Book Insanity Defense

Download or read book Insanity Defense written by Jane Harman and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insider's account of America's ineffectual approach to some of the hardest defense and intelligence issues in the three decades since the Cold War ended. Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over again but expecting a different result. As a nation, America has cycled through the same defense and intelligence issues since the end of the Cold War. In Insanity Defense, Congresswoman Jane Harman chronicles how four administrations have failed to confront some of the toughest national security policy issues and suggests achievable fixes that can move us toward a safer future. The reasons for these inadequacies are varied and complex, in some cases going back generations. American leaders didn’t realize soon enough that the institutions and habits formed during the Cold War were no longer effective in an increasingly multi-power world transformed by digital technology and riven by ethno-sectarian conflict. Nations freed from the fear of the Soviets no longer deferred to America as before. Yet the United States settled into a comfortable, at times arrogant, position as the lone superpower. At the same time our governing institutions, which had stayed resilient, however imperfectly, through multiple crises, began their own unraveling. Congresswoman Harman was there—as witness, legislator, exhorter, enabler, dissident and, eventually, outside advisor and commentator. Insanity Defense is an insider’s account of decades of American national security—of its failures and omissions—and a roadmap to making significant progress on solving these perennially difficult issues.

Book A First Rate Madness

Download or read book A First Rate Madness written by Nassir Ghaemi and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-06-26 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller “A glistening psychological history, faceted largely by the biographies of eight famous leaders . . .” —The Boston Globe “A provocative thesis . . . Ghaemi’s book deserves high marks for original thinking.” —The Washington Post “Provocative, fascinating.” —Salon.com Historians have long puzzled over the apparent mental instability of great and terrible leaders alike: Napoleon, Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, and others. In A First-Rate Madness, Nassir Ghaemi, director of the Mood Disorders Program at Tufts Medical Center, offers a myth-shattering exploration of the powerful connections between mental illness and leadership and sets forth a controversial, compelling thesis: The very qualities that mark those with mood disorders also make for the best leaders in times of crisis. From the importance of Lincoln's "depressive realism" to the lackluster leadership of exceedingly sane men as Neville Chamberlain, A First-Rate Madness overturns many of our most cherished perceptions about greatness and the mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... Stark has reported cases of insanity which so far corresponded with the physiologic experiment, that a thin, watery flow of saliva was simultaneous with exacerbations of a neuralgia of the fifth nerve; a thick saliva accompanied states of sexual irritation; so that the quality of the saliva is an indication, in some cases, of the idiopathic or sympathetic significance of the disease-picture. Investigations by Owsjannikow, Lf-pine, Bacchi, and Bochefontaine, according to which irritation of certain parts of the cortex of the cerebral hemisphere increased the secretion of saliva, require still further confirmation. However, they explain the frequency of an increased flow of saliva in certain affections of the forebrain (psychoses). Menstruation.--Disturbances of this function are frequent in insanity. They are the expression of constitutional (anemia) or local disturbances of nutrition, or of disturbances of vasomotor innervation, that may stand in genetic relation with the causal moment of the psychosis or the fundamental pathologic process in the brain. While in the secondary stages of insanity, aside from local or general diseases, disturbances of menstruation are regularly wanting, anomalies of this kind are very frequent in the primary stages of insanity. As a rule, in such cases, there is a temporary or lasting amenorrhea; and, in case it be lasting, the return of the menses usually takes place only with restoration of physical health. Sometimes amenorrhea continues a long time after the establishment of convalescence. In some few cases where sudden suppression of the menses has coincided with the outbreak of a psychosis the return of the menses may be devoid of critical significance; for both may be the effects of the same cause, ..

Book Textbook of Insanity

Download or read book Textbook of Insanity written by R. Von Krafft-Ebing and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textbook of Insanity: Based on Clinical Observations; For Practitioners and Students of Medicine The present edition follows the tradition of preceding editions, in that the author's text-book is intended to be a useful guide in the difficult domain of psychiatric study and science, for the student as well as for the practitioner of medicine. For the attainment of this object, the important points that have been kept in view are: Clear, comprehensible terms; avoidance, as far as possible, of theories and hypotheses; emphasis of all that may be regarded as more or less certain in the science of psychiatry; and systematic arrangement of the scientific material. Owing to the peculiarity of this science and its state of incompleteness, text-books on psychiatry present more or less prominently subjective features dependent upon the personality of their authors. The present text-book is based upon thirty-three years of observation of the insane, and presents disease-pictures in the light of the author's personal experience. The general correspondence between the author's experience and that of other observers may be taken as a guarantee that in general he has been correct in his observation, and that, notwithstanding the confusing variety of manifestations in "diseases of the personality," there are certain fixed laws which permit the establishment empirically of distinct disease-pictures. The most careful account has been taken of the additions to psychiatric science since the last edition of this work. May the book in its new form again meet with success!

Download or read book Insane written by Alisa Roth and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent exposé of the mental health crisis in our courts, jails, and prisons America has made mental illness a crime. Jails in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago each house more people with mental illnesses than any hospital. As many as half of all people in America's jails and prisons have a psychiatric disorder. One in four fatal police shootings involves a person with such disorders. In this revelatory book, journalist Alisa Roth goes deep inside the criminal justice system to show how and why it has become a warehouse where inmates are denied proper treatment, abused, and punished in ways that make them sicker. Through intimate stories of people in the system and those trying to fix it, Roth reveals the hidden forces behind this crisis and suggests how a fairer and more humane approach might look. Insane is a galvanizing wake-up call for criminal justice reformers and anyone concerned about the plight of our most vulnerable.
