Indian termination policy. Indian termination was the policy of the United States from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s.[1] The belief was that Native Americans would be better off if assimilated as individuals into mainstream American society. To that end, Congress proposed to end the special relationship between tribes and the federal government. The intention was to grant Native Americans all the rights and privileges of citizenship, and to reduce their dependence on a bureaucracy whose mismanagement had been documented. In practical terms, the policy terminated the U.S. government's recognition of sovereignty of tribes, trusteeship of Indian reservations, and exclusion of Indians from state laws. Native Americans were to become subject to state and federal taxes as well as laws, from which they had previously been exempt.[2] Process[edit] This article covers the process by which the Alaskan Natives avoided termination and the effects of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act.
Enabling legislation[edit] TIL that in the 50s & 60s the American gov forcibly removed Native American children from their parents and put them up for adoption or into institutions, in order to have them assimilate into "white culture". : todayilearned. Homogenization, Protests & Outright Rebellion: 1950s: Native Americans Move to the City—The Urban Relocation Program | Picture This. The mid 20th Century ushered in new federal Native American policy. In the 1950’s, in an attempt to move Indians off reservations and into cities, the federal government initiated a policy of removal and termination. Under this policy, Native Americans would no longer be government wards on reservations. They would be removed and made, according to the resolution: “subject to the same laws and entitled to the same privileges and responsibilities as are applicable to other citizens of the United States.” Their status as government wards would be terminated as would their cultural identities.
From the perspective of many Native Americans, the federal government’s relationship with them has been mostly one-sided. Treaties, acts and policies made by the federal government have consistently represented European American values; thus, giving little or no consideration to Native cultural values.

Contributors from the BBC's How Mad Are You? Photograph: BBC Why is it that despite great mountains of evidence to the contrary, there is such an overwhelming, pervasive belief, even among professionals, that mental health problems and general competence are mutually exclusive? Or to put it another way, why is it that so many competent people are seen as invulnerable? Why on earth shouldn't someone like Yasmin in How Mad Are You? , shown recently on BBC2, have suffered from depression?
Asked to select the participant least likely to have a mental health history, the three professionals observing them plumped as one for the eminently likeable Yasmin, on the grounds that she had "a sort of all-round competence". It turned out Yasmin had had severe depression. It was a highly emotional, revealing moment. How Mad Are You? "It should be easy", the voiceover told us. How Mad Are You?

The History of Shock Therapy in Psychiatry. Renato M.E. Sabbatini, PhD Fever and Mental Disease The Insulin Shock Therapy Chemical Convulsions and Schizophrenia The Electroconvulsive Shock Therapy To Know More The early decades of the 20th century witnessed a major revolution in the understanding and treatment of mental diseases. The knowledge that head trauma, convulsions and high fever could be good for improving mental disturbances is not new in Medicine. Between 1917 and 1935, four methods for producing physiological shock were discovered, tested and used in the psychiatric practice, all of them in Europe: Malaria-induced fever, to treat neurosyphillitic paresis, discovered in Vienna by Julius Wagner-Jauregg, in 1917; Insulin-induced coma and convulsions, to treat schizophrenia, discovered in Berlin by Manfred J.

Elevator Groupthink: A Psychology Experiment in Conformity, 1962. By Maria Popova What vintage Candid Camera can teach us about the cultural role of the global Occupy movement.
The psychology of conformity is something we’ve previously explored, but its study dates back to the 1950s, when Gestalt scholar and social psychology pioneer Solomon Asch, known today as the Asch conformity experiments. Among them is this famous elevator experiment, originally conducted as a part of a 1962 Candid Camera episode titled “Face the Rear.” But, while amusing in its tragicomic divulgence of our capacity for groupthink, this experiment tells only half the story of Asch’s work. As James Surowiecki reminds us in the excellent The Wisdom of Crowds, Asch went on to reveal something equally important — that while people slip into conformity with striking ease, it also doesn’t take much to get them to snap out of it.
Asch demonstrated this in a series of experiments, planting a confederate to defy the crowd by engaging in the sensible, rather than nonsensical, behavior. NY Times on Kesey's Death.

Here's an experiment for you, Shmoopers. Go grab the following items from your house: one kazoo, one large pot, and one wooden spoon.
Got 'em? Good. Now, proceed to the nearest busy street and proceed to play that kazoo and bang on that pot for all your worth. Chances are that, if you do this (and please, send us the videos if you do), you'll get some strange looks. That's exactly the sort of questions that are on the mind of Ken Kesey in his novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Published in 1962, the novel tells McMurphy's tale, along with the tale of other inmates who suffer under the yoke of the authoritarian Nurse Ratched. Rules are good, right? But One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest challenges all of that.
