Cancer is still seen by many as an incurable disease that slowly takes over healthy human tissue, and ultimately causes death. 2Through advances in medical science, different physical procedures have been developed to treat cancer – for example, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.

Behaviours that can be observed include covert behaviours, like thoughts and emotions, and behaviourism can be used to analyse these and then modify them.

As a conceptual framework, Yoshikawa, Aber and Beardslee (2012), tackle four aspects of poverty, the family and child as the main subjects or selection factors, the multidimensional nature of poverty, the mechanisms through which poverty effects children on an individual, relational and institutional

high OT levels are observed in maltreated female children. While this may be evidence of neurological dysregulation with potentially negative future consequences, it is also possible that it instead represents phenotypic plasticity with respect to human behavior that may be adaptive. If true, OT in this context may be viewed as the proximate mechanism through which social motivation takes place, with intense family conflict in the form of maltreatment priming females for early departure from the kin
