Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders
Individuals with psychotic disorders are characterized by irrational, bizarre beliefs (delusions) and perceptual disturbances (hallucinations). Although these disorders have a relatively low prevalence, they account for a large portion of the costs of mental health care. These disorders start in early adulthood, are relatively chronic, and last an entire normal adult lifetime. Many individuals with schizophrenia are severely impaired and often unable to work or care for themselves. Many of the individuals with schizophrenia are homeless and are entangled in the criminal justice system due to the lack of community resources to treat them. Defendants who are successful with the insanity defense typically have a history of suffering from a severe and persistent mental illness, usually schizophrenia.
As a forensic mental health professional, two major reasons that increase your likelihood of interacting with individuals with schizophrenia are criminal behavior and suicide, as individuals with schizophrenia are at increased risk of both. Individuals with schizophrenia are more likely to commit suicide than individuals with any other diagnosis. As a forensic mental health professional, you should learn about the risk factors for suicide and suicide prevention skills.
Refer to the Webliography section to learn more on suicide prevention.
The issue of severe and persistent mental illness poses important ethical and legal questions. For example, is it ethical and legal to force people to take medications? Many of the antipsychotic medications have unpleasant side effects, some of which can be irreversible, such as tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia is an extrapyramidal symptom that involves involuntary movements of the face, mouth, tongue, or jaw. This can cause difficulty in speaking and eating for the patient. Other ethical concerns are involuntary hospitalization and the placement of individuals with severe and persistent mental illness among the general prison population.
Psycholegal Issues
As a forensic health professional, it is important for you to understand the psycholegal issues of competency to stand trial and the insanity defense, both of which involve individuals with psychotic disorders (mental illness).
For example, the Supreme Court has ruled that individuals who cannot understand the punishment that they might receive or the reasons for it cannot be executed. Thus, in the United States, a person with severe mental illness cannot be executed if found incompetent to stand trial. There have been cases of mentally ill individuals on death row who have been found incompetent to be executed (not competent to receive the death penalty). In such instances, the role of the state is to return the person to competency in order for the individual to be executed since it can be assumed that the individual was competent at some time. If the person had been found incompetent, he or she would not have g.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth aged 15-24. Approximately one in 15 high school students report attempting suicide each year. Common reasons for suicide among youth include mental health issues like depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia, substance abuse, bullying, family problems like divorce or abuse, stress, and inability to cope with problems or express feelings. Warning signs may include talking about suicide, withdrawing from others, mood swings, risky behavior, and giving away possessions. Immediate help should be sought by calling emergency services if a suicide attempt occurs or is imminent.
Antisocial personality disorder is a psychological disorder characterized by dysfunctional and destructive thinking and relating to others. People with this disorder have no regard for others' rights and feelings and manipulate or antagonize others for pleasure or gain, showing no remorse. Symptoms often begin in childhood and become fully evident in the 20s-30s, potentially including cruelty to animals and bullying. Half of male inmates meet criteria for this disorder.

Childhood conduct problems and adult criminality
Part I, Issue Analysis
This paper will focus on childhood conduct problems and adult criminality. In the paper
deficit disorders with or without hyperactivity (ADHD)
will be analyzed and how it causes criminal activity in adulthood.
According to past research, adult males are more affected by the ADHD compared to adult women. This paper will help us understand why this is the case. It is not in all cases that a child diagnosed with ADHD will be a criminal, but the occurrence rate of ADHD patients being criminals is considerably high. About 50% of children with the disorder ends up committing serious activities of crime and widens records of arrest.
Attention Deficit Disorders With or Without Hyperactivity (ADHD)
When a person has low
brain dysfunctions
or unusual cerebral structures he/she may experience explosive rage periods that may cause violent episodes, hence violent crimes. It is these brain dysfunctions that are diagnosed as ADHD that causes antisocial behavior. It is very common to find ADHD levels among criminal justice system offenders. About 25% of inmates in prison are diagnosed with ADHD with about 70% percent of prisoners exhibiting a considerable level of ADHD symptoms. Further, there is an association of ADHD with other conditions that increases levels of offending, including deficits in neuropsychological, low cognitive and academic skills, psychological problems, defiance and aggression and also truancy.
