- ... and played with me, just as they liked it when I came and played with them. That's what our marriage has been Torvald." I think that it is at this point that Nora's world transforms from a "doll's house" into reality. After having finished this play, I think that Ibsen had chosen the perfect title, for Nora's world was truly reflective of the title.

- 10196: Methods Of Therapy
- ... my father- in-law has bi-polar depression which therapists have traced to Vietnam and his exposure to Agent Orange. So far the only treatment which has been effective, has been medication.

When all other avenues have been explored, medication is as appropriate as anything ... Both of these treatments have many side-effects and so are not immediately desirable. The lobotomy has been for the most part discontinued in the United States, because its side-effects are too serious and new drugs have better success rates and are therefore more preferable. The ECT has been very effective in reducing depression and decreasing the suicide rate and so it can be a last resort when other ...
