Midterms.....uuuuuuuuuggggg

Short post:
Since when did midterms span several weeks?
And, most of them have a "Part 1" and a "Part 2". sick.
Example:

Law and Ethics -
Part 1: in class midterm - 10 essay questions
Part 2: presentation on an ethical dilemma

Psychoanalytic Theory and Therapy:
Part 1: Take home midterm - 10 pages (bs)
Part 2: Take home midterm - a million pages (more bs)

Then, I have a 20 page paper due tomorrow, a psychological report due ASAP and 3 more clients I have set appointments with. Feel my pain?

The first question of Midterm A:

1. There are a number of critical concepts that provide a foundation for the Cyclical Maladaptive Pattern as defined by Binder and Lubin’s presentation (in class distribution for week 5). Identify and briefly define in your own words, the most relevant concepts related to acts of self, expectations of other, and responses of other found in at least three of the following readings for each of the three categories: Binder, Gabbard, Luborsky, Malan, McWilliams, Teyber, and Miller. For example, you might choose Binder, Gabbard and Luborsky to apply to acts of self; Malan, McWilliams, Miller to expectations of other, and three other readings to apply to responses of others. (Just suggestions) Make sure you include concepts related to intrapsychic conflict, transference, self fulfilling prophecies, relational themes.

Cheat? lol - you tell me how, and I will.