ADHD Characteristic Traits
A child with ADHD will have concentration problems, hyperactivity and will be impulsive. The child will not be able to sit still, control his/her behavior,
will have problems with
concentration. ADHD is classified into three

Summary Of Special Education Terminology, Concepts, And...Tara Smith
According to the document, autism is defined as a complex developmental disability that affects a person's ability to communicate and interact with others. It typically appears during the first three years of life and is a spectrum disorder that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. An intellectual disability is defined as significantly subaverage intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior manifested during development. A hearing impairment is defined as an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child's educational performance.
Defination and criteria of abnormality.pptxSimranBaral
The document discusses various criteria that have been proposed for defining psychological abnormality, but argues that none are sufficient on their own. It examines subjective distress, maladaptiveness, statistical deviance, violations of social/moral standards, social discomfort, irrationality/unpredictability, and dangerousness as potential criteria, but provides counterarguments for why each is problematic as the sole criterion. The document concludes that judgments of abnormality involve subjective value determinations based on multiple factors rather than any single criterion.

Report Overview
In this assignment, you will
Document and reflect on your university education and on learning experiences outside of the university;
Articulate how your upper-level coursework is an integrated and individualized curriculum built around your interests; and
Highlight the experiences, skills, and projects that show what you can do.
A successful report submission will be the product of many hours of work over several weeks.
A report earning maximum available points will be a carefully curated and edited explanation of your work that provides tangible evidence of—and insights into—your competencies and capabilities over time. In each section of this report, you are (1) telling a story about your own abilities, and (2) providing specific examples and evidence that illustrate and support your claims.
✍
Required Report Sections
Here the sections are listed as they must appear in your final graded submission. You’ll arrange the sections in this order when
submitting
the final report BUT you won’t follow this order when
writing
drafts of each section.
Note that each section description contains a Pro Tip that tells you how to proceed with the work – what to attempt first, second, and third, etc.
❖ I. Statement of Purpose ❖
Step 1.
Read these four very different
examples of successful Statement of Purpose sections
.
Step 2.
Consider the differences in tone, style, level of detail etc. Your own statement of purpose may resemble one of these. Indeed, writing a first draft based on an example or combination of examples is a good idea. BUT don’t let these examples limit your thinking or personal expression. You may want to begin with a quote from a famous person, use a quote from your mom, or skip the quote. You may want to discuss your personal motivations or get right down to the facts. You may want to list your classes or discuss how your work-life led you to this path.
Step 3.
Write a rough draft – let’s call that Statement of Purpose 1.0. Write Statement of Purpose 1.0 as quickly as you can and then put it away until after you have completed most of the report. Forget about Statement of Purpose 1.0 until most of your report is at least in draft form.
Step 4.
Once you have a draft of all sections of your report, you are in a good position to revise Statement of Purpose 1. You are ready for Step 4. Take Statement of Purpose 1.0 out its dusty vault and hold it up to the sun. Ah. Now read your report draft and compare it to the claims you made in Statement of Purpose 1.0. Ask yourself these questions:
Does Statement of Purpose 1.0. accurately introduce my report?
Are there important ideas or representative experiences in the report that should be highlighted in the Statement of Purpose but aren’t? Remember this isn’t a treasure hunt where its your reader’s job to figure out what matters. It’s your job to show the reader what matters.

Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

- Jonathan Lethem is known for publishing many novels, stories, essays and other works across different genres. He is described as a "protean" or shape-shifting writer.
- Lethem believes creativity comes from influence and interaction with other works, not isolated originality. He celebrates the "ecstasy of influence" where culture is built upon what came before through borrowing and remixing.
