experiments with the [U.S.] Central Intelligence Agency. The terms of
the
settlement are confidential, but Huard says it will allow her to live
out
her days in peace, with some peace of mind. "I was really so exhausted
from fighting for so many years,'' Huard told </span><em style="font-style: italic;">The
Canadian Press</em><span style="font-style: italic;">
in an interview. Huard was a young mother of four suffering from
post-partum depression when she checked herself into McGill's renowned
Allen Memorial Institute in 1950. On and off for the next 15 years, </span><strong style="font-style: italic;">she
was one of hundreds of patients of Dr. Ewan Cameron
subjected
to experimental treatments that included massive electroshock therapy,
experimental pills and LSD. <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">The
patients were induced into comas and
exposed to repetitive messages for days on end to brainwash
them</span>.</strong><span style="font-style: italic;">
Cameron pioneered a technique called <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">psychic
driving</span>,
which he believed
could erase harmful memories and rebuild psyches without psychiatric
defect. The idea intrigued the CIA, which recruited him to experiment
with
mind control beginning in 1950. Until 1964, Cameron conducted a range
of
experiments at the McGill institute, often without the knowledge or the
permission of his patients. The experiments were part of a larger CIA
program called </span><a href="http://www.wanttoknow.info/050626mkultra" style="font-style: italic;">MK-ULTRA</a><span style="font-style: italic;">,
which saw
LSD administered to U.S. prison inmates and patrons of brothels without
their knowledge. Huard said the treatment left her unable to
care
for her
children. She suffered memory loss and migraines for many years.</span><br>

scientists</a><span style="font-style: italic;">
to wipe out

by the CIA during the cold war while working at </span><a href="http://www.mcgill.ca/" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">McGill
University</a><span style="font-style: italic;">
in
Montreal, Canada. He carried out </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">mind-control

drugs such
as
LSD on hundreds of patients, but </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">only

Kastner</span></a><span style="font-style: italic;">, who underwent
electroshock treatment at a
Montreal psychiatric institute in 1953, and whose claim was rejected 10

Cameron
developed a range of depatterning “treatments” while director of
the Allan Memorial Institute at McGill University. Patients were woken
from drug-induced stupors two or three times
a day for multiple electric shocks. In a specially designed </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">sleep
room</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> made
famous by </span>Anne
Collins’s book<span style="font-style: italic;">
of the same name, Cameron
placed a speaker under the patient’s pillow and relayed negative
messages for 16 hours a day. Kastner was a 19-year-old honours student
suffering from mild
depression when she first underwent “treatment” in 1953. On returning
home she sucked her thumb, demanded to be fed from a bottle, talked in
a baby voice and urinated on the floor. She was ostracised by her
affluent family, who were unable to
cope with her changed state, and her marriage in 1955 quickly broke
down due to her difficulties. Cameron, who was born in Bridge of Allan
in 1901, rose to become the
first president of the <a href="http://www.wpanet.org/" style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">World
Psychiatric Association</span></a><span style="font-style: italic;">.

</div>

Il
comportamentismo può essere visto secondo due prospettive:
quella teorica e quella clinica. In generale le teorie del
comportamento si basano sul principio che tutti i comportamenti
"anormali" vengano acquisiti e mantenuti allo stesso modo dei
comportamenti cosiddetti "normali", e sia il risultato di un
apprendimento. I tre principali approcci della terapia
comportamentale sono: 1. l'analisi applicata del comportamento 2. il
modello neocomportamentale di mediazione stimolo-risposta e 3. la
teoria socio-cognitiva.</span><br>

<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px;"><font style="font-family: garamond; font-style: italic;">Dalla
seconda decade del '900 fino agli anni '60, una scuola di ricerca, il
comportamentismo, domina la scena mondiale della psicologia
scientifica. </font></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: justify;"><font style="font-family: garamond; font-style: italic;">Il
comportamentismo
nasce con uno scritto del 1913 del suo principale
proponente, John Watson; e a partire dagli anni '30 avrà Burrhus
Skinner come suo esponente più radicale. Si prende qui in esame
esclusivamente ciò che è misurabile e riproducibile
sperimentalmente: e
cioè il modo in cui il variare degli stimoli fa variare le
risposte
comportamentali. Quel che accade dentro la macchina corporea
fra
l'input dello stimolo e l'output della risposta interessa molto poco e
viene demandato ai fisiologi: l'organismo è preso come black
box,
scatola nera.</font><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><font style="font-family: garamond; font-style: italic;">Nella
sua accezione statunitense, il comportamentismo si lega alla <big><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">ideologia
dell'oggettività e dell'efficacia</span></big>. In nome dei
dati
della ricerca, il 'vissuto' soggettivo e introspettivo è
respinto come troppo evanescente
per potersene occupare con serietà, e il concetto di mente
è eliminato
come inconsistente. </font><font style="font-family: garamond;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Nasce
anche, con ciò, una sorta
di </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">anti
- individualismo</span><span style="font-style: italic;">:
infatti, non
lasciando alcuno spazio al
sentire del soggetto, viene anche a scomparire il variabile proporsi di
ciascuno come portatore di istanze proprie. </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">Gli
individui diventano
intercambiabili</span><span style="font-style: italic;">.
Questo
orientamento è rinforzato dalla certezza che
gli aspetti innati e le differenze fra gli esseri umani non siano
affatto rilevanti, e possano essere tranquillamente trascurati.
L'insistenza sulla modificabilità degli individui conduce i
comportamentisti a una vera e propria ingegneria dei comportamenti</span>.

(1862-1942),

Scribner Ames</a>
(1870-1958). He worked under <a href="http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Angell/functional.htm" style="font-weight: bold;">Angell in
experimental psychology</a>
and he
was spent many a pleasant Sunday in the laboratory with <a href="http://www.filosofico.net/mead.htm" style="font-weight: bold;">George
Herbert Mead</a>
watching the behavior of rats and
monkeys. <a href="http://www.brynmawr.edu/Acads/Psych/rwozniak/watson.html#4">[4]</a>
At Angell's suggestion, Watson chose neurology under Henry
Herbert
Donaldson
(1857-1938) as one
of his two minor fields. It was in this
context that he met <a href="http://www.nceas.ucsb.edu/%7Ealroy/lefa/Loeb.html" style="font-weight: bold;">Jacques
Loeb</a>
(1859-1924), a biologist who not only
made a number of independent contributions to objective psychology but
also was exerted a critical influence on the direction of Watson's
nascent objectivism. <a href="http://www.brynmawr.edu/Acads/Psych/rwozniak/watson.html#5">[5]</a>
was doing the same thing to
humans.
Watson, the founder of
what is known as the <a class="search" href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/databank/entries/dh13wa.html" target="_blank" style="font-weight: bold;">behaviorist
school of
psychology</a>,
believed the main significance of [his] studies lay not in the bare
fact that people and dogs <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">could
both be conditioned</span>
to
salivate to or
withdraw their toes from inherently neutral stimuli, but in their
implications for further and broader conditioning experiments. … In
particular, he suggested …that<br>
</p>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>
<div style="margin-left: 80px; text-align: justify;"><font-family: mistral=""><font style="font-family: mistral;" size="+2">human
emotions might profitably be thought of as
glandular and muscular reflexes which, like salivation, easily become
conditioned.</font><br>
