The Mind of Adolf Hitler
The Mind of Adolf Hitler: The Secret Wartime Report , published in 1972 by Basic Books , is based on, and contains as its core, a World War II report by psychoanalyst Walter C. Langer which probed the psychology of Adolf Hitler from the available information. The report was prepared for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and submitted in late 1943 or early 1944; [ 1 ] it is officially entitled "A Psychologial Profile of Adolph Hitler: His Life and Legend". The report is one of two psychoanalytic reports prepared for the OSS during the war in an attempt to assess Hitler's personality; the other psychoanalytic report is " Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler ". The book contains not only Langer's report, but also a foreword by his brother, the historian William L. Langer , an introduction by Langer himself and an afterword by the psychoanalytic historian Robert G.L.

Electroconvulsive therapy ( ECT ), formerly known as electroshock , is a psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in anesthetized patients for therapeutic effect. Its mode of action is unknown. [ 1 ] Today, ECT is most often recommended for use as a treatment for severe depression that has not responded to other treatment, and is also used in the treatment of mania and catatonia . [ 2 ] It was first introduced in 1938 by Italian neuropsychiatrists Ugo Cerletti and Lucio Bini , and gained widespread use as a form of treatment in the 1940s and 1950s. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Electroconvulsive therapy can differ in its application in three ways: electrode placement, frequency of treatments, and the electrical waveform of the stimulus. These three forms of application have significant differences in both adverse side effects and positive outcomes. After treatment, drug therapy is usually continued, and some patients receive continuation/maintenance ECT.

Sexual orientation is an enduring personal quality that inclines people to feel romantic or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of the opposite sex or gender , the same sex or gender, or to both sexes or more than one gender. These attractions are generally subsumed under heterosexuality , homosexuality , and bisexuality , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] while asexuality (the lack of romantic or sexual attraction to others) is sometimes identified as the fourth category. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] These categories are aspects of the more nuanced nature of sexual identity. [ 1 ] For example, people may use other labels, such as pansexual or polysexual , [ 7 ] or none at all. [ 1 ] According to the American Psychological Association , sexual orientation "also refers to a person's sense of identity based on those attractions, related behaviors, and membership in a community of others who share those attractions". [ 1 ] [ 8 ]

Getting Women to Smoke for Freedom When it comes to crass advertising methods, you can't leave the tobacco industry out of the conversation for long. Their current ad campaigns are somewhat less than convincing. Up until a certain point, smoking was generally seen as a man's habit. While smoking for men was seen as masculine and cool, women who smoked cigarettes were seen as immoral -- it was acceptable only for prostitutes and women in other lowly (mostly female) careers. In fact, women were even jailed for smoking in front of children and in public in the early 1900s.

Some consider electroconvulsive therapy one of the best treatments for treating severe depression — but it's not without side effects, such as short-term memory loss. Editor’s Note: On January 28, 2011, an FDA panel recommended that electroconvulsive therapy devices undergo rigorous testing and should remain classified in the “high-risk” category. Electroshock therapy, also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), has a negative reputation fostered by media portrayals, like in the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." But you might be surprised to learn that electroshock therapy is considered one of the best treatments for depression.

Women smoking cigarettes - What makes women smoke?
What makes women smoke? There is no one reason perhaps she get mental disorders due to her extra emotional feelings, perhaps her husband, brother or father beats her daily for nothing except for pressurizing her to command them, perhaps she wants to live her own life but she was forced to live a life of terror and misery, perhaps she likes someone very handsome and charming but can not get through it or perhaps her sexual desires are killing her but she is restricted to get out them on any of the guy she likes. If you are a girl, you have to be shy, you have to be delicate, and you have to be obedient of God. All these stresses with women sex desires can lead her to the drugs, smoking and alcohol addiction. Some women do smoking to control their sex desires. For the time being, they get satisfaction by inhaling the smoke of the cigarette but afterwards they are in the same condition again and they do not know that how much harm they are doing just to control their sexual desires.