- Many artists, including musicians, visual artists and writers, engage in practices that borrow and reuse elements from other works but these practices are seen as essential to creativity rather than plagiarism. Appropriation and remixing are at the core of cultural production.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us, this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version, the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course, all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story, our choice is between a course of action that will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)
1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?
2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
o The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
o The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.
3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.

of the following options below and, in your post, write a paraphrase that avoids plagiarism of the paragraph you have chosen. Your paraphrase can be as long as the excerpt you have chosen, but should not duplicate any phrasing from the excerpt. If you must, you can quote up to three words in a phrase.
Choose to paraphrase ONE of the excerpts below:
Option 1
Morrison began writing Sula in 1969, a time of great activism among African Americans and others who were working toward equal civil rights and opportunities. The book addresses issues of racism, bigotry, and suppression of African Americans; it depicts the despair people feel when they can't get decent jobs, and the determination of some to survive. Eva, for example, cuts off her leg in order to get money to raise her family. Morrison shows how, faced with racist situations, some people had to grovel to whites simply to get by, as Helene does on a train heading through the South. Others, however, fought back, as Sula does when she threatens some white boys who are harassing her and Nel.
or
Option 2
In 1993, Morrison was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature, and thus became the first African American and only the eighth woman ever to win the award. According to Maureen O'Brien in Publishers Weekly, Morrison said, "What is most wonderful for me personally is to know that the Prize has at last been awarded to an African American. I thank God that my mother is alive to see this day." In 1996, she received the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

••• JONATHAN LETHEM CRITICS OFTEN USE the word prolifi.docxanhlodge
- Jonathan Lethem is known for publishing many novels, stories, essays and other works across different genres. He is described as a "protean" or shape-shifting writer.
- Lethem believes creativity comes from influence and interaction with other works, not isolated originality. He celebrates the "ecstasy of influence" where culture is built upon what came before through borrowing and remixing.
- Many artists, including musicians, visual artists and writers, engage in practices that borrow and reuse elements from other works but these practices are seen as essential to creativity rather than plagiarism. Appropriation and remixing are at the core of cultural production.

A National Profile of
the Real Estate Industry and
the Appraisal Profession
by J. Reid Cummings and Donald R. Epley, PhD, MAI, SRA
FEATURES
T
J- he
he real estate industry has been devastated on many fronts' in the years
following the Great Recession, whieh began in 2007^ due to the bursting of the
housing bubble and the subsequent finaneial crisis relating to the mortgage
market meltdown.' The implosion of the mortgage markets initially began when
two Bear Stearns mortgage-backed securities hedge funds, holding nearly $10
billion in assets, disintegrated into nothing.* Panie quickly spread to financial
institutions that could not hide the extent of their toxic, subprime exposures, and
a massive, worldwide credit squeeze ensued; outright fear soon replaced panic.
Subsequent eredit tightening and substantial illiquidity in the financial markets
rapidly and severely affected the housing and construction markets.' Throughout
the United States, properties of all kinds saw dramatic value declines.
In thousands of cases, real estate foreclosures disrupted people's lives,
forced businesses to close, eaused financial institutions to falter, capsized wbole
market segments, devastated entire industries, and squeezed municipal and state
government budgets dependent upon use and property tax revenues.* While the
effeets of property value declines and the waves of foreclosures in markets across
the country captured most of the headlines, one significant impact of the upheaval
in US real estate markets has gone largely unreported: its impact on employment
in the real estate industry, and specifically, the real estate appraisal profession.
This article presents a
current employment
profile of the US real
estate industry, with
special attention given
to appraisal profes-
sionals. It serves as an
informative picture of
the appraisal profession
for use as a benchmark
for future assessment
of growth. As a
component of the real
estate industry, the
appraisal profession
ranks as the smallest
in employment, is
highly correlated to
movements in empioy-
ment of brokers and
agents, and relies on
commerciai banking,
credit, and real estate
lessors and managers
to deliver its products.

