Current Uses Of Electro-Convulsive Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Mention the term electro-convulsive therapy and it is bound to elicit a response of fear and skepticism. This particular type of psychotherapy, introduced in 1938 by Cerletti, gained a dubious reputation almost from the moment it was created due to the procedure's invasiveness and mind-altering influence. That electric shock applied to the brain in order to bring about convulsive seizures was meant to address such psychological illnesses as acute mania, bipolar, chronic endogenous depression and certain types of schizophrenia was severely questioned on both an ethical and physical level, ultimately causing its disappearance until the 1970s. The writer discusses how electro-convulsive therapy is used today. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Definitions of Deviance
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of our societal construct of deviance. Under the medical model deviance is nothing more than a pathology, a view many psychiatrists and sociologists find disquieting. These same professionals prefer to look at deviance form a conflict and labeling standpoint. They view it as not simply a disease but something that can also be caused by society itself in the way we tend to categorize those that are outside the norm. The author reviews each of these approaches and concludes that despite the many criticisms of the medical model of deviance, there are many advantages to approaching deviance as a pathology.
