Birth Psychology (APPPAH)
The Association for Prenatal & Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH) helps benefit pregnant women and the overall general community by helping to expound on the field of birth psychology.

Babies can hear the music their parents listen to and kick, or parents can read a story and the baby will hear the story. We are finally understanding this as well as psychologists an...

Project Implicit is a group of assessments in which a person is given choices to compare from about a person’s race, sex, identity, religious or other possible biases.

Animal Hoarding: An In-Depth Look At The Phenomenon
Many times animals need good homes. They are often brought into a home where a person wants to take good care of them, feed them, water them and make sure their every need is taken care of. However; there are certain people whose idea of taking care of animals, while meaning to be a good provider of animal security, ends up being one of animal destruction and unneeded cruelty. These unfortunate few do not mean to harm these animals, and actually mean to help the pets they so lovingly bring into their homes–matter of fact, they normally know them by their names or by the dates the brought them in or where they f...

Thankfully, there are places that know about this kind of situation and are willing to help. The I...