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

Schizophrenia and Psychotic DisordersIndividuals with psyc.docx
1. Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders
Individuals with psychotic disorders are characterized by
irrational, bizarre beliefs (delusions) and perceptual
disturbances (hallucinations). Although these disorders have a
relatively low prevalence, they account for a large portion of
the costs of mental health care. These disorders start in early
adulthood, are relatively chronic, and last an entire normal adult
lifetime. Many individuals with schizophrenia are severely
impaired and often unable to work or care for themselves. Many
of the individuals with schizophrenia are homeless and are
entangled in the criminal justice system due to the lack of
community resources to treat them. Defendants who are
successful with the insanity defense typically have a history of
suffering from a severe and persistent mental illness, usually
schizophrenia.
As a forensic mental health professional, two major reasons that
increase your likelihood of interacting with individuals with
schizophrenia are criminal behavior and suicide, as individuals
with schizophrenia are at increased risk of both. Individuals
with schizophrenia are more likely to commit suicide than
individuals with any other diagnosis. As a forensic mental
health professional, you should learn about the risk factors for
suicide and suicide prevention skills.
Refer to the Webliography section to learn more on suicide
prevention.
The issue of severe and persistent mental illness poses
important ethical and legal questions. For example, is it ethical
and legal to force people to take medications? Many of the
antipsychotic medications have unpleasant side effects, some of
which can be irreversible, such as tardive dyskinesia. Tardive
dyskinesia is an extrapyramidal symptom that involves
2. involuntary movements of the face, mouth, tongue, or jaw. This
can cause difficulty in speaking and eating for the patient. Other
ethical concerns are involuntary hospitalization and the
placement of individuals with severe and persistent mental
illness among the general prison population.
Psycholegal Issues
As a forensic health professional, it is important for you to
understand the psycholegal issues of competency to stand trial
and the insanity defense, both of which involve individuals with
psychotic disorders (mental illness).
For example, the Supreme Court has ruled that individuals who
cannot understand the punishment that they might receive or the
reasons for it cannot be executed. Thus, in the United States, a
person with severe mental illness cannot be executed if found
incompetent to stand trial. There have been cases of mentally ill
individuals on death row who have been found incompetent to
be executed (not competent to receive the death penalty). In
such instances, the role of the state is to return the person to
competency in order for the individual to be executed since it
can be assumed that the individual was competent at some time.
If the person had been found incompetent, he or she would not
have gone to trial. The Supreme Court has ruled that
competency is competency regardless of why competency is
being considered. Thus, the same standard is applied to
competence to stand trial, competence to waive counsel, and
competence to be executed. The question is whether an inmate
sentenced to death can refuse treatment that would return him or
her to competency. Additionally, what is the role of the forensic
mental health professional? Should the mental health
professional work to return an inmate to competency?
Some of these psycholegal issues have complicated ethical
issues that also involve the practitioners' professional and
personal values. The practice of forensic mental health has
3. many ethical and legal pitfalls. It is important to continue to
seek education and consultation in these areas.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
ADHD, which is no longer referred to just as attention deficit
disorder, is a condition of attentional difficulties. Individuals
with ADHD are able to pay attention to things around them, but
they have a great deal of difficulty discerning what to pay
attention to and what not to pay attention to, which results in
them paying attention to too many things at once rather than
just to relevant stimuli. In other words, people with ADHD are
not good at screening out unimportant information around them.
For example, a child in a classroom might pay attention to how
fast he can twitch his foot for a while without paying attention
to what the teacher is saying.
While boys are diagnosed with ADHD at about twice the rate of
girls, it is believed that ADHD is underdiagnosed in girls and
perhaps overdiagnosed in boys. The challenge with properly
diagnosing girls with ADHD is that girls tend to have a
predominately inattentive presentation whereas boys tend to
have a predominantly hyperactive/impulsive presentation.
