So these are the essays that have come up in the past papers. Thus I think its more likely that for P1 you will get

1) strategies for memory improvement
2) Day Care
3) types of attachment
4) cultural variations in attachment

for P2 I would say more likely  is

1) cogntive approach/treatments
2) psychological stress management strategies
3)Conformity
4) social change
5) independent behaviour
6) workplace stress
7) personality stress


Obviously you could get ANY essay, but I would be particularly sure you are confortable with these. Remember for Ao2 - state, explain, elaborate teh point e.g. The problem is that we can't determine cause and effect - this is because it could be that schizophrenia increases dopamine or it could be dopamine effects schizophrenia - the problem here is that we can't ethicially induce schizophrenia and thus have to rely on a correlation.
