Note that this chapter can and should cover motivation and emotion. However, if you find that you want to focus more specifically on one or the other, let me know and we renegotiate the topic.
There is increasingly good science suggesting that torture, whilst tempting, is not particularly effective at obtaining truth, and has other undesirable consequences. But what are the alternatives?
Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along.

The top-level headings between Overview and Conclusion make sense - they are logical
Adopt closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
Quiz doesn't need a separate heading; instead embed quiz questions within relevant sections
I've changed what is torture to what is torture interrogation - closer to the topic. Keep the definitional/historical material to a minimum. The subsequent sections are more important.
Add question mark to "How does motivation and emotion impact the effectiveness of torture". This is arguably the most important section.

Hey,
This topic looks so interesting and can't wait to see it developed!
I would suggest to include information and potentially display this in a table regarding the different types of torture (in the Historical Perspective section - I would also reconsider calling this 'historical' unless the same focus will be history as it seems to be mainly the different types at this stage) so that the quiz can be easily answered. Including some (non-distributing) images may also be necessary to display.
Adding wiki-hyperlinks in aswell to save you describing things (eg. Maslow's heirachy of needs) and save your word count for more information.