Essentially, girls with inattentive ADHD go unnoticed because
they are not a behavioral problem in the classroom. Conversely,
boys with hyperactive/impulsive ADHD are almost impossible
not to notice. Although ADHD is usually diagnosed in
childhood, it can be diagnosed in adulthood as well.
While ADHD is not in and of itself linked to criminal behavior,
the impulsivity aspect of it might be in that individuals with
ADHD might have a hard time thinking through the
consequences of any illegal behavior. Further, in a correctional
setting, individuals with ADHD will likely have difficulty
following directions, particularly directions that are given to a
group rather than individually or directions with multiple steps.
Aggression in Childhood and Adolescence
4. As a forensic mental health professional, two disruptive
disorders of childhood that you will probably see are
oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder, due to the
aggressive behaviors that are associated with them.
Of the two, oppositional defiant disorder, which is usually
diagnosed in children under the age of twelve years, is less
severe as it centers on verbal aggression and noncompliance
with adults rather than criminal behavior. However, conduct
disorder does involve criminal behavior such as physical
aggression, theft, vandalism, or truancy. Unlike conduct
disorder, which is a criterion for an adult diagnosis of antisocial
personality disorder, oppositional defiant disorder is not a
criterion for conduct disorder. Similarly, just as conduct
disorder does not necessarily lead to antisocial personality
disorder, oppositional defiant disorder does not necessarily lead
to conduct disorder.
Impulse Control Disorders
The term “impulse control disorder” describes conditions that
occur due to an irresistible impulse to engage in the problematic
behavior. Intermittent explosive disorder (aggressive outbursts),
kleptomania (shoplifting), and pyromania (fire setting) each
have in common an irresistible urge to carry out the behavior
despite knowledge of the adverse consequences that often
result. They each experience excitement and pleasure while
contemplating or carrying out the problematic behavior.
Consider the following case example:
Juan is a fourteen-year-old male who lives with his mom and
two brothers (aged twelve and sixteen years). Juan is in the
eighth grade and does not like school. His mom works two part-
time jobs to be able to afford food and rent for her three kids,
5. which means that she is often not at home. Juan has very few
friends and was recently kicked off the community soccer team
for repeatedly not showing up to practice. His mom cannot drive
him to practice, and the two buses that are needed to get there
take over an hour. Juan’s older brother recently began smoking,
and when Juan was offered a cigarette, he declined. However,
he was intrigued by how his brother lit the cigarette, and he
secretly took his brother’s matches. The next day, he played a
game with the matches by lighting them in his room and
dropping them in an empty soda can. A few days later, he
burned a paper that was a failed test from a class that he did not
like. He was a bit worried that the fire would spread, but he was
able to put it out by smothering the burning paper with one of
his shirts. He threw the burnt shirt away without anyone
knowing and hoped it would not be missed. He found the fire
exciting, and he felt powerful that he was able to start it and
then put it out. Days later, he lit a small fire in his bedroom that
burned some of the wood on the floor. This time, it set off the
smoke detector in their apartment and his older brother had to
come in to help him put it out. Juan’s mom was not home at the
time, and Juan asked his older brother to keep the fire a secret
in exchange for him not telling about his older brother’s
smoking. His older brother agreed and warned Juan to “not burn
the place down.” The following week, Juan lit a fire in a
garbage can in a bathroom at school. The fire department was
called to extinguish it. It was readily apparent that the fire had
been intentionally set. Security cameras in the hallway of the
school later identified Juan as the culprit. The next day, Juan
was suspended from school, charged with arson, and brought to
the local juvenile detention facility. When his mom was notified
of his arrest and detention, she was shocked and had no
knowledge of any of his fire-setting behavior.
While kleptomania, pyromania, and intermittent explosive
disorder are often seen in adolescents, they are not disorders
that are exclusive to youth, as adults can have them as well.
