The Russian Empire was an empire and the final period of the Russian monarchy from 1721 to 1917, ruling across large parts of Eurasia.

Self-defeating Personality Disorder
Self-defeating personality disorder (also known as masochistic personality disorder) was a proposed personality disorder. As a descriptor for ''Other personality disorder'' it was mentioned in the DSM-III in 1980. It was discussed in an appendix of the revised third edition of the ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders'' (DSM-III-R) in 1987, but was never formally admitted into the manual. Because of its significant overlap with other personality disorders ( borderline, avoidant and dependent) the distinction was not seen as clinically valuable. It was entirely excluded from the DSM-IV. Since the DSM-5, the diagnoses other specified personality disorder and unspecified personality disorder have mostly replaced its use. Diagnosis Definition proposed in DSM III-R for further review Self-defeating personality disorder is: :A) A pervasive pattern of self-defeating behavior, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. The person may often av ...

Passive Aggressive Behavior
Passive-aggressive behavior is characterized by a pattern of passive hostility and an avoidance of direct communication. Inaction where some action is socially customary is a typical passive-aggressive strategy (showing up late for functions, staying silent when a response is expected). Such behavior is sometimes protested by associates, evoking exasperation or confusion. People who are recipients of passive-aggressive behavior may experience anxiety due to the discordance between what they perceive and what the perpetrator is saying. Application Psychology In psychology, "passive-aggression" is one of the most misused of psychological terms . After some debate, the American Psychiatric Association dropped it from the list of personality disorders in the DSM IV as too narrow to be a full-blown diagnosis and not well enough supported by scientific evidence to meet increasingly rigorous standards of definition . Culturally, the ambiguous "passive-aggressive" label is misused by l ...
