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.

Dean Corll: The Candy Man
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Pasadena, Texas resident Dean Corll was the last person anyone would expect to be a serial killer, especially when it came to children. The Texan, who was born on Christmas Eve 1939, was considered a most likable guy with a particular penchant toward making candy and planning parties for the neighborhood kids. Without any indication of any kind, the parents of these children were setting them up for inevitable disaster, inasmuch as the parties were staged as a way for Corll to hand-pick the next young boy he would eventually sodomize, murder and dismember in his private torture chamber. 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. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