Further, a diagnosis of any of these three disorders is not a
6. criterion for having them as an adult. In other words, it is
possible to develop these disorders in adulthood without having
exhibited any such behaviors during adolescence. In adults,
intermittent explosive disorder is often referred to as the adult
version of “temper tantrums” since the reaction that is displayed
in the angry outbursts is quite extreme for a given situation,
such as screaming at an employee at a fast-food restaurant
because the order was not completed properly.
Pyromaniacs (arsonists) are actually considered among the most
dangerous of offenders due to the potential for significant loss
of life that fire setting can cause. In fact, the penal system
views fire setters as equivalent to mass murderers.
Alternatively, kleptomaniacs (shoplifters) are usually not
dangerous at all. Additionally, kleptomania is irrespective of
social status, which means that a kleptomaniac could be
impoverished or wealthy. Many who engage in compulsive theft
do not do so out of a need for the items that they take. Often,
the items are kept but not used or even sold for profit. They
steal simply for the “thrill” of getting away with it. When these
individuals are caught, they are often given probation and their
prison sentence, if any, is generally brief since they are
nondangerous offenders.
Conclusion
Psychotic disorders are the very definition of mental illness. For
example, someone with depression, anxiety, or a personality
disorder is not considered mentally ill. Rather, the person has a
psychological disorder or condition. In other words, someone
who only has depression, anxiety, or a personality disorder is
not going to have issues with competency to stand trial or
insanity if charged with a crime. Only individuals who are
mentally ill, typically the severely and persistently mentally ill
(SPMI) population, have issues related to competency or
insanity. Another important clarification is the distinction
7. between mental illness and intellectual disability (formerly
called mental retardation). Someone with an intellectual
disability has a low level of intelligence, and, for that reason,
he or she may have issues with competency to stand trial or
insanity.
However, having an intellectual disability and being mentally ill
are not the same. To be diagnosed with an intellectual
disability, the individual must be identified as having it
sometime during childhood, because an intellectual disability is
not a condition that would begin in adulthood unless it occurred
due to a significant head injury in adulthood, known as
traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is important to know the
intellectual disability criteria, as offenders may attempt to feign
low levels of intelligence in order to attempt to evade
responsibility for their charges. This behavior is known as
malingering, and every forensic mental health professional is
likely to encounter it at some point in his or her career. In fact,
offenders may also attempt to feign mental illness in an attempt
to avoid accountability for their charges. In either case, it is
essential to detect when malingering is occurring so that
offenders are not able to successfully manipulate the criminal
justice system.

11. Mr. Corrigan: Schizophrenia is considered perhaps one of the
most serious of psychiatric disorders. In
part, because it's related to lot of symptoms that people
normally think of when they think of serious mental
illness.
Speaker: The term schizophrenia comes from the Greek words
Skhizein which means to split and phren
which means mind. A common misinterpretation is that people
with this disease have a split personality, but
the name actually refers to a split in perception between the real
world and a fantasy world of paranoid
delusions.
Mr. Gejman: Many persons with schizophrenia have
hallucinations. That means that they hear voices.
Usually the voices that the patients thinks that are terrifying or
not nice about the patient himself. And they
may not recognize that their voices are not real either.
Ms. Hanson: The symptoms of schizophrenia may be sudden
appearing within days or weeks or they may
develop slowly.
Speaker: Common symptoms include deep paranoia, visual and
auditory hallucinations, illogical thinking
and flat emotional responses to situations. People experiencing
these symptoms are often unaware they
need medical attention. If any of these symptoms sound familiar
to you or someone you know, it's important
to seek help right away.
Ms. Hanson: Without proper treatment, schizophrenia can take a
tremendous toll on a person's life. Many
people can't work or unable to care for themselves and a few or
13. 2
Schizophrenia Overview
Mr. Corrigan: If we review population studies, you find that
relatives of people with schizophrenia are
able – are likely to have that disorder at greater rate. So if
there's family built-in schizophrenia it probably
indicates genetics.
Speaker: Was there a specific incident that happened?
