Is sex addiction an excuse for cheating

This is a radio debate about whether people are just labelling things as mental illnesses as a means of taking away moral responsiblity... e.g. is ADHD just an excuse for bad behaviour, sex addiction just an excuse for cheating etc.

Stress Powerpoint

Hi,

Personality Essay

Hi

A number of you are struggling with the personality essay. It is tricky and I suggest you use the following for AO1 - hardiness, Type A, Type B and also Locus of Control (which you can take from coping evidence).

For AO2 I suggest you analyse the evidence that supports each link, consider any gender issues in terms of bias and explanation.

Hope that helps. Please ensure that I get this essay ASAP!
