A* EPQ: Treating Monsters with Kindness

A full EPQ dissertation in which I received full marks (50/50). This EPQ meets all aspects of the AQA specification, guaranteeing top marks on the bulk of the EPQ (40%). The full title is "Treating Monsters with Kindness: Can we Treat Psychopathy?" and was written to perfectly link to the subjects of Psychology by addressing subjects studied in A-Level Psychology, including operant conditioning and CBT. The EPQ includes an introduction, three main areas (CBT, therapeutic communities and reward-based therapies), an extensive conclusion and a list of references in Harvard-style. It addresses several ways in which psychopaths can be treated and concludes that whilst the symptoms of psychopathy can be managed, the condition itself cannot be treated. The EPQ contains 8,790 words not including references, so is extremely comprehensive. With references, the document contains 10,005 words.