Speaker: We just had exchange of words. That's all it was and
those are things he say and I was just
having a bad day that day.
Ms. Hanson: Because schizophrenia shares many symptoms in
common with other mental illnesses,
diagnosing, it can be difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. A
psychiatrist will closely examine a patient's
mental history. The doctor may also want to interview family
members and friends of the patient. There are
also several questionnaires that doctors sometimes administer to
gauge whether a patient is suffering from
schizophrenia.
Mr. Lerman: In spite of all the new medical diagnostic imaging
techniques, MRI's, functional MRIs et
cetera, it's a clinical diagnosis. It's a diagnosis that's made by a
psychiatrist interviewing a patient and
usually with other information from friends or family members.
Ms. Hanson: Though schizophrenia can be debilitating, safe and
effective treatment options are available
14. to help manage the disease. Medication, psychotherapy, and
peer and family support groups can all be
used to keep the illness under control and help people recover
from the damaging effects of the disease.
Mr. Zipple: The thing that is probably the biggest
misconception is that people don’t recover and people
really do, they may have to take medications for a very long
time, but if you look at the data for a people
over a 5,10, 15, 20 year period, most people recover quite well.
Speaker: No, there it is, nice #[ 5:39].
Mr. Devulapally: It doesn’t have to impair or limit the prison in
their goals, and in their pursuits in life.
Mr. Corrigan: It is reasonable to think that people with
schizophrenia who are receiving the appropriate
mediation and the breath of rehab and individual needs that they
should be able to go back to work and live
on their own develop adult relationships and enjoy their life.
Ms. Hanson: There are plenty of reasons for people suffering
from schizophrenia to be hopeful. In the other
chapters of this episode, you'll learn more about schizophrenia,
its symptoms, how it's diagnosed and the
way those affected by the disease or coping with it. We'll also
tell you about the latest treatment options
available for schizophrenia. In our personal stories chapter,
you'll meet a real patient with schizophrenia
and discover how he has managed to treat and live with this

Feedback for Second Option
That’s correct!
This is the most likely disorder for Jason. He has had
nonbizarre hallucinations due to believing that he is
loved by someone famous and that they could become a couple
after he kidnapped high-profile individuals
to get noticed by her.
Feedback for Third Option
That’s incorrect!
Antisocial personality disorder is an incorrect diagnosis. The
vignette doesn’t mention whether Jason had a
history of conduct disorder as a youth, which is a required
criterion for antisocial personality disorder.
Without knowing that key piece of information, a diagnosis of
antisocial personality disorder could not be
made. However, even if he does not meet the criteria for
antisocial personality disorder, this does not mean
that he did not commit a very serious crime. It’s important to
remember that not every criminal has
antisocial personality disorder, although many do.
17. Childhood Disorders
Oppositional Defiant Disorder
Oppositional defiant disorder is characterized by negativistic,
defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior
toward authority figures. Since all children exhibit some degree
of defiance, it might be tempting for parents
to see this as a normal part of childhood. However, the difficult
behaviors that comprise this disorder
exceed what would be typical in the average child.
Conduct Disorder
A more severe behavior disorder is conduct disorder, which is a
chronic pattern of the violation of the rights
of others. Conduct disorder is sometimes referred to as the
adolescent version of antisocial personality
disorder since antisocial personality disorder can be diagnosed
only in adults. Similarly, conduct disorder
can be diagnosed only in adolescents. However, conduct
disorder and antisocial personality disorder are
linked in that conduct disorder is a necessary prodromal phase
for the diagnosis of antisocial personality
disorder. Although all adults who have antisocial personality
disorder must have had conduct disorder in
their youth (otherwise, they would not have qualified for
antisocial personality disorder), not all adolescents
with conduct disorder will develop antisocial personality
disorder. In fact, since adults with antisocial
personality disorder are extremely dangerous, when an
adolescent has conduct disorder, every attempt
should be made to implement the appropriate interventions in
order to give the adolescent every

and felt that they would make the “perfect couple” at the
upcoming dance.
