs) does not want any contact with her. The last time she seen her mother, she was sexually assaulted by her mother's "friend" so her mother could get more drugs. She is getting treatment but nothing seems to be helping. I try to show her we love her but she seems out of reach to us. What can I do to help her?

Hey everyone, can anyone share their experiences of discovering what it was you wanted to do with your life? How did you find out? How long did it take you to find out? Was it by chance, or did you find out by trying different experiences? How old were you? For the past year or so, Ive been trying to understand why I cannot find contentment in every aspect of my life and it frustrating the hell outta me! im nearly 29, good job, nice car etc etc, and whilst most of my peers are settling down, I crave a new challenge. Im considering a new career, but nothings grabbing me at the mo. Its so frustrating not knowing what to do!!! Any suggestions?

I am a social work student doing a research project on assertiveness. Does anyone know about a free assertiveness inventory that I can use. I am having a hard time getting permission from some authors. For those of you in the mental health profession, I am in desperate need of any advice on finding an assertiveness inventory.

...etc, but they do and get hurt? What does it mean if they could have been involved in a bad accident, unless you 'warned them'.

I've had numerous "hunches", and I hate them. I don't want them and I prefer to live my life without them.

I know peole either think "OH YEAH!!!" or "yeah right" about these things...I wisht they didnt.

I know... I should use a dicitonary. But I get two meanings:

1. Someone who is genderless.
2. Someone with no sexual desires.

But which one is it? Can you be genderless and have sexual desires? Can you lack sexual desires but have a gender? I don't understand why the word should mean both! ?

When you call a business and get caught in the invariable loop? And when you finally get to speak to a real live person either their accent is to strong to understand them or they are in a big warehouse full of other people talking on the phone and it is hard to understand them because of this. I just got off of the phone with the phone company because I had a question about a charge on my bill and I was caught in that hateful loop and then put on hold to talk to a real person, 20 minutes from the time I placed the call until I talked to a real person.

I had this dream where a greyish black cat was trying to get into my house under the screen door, it was moving it's paw underneath at first, then managed to get it's head under. my mom walked in the room and saw it, . i grabbed a matchete and tried to kill the cat, then i got down on the floor with it and tried to push it's head out, it's paw reached out to me and i pushed it's head again. then i played with it, i got up again grabbed my machete and tried to stab it but it managed to squeeze into the house and ran under a chair, i lifted up the chair (recliner type) and stabbed underneath, it moved a bit then ran again i dunno where i woke up.

what does it mean?

I owned a cat once i am not really a cat person and i didnt really want to kill the cat but in the dream i wanted to stab it to death.

Kohlberg described 6 stages in moral development:

Level 1 (Pre-Conventional)
1. Obedience & punishment orientation (Do it or suffer)
2. Self-interest orientation (What's in it for me?)

Level 2 (Conventional)
3. Interpersonal accord & conformity (The good boy/good girl attitude)
4. Authority and social-order maintaining orientation (Law and order morality)

Level 3 (Post-Conventional)
5. Social contract orientation (Greatest good for the greatest number)
6. Universal ethical principles (Principled conscience)

When you consider the moral teachings of your particular faith, doctrine, or discipline, how do their teachings fit into the particular stages of moral development described by Dr. Kohlberg?
