Torture and Human Rights abuses in shock therapy

UNITED NATIONS
Report tells of torture by drugs, misuse of psychiatry
 
GENEVA, Thursday (Reuter). - A report prepared for the United Nations Commission on Human Rights has highlighted what it describes as "horrible misuse of psychiatry, psychiatric treatment and torture by drugs".

The commission opened its annual conference in Geneva on Monday, and the report will be debated at its 1984 session in about two weeks.

The report documents numerous allegations of officially sanctioned abuses of psychiatry and drugs mainly, but not exclusively, in East European countries.

The report was prepared by a UN special rapporteur, Ms Erica-Irene Dacs, of Greece, who said hundreds of innocent and sane people were locked away in psychiatric hospitals and prisons.
 
They were beaten and forcibly given drugs, electro-shock and insulin-shock treatment in grave violation of their human rights.
In a preface, Ms Daes said involuntary admission to and detention in mental hospitals was being used especially against "persons who are protecting fundamental freedoms and exercising their human rights".

The report quotes the London-based human-rights group Amnesty International as saying that prisoners of conscience in Soviet mental hospitals were regularly subjected to excessive doses of drugs as a form of punishment.

Psychiatric prisoners were subjected to insulin shock therapy, beatings and immobilisation.
 
They were put under pressure to renounce their convictions and the pub lic expression.of their convictions as a precondition for release, Amnesty said in its evidence to the UN study.

A recent US State Department study estimated that about 10,000 political or religious prisoners were held in Soviet prisons,- labour camps or psychiatric hospitals.

Amnesty said the situation was worse in Romania. Reports from there said prisoners were forcibly subjected to treatment with drugs, electro-shock treatment, beatings by medical assistants and reduced food rations.

Amnesty also accused Iran of large scale human rights violations, saying unfair trials, torture and death sentences were widespread.
It had recorded well over 5,000 executions in Iran since the 1979'revolution but said that the actual figure was higher. 

Thousands of people had been imprisoned solely for their political or religious activities, including at least 700 members of the Baha'i faith.

Amnesty said it had received many reports of executions which had not been announced by the judicial authorities, who had at times ordered hundreds of executions in a single night.

People had been put to death for adultery, homosexuality and drug of fences. From September to December 1983, more than 200 people had been executed for drug dealing, among them pregnant women and people under the age of 18.

Amnesty said it believed, torture in Iran was widespread and that most of those jailed were ill-treated, although the Iranian Constitution prohibitcd whipping and torture.

Viennese endocrinologist who transplanted testicles from straight men into gay men in attempts to change their sexual orientation


Sigmund Freud

Freud (1856–1939) was skeptical of the possibility of therapeutic conversion.
Sigmund Freud was a physician and the founder of psychoanalysis. Freud stated that homosexuality could sometimes be removed through hypnotic suggestion,[24] and was influenced by Eugen Steinach, a Viennese endocrinologist who transplanted testicles from straight men into gay men in attempts to change their sexual orientation,[25] stating that his research had “thrown a strong light on the organic determinants of homo-eroticism”.[26] Freud cautioned that Steinach's operations would not necessarily make possible a therapy that could be generally applied, arguing that such transplant procedures would be effective in changing homosexuality in men only in cases in which it was strongly associated with physical characteristics typical of women, and that probably no similar therapy could be applied to lesbianism.[27][28] In fact Steinach’s method was doomed to failure because the immune system rejects transplanted glands, and was eventually exposed as ineffective and often harmful.[29]
Freud‘s main discussion of female homosexuality was the 1920 paper “The Psychogenesis of a Case of Homosexuality in a Woman“, which described his analysis of a young woman who had entered therapy because her parents were concerned that she was a lesbian. Her father wanted this condition changed. In Freud‘s view, the prognosis was unfavourable because of the circumstances under which she entered therapy, and because homosexuality was not an illness or neurotic conflict. Freud wrote that changing homosexuality was difficult and possible only under unusually favourable conditions, observing that “in general to undertake to convert a fully developed homosexual into a heterosexual does not offer much more prospect of success than the reverse.”[30] Success meant making heterosexual feeling possible, not eliminating homosexual feelings.[31]
Gay people could seldom be convinced that heterosexual sex would provide them with the same pleasure they derived from homosexual sex. Patients often wanted to become heterosexual for reasons Freud considered superficial, including fear of social disapproval, an insufficient motive for change. Some might have no real desire to become heterosexual, seeking treatment only to convince themselves that they had done everything possible to change, leaving them free to return to homosexuality after the failure they expected.[32][33][34]
In 1935, a mother asked Freud to treat her son. Freud replied in a letter that later became famous:[35]
"I gather from your letter that your son is a homosexual. [...] it is nothing to be ashamed of, no vice, no degradation; it cannot be classified as an illness; we consider it to be a variation of the sexual function, produced by a certain arrest of sexual development. [...] By asking me if I can help [your son], you mean, I suppose, if I can abolish homosexuality and make normal heterosexuality take its place. The answer is, in a general way we cannot promise to achieve it. In a certain number of cases we succeed in developing the blighted germs of heterosexual tendencies, which are present in every homosexual; in the majority of cases it is no more possible. It is a question of the quality and the age of the individual. The result of treatment cannot be predicted."[36]

Rachel Maddow Tears the "Cure the Gays"

After calling him out for the past week, Richard Cohen tries to take on Rachel Maddow in defense of his "cure the gays" industry, but Rachel turns the tables and uses Cohen's own words against him virtually tearing him a new asshole. This is a condensed version of the full 18 minute interview to comport with YouTube's time limits, but it reflects the best of the complete interview.

Conversion therapy in Melbourne
Clin Endocrinol (Oxf). 1976 Jul;5(4):349-72.

Changes in the pituitary-testicular system with age.

Abstract

In order to provide a comprehensive account of pituitary-testicular function in man, 466 subjects, ranging in age from 2 to 101 years, were studied to examine blood levels of the pituitary gonadotrophins (LH and FSH), the sex steroids testosterone and oestradiol, the binding capacity of the sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), the free testosterone and oestradiol fractions, and the transfer constant for the peripheral conversion of testosterone to oestradiol. The results were compared with clinical indices of testicular size, sexual function and secondary sex hair distribution. Serum LH and FSH were low before puberty, increased in pubertal adolescents to levels somewhat above those of adults and subsequently increased progressively over the age of 40 years. Testosterone levels fell slowly after the age of 40, while there was a slight rise in plasma oestradiol with increasing age. FSH and testosterone showed small seasonal variations in young adult men, the lowest values being seen in winter. SHBG binding capacity was high in two prepubertal boys, fell in adult men, but increased in old age. Free testosterone and oestradiol levels fell in old age. The metabolic clearance rates (MCR) of testosterone and oestradiol also fell in old age, while the conversion of testosterone to oestradiol was increased. Many correlations were observed between various hormonal and clincial measurements. The evidence is consistent with a primary decrease in testicular function over the age of 40 years.

Against Their Will

They were wives and daughters. Sisters. Unwed mothers. Children. Even a 10-year-old boy. The sterilization program ended in 1974, but its legacy will not go away. Many of its victims are still alive and they bear witness to a bureaucracy that trampled on the rights of the poor and the powerless.