During high school, Jason was teased frequently. He began to
believe that being taunted would increase
Amelia’s desire to meet him. During his senior year, he
inadvertently blurted out that he would be attending
the prom with Amelia, which only increased how much he was
taunted by his classmates. He was mocked
even more when his lie was exposed after he did not attend his
senior prom at all. He further resented his
mom for trying to convince him to go to his prom.
Jason never got over how he was treated by his classmates in
high school, and he began fantasizing about
enacting revenge on the next year’s senior prom. In addition to
continuing to write letters to Amelia, he
spent a lot of time following her on Facebook and Twitter. He
once received a response from Amelia Sloan
of an autographed photograph signed, “Jason, LOL, Amelia.”
Despite being disappointed, he felt that the
LOL was a genuine expression of her feelings and that if she
only met him in person she would realize how
the two were meant to be together. His growing feelings made
his desire for revenge even stronger. He
began to consider calling in a bomb threat to disrupt the prom
and then progressed to thinking about
actually bombing it. He even fantasized about saving Amelia
from the bomb explosion, if she were nearby.
He soon convinced himself that he needed to do more than
bomb the senior prom to get her attention.
However, as the date approached for the next year’s senior
prom, he became more depressed and
withdrawn and uncertain if the plan would succeed in winning

of them to appear to be folk heroes to all opponents of the
oppressive government.
He was diligent in his work with the limo service and soon
developed a reputation as a reliable and
courteous driver. He also tinkered with the cars and found ways
to readily disable the inside door handles
and locks without a trace of tampering. As the convention
approached, he suggested to his manager that
he would prefer to do airport runs since they were longer and
resulted in better tips. Based on his reputation
as a solid driver, his manager agreed.
Two nights before the start of the convention he had his chance.
He was called to pick up a party of four
from the airport and to shuttle them to a luxury hotel. He
assumed that if they were staying at such a hotel,
they would be with the Republican Party. Most of the rooms
were booked and it would be unlikely that this
group was not connected to the convention. Jason’s eagerness
increased when his manager coincidentally
indicated that this was a “special fare.”
When he picked up his passengers, he requested that they place
their electronic devices, including cell
phones, in a basket due to security at the hotel. He stated that
this would get them through processing
quickly and joked that they could keep their shoes on. The
passengers happily obliged and settled into the
limo. Jason engaged in small talk (e.g., “Are you here for the
convention? …I don’t follow politics much,
22. where are you from?”) with the group. The man who appeared
to be in charge boasted that he was a
senator and introduced the others as “supporters and delegates
who are about to decide the fate of the
nation.” Jason did not recognize the man. Still, he took him at
his word and mentioned that there was
complimentary champagne in the limo bar. Jason had supplied
complimentary champagne that he laced
with benzodiazepines (“roofies”). He then shut the privacy
partition and put on a pair of headphones. He
bobbed his head as if he was listening to music, but he was
actually eavesdropping on the conversation.
He was happy to see that three of them were drinking the
champagne, but noticed that one woman
appeared more focused on the trip. He continued along the
interstate while going past the exit that would
have taken them to the hotel. As Jason continued on the
highway, the attentive woman looked alarmed and
became agitated. Jason figured she probably thought she was
going to be excessively billed for an
unnecessarily long trip.
Immediately before Jason exited the interstate towards his
house, he removed the batteries from the cell
phones he collected, a skill he practiced so that he could
accomplish it with one hand. His plan was to keep
the hostages in the limo, securely parked in his garage. Before
he left the house, he set the thermostat to
68 degrees and opened the door going into the garage. He
reasoned that it would remain cool enough for
them to spend a day or two in the car. He also turned up the
stereo so neighbors would think he was “letting
loose” while his parents were out of town. He bought a freezer
full of frozen pizza that he would feed to the
hostages while they waited for Amelia.
