Undergraduate thesis exploring criticisms of patriarchy in women's captivity narratives by examining Mary Rowlandson's The Sovereignty and Goodness of God (1862) and Sarah Wakefield's Six Weeks in the Sioux Tepees: A Narrative of Indian Captivity (1862).

The author concludes that both narratives therefore assert that patriarchal societies did not necessarily produce justice for English or American women who were a part of these societies, or for the Dakota Indians who lived in close contact with a patriarchal society.

Undergraduate thesis studying anxiety and substance use disorders (SUD) by examining the prevalence of anxiety-SUD comorbidity in an outpatient psychology training clinic and assessing how it affects psychotherapy outcomes. Results revealed that anxiety and SUD is more highly comorbid compared to when anxiety is paired with another disorder and the presence of a comorbid SUD was associated with worse therapy outcomes at the beginning and end of therapy. However, the comorbid SUD did not affect the rate of recovery in patients. Both groups benefited equally from therapy.
