2. Fourteen-year-old Denise, an only child, and her mother, Doris, always had a great relationship--until recently. Now it seems that they are constantly arguing. Doris is trying to understand what is going on with her daughter. How can she tell if Denise's behavior is normal for a 14-year-old?

3. The local school board wants to try to prevent violent and tragic incidents like those in Littleton, Colorado and Springfield, Oregon. It has asked its principals and teachers to study an APA publication that identifies warning signs of violence and suggests interventions. What will they learn from it and how can they try and prevent similar situations in their own school district if possible?
