Psychiatrist

Psychiatry is a type of science that involves mental illnesses and diagnosing the patient's’ mental, and sometimes physical, health. Psychiatrists are doctors that are trained to diagnose mental illnesses, and spot mental, emotional and behavioral symptoms. They work with their patients, listening to their stories, and performing tests in order to find out what, if any, mental illnesses or cognitive disorders. The median annual salary for a psychiatrist is around $200,000.

There often limited opportunities for intervention before the fact (Markowitz, 2011). Because of this some offenders tend towards homelessness and crimes of survival such as shoplifting and trespassing, some committing these non-violent crimes as a way of seeking intervention they would not otherwise have access to (Hinday, 1997). Symptoms of mental illness include; impulsivity and impaired judgment and can cause already hotheaded youths to act in antisocial ways (Hinday, 1997).

Mental disorders affect many people throughout the United States. Although it is not a direct link to criminal behavior, it is a major risk factor and oftentimes criminal offenders are found to have them. Mental disorders cause their victims delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, and aggression. The definition of mental disorder is a vast number of mental conditions, ranging from the mild to the serious that impede one’s ability to function. Sometimes with the more serious disorders may absolve an individual of criminal responsibility (Bartol, A & Bartol, C, 2014). There are several different kinds of mental disorders including but not limited to schizophrenia, psychopathy, depressive disorders, and antisocial personality disorder (Bartol, A & Bartol, C, 2014). In this paper, each different kind of mental disorder will be discussed along with the discussing the fallacy of the public believing that many people get off with the not guilty by reason of insanity plea. It is hypothesized that individuals who display mental disorders are at a greater risk to commit criminal offenses. The literature reviews that follow describe each type of mental disorder and types of crime as a result of them. They will also describe the not guilty by reason of insanity plea.

Juvenile delinquency is very prevalent especially among adolescents because studies have shown that during the time of adolescence that is when delinquency tends to increase and once adolescence has passed at about 17 years of age then it tends to decrease (Adolescent Delinquency, 2002). There are many factors that can contribute to the increase of delinquency during adolescence, some of the factors can be personality, mental disorders, genetics, economic status, environment, family, and culture among others, also to understand better the causes of juvenile delinquency the social control theory is the best theory to explain juvenile delinquency as a whole (Adolescent Delinquency, 2002).

Delinquency is a learned behavior and is learned in the same way we learn everything else. It is learning through social interactions with others in your close personal groups. When the groups that you are a part of participate in delinquent behavior that individual is more likely to learn and engage in that delinquent behavior. Not only are you learning how to be delinquent or the techniques that go along with this deviant behavior, one also learns the motivation behind this behavior. When you learn and identify with these motivations you 're a lot more likely to

The Criminal Justice System is inclined to incarcerate drug offenders with mental illnesses rather than provide treatment which is causing overcrowding in our prisons resulting in more violence within correction system. In this research we will examine the current screening, counseling and treatment that is provide while being incarcerated to drug offenders with mental illnesses. We will also explore options to identify these drug offenders to receive proper treatment in the place of incarceration. We will briefly identify three criminological theories and how they are connected to our topic. This research is not to sway anyone to think

The article “Mental Illness and Violence” talks about criminals that are violence and what factors play a large roll in a persons actions and behavior. The factors that contribute to a person being violent come down to background, emotions, and if they choose to use substances.

There is one condition that frequently co-exists with juvenile delinquency about which a great deal is known. And that is mental health disorders (Underwood & Washington, 2016). It is known, for instance, that the prevalence rate of youth in the juvenile justice system with mental disorders is generally higher than those youth in the general population of adolescents (Grisso & Barnumn, 2000). It is estimated that 50 to 75 percent of the nearly two million youth who enter the juvenile justice system each year meet the criteria for a mental health disorder (Wald & Losen, 2003; Teplin, Abram, et al., 2002; Grande, Hallman, et al., 2012; Gottsman & Schwarz, 2011; King, Abram, et al., 2011). Furthermore, approximately 40 to 80 percent of incarcerated

Psychological theories recognize the effect of an individual’s experience, especially in early childhood, and environmental factors that may trigger criminal behavior, but they propose abnormal personality type/traits or emotional maladjustments as the primary causes of crime Akers et al., (2013). Psychological theorists believed that behavior, criminal or non-criminal is not related to one’s biological make up. According to Kate Friedlander (1947), classical Freudian psychoanalytic explanations of delinquency focus on abnormalities or disturbances in the individual’s emotion development from early childhood Akers et al., (2013). In terms of mental health, to better understand this theory, psychological theories are perceived could influence beliefs of patients and non-patients alike in terms of factors such as stigmatization, beliefs about the outcome of treatment, motivation, pessimism and so on.

Thank you for offering me the position of Logistics Coordinator, it is much appreciated. I appreciate being a member of the ActionNet team. Over the course of twelve years have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge about our clients, and have worked steadfastly to ensure their satisfaction. However, after much deliberation, I have decided to decline ActionNet's offer to assume this role of Logistics Coordinator. While it is a difficult decision and one that I do not make lightly, I strongly believe that my decision is in the best interest to not only me, but for the benefit of the organization as well.

In addition, I will include antisocial behavior counseling that involves being peer pressured and attachment to peers. For this counseling session, parents and delinquents are both going to participate. Thus, counselors will gain a better understanding of the family structure and delinquent’s peers. During this counseling section, counselors will pay attention to their body language, how they interact with one and another, and any disagreements. Similarly, to the educational counseling, counselors are going to first conduct an interview with the consent of using a tape recorder. After the interview is completed, counselors are going to spend at least 30 minutes to discuss about the delinquent’s peers such as, have you ever experienced being

When contemplating suicide, seeking out help from a trained professional, like a psychiatrist, would be one of the safest, and probably best idea. A psychiatrist, trained to diagnose and treat mental illnesses, would help by showing the light, the reason to live, and prescribing medication that would help keep the internal demons quiet, allowing the person who was contemplating suicide to go on living their life, fully and happily. Luckily for the protagonist in Morris Panych’s 7 Stories play, Man, he meets Leonard, a psychiatrist, while standing on the ledge of a seventh floor apartment building, poised to jump. Unfortunately for Man, Leonard is not the best psychiatrist. Through Leonard’s speech it is revealed that Leonard is a psychiatrist, and that he hates the mentally ill. Leonard talks about working nights at the “loony bin” and then running a private practice in the mornings. Leonard claims that he has not slept in three years, and does not care since he believes that his patients do not even notice since they are so drugged up they sleep all day anyway. This speech from Leonard acts as a foreshadowing for the rest of the play, as it shows how self-absorbed all the characters in this apartment are. Leonard’s speech also affects the plot of the play by being one of the first characters to show off the over-arching theme of the play, that life, daily routines, and relationships are ultimately meaningless, Leonard specifically showcases that life means nothing through

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) treatment is a cognitive-behavioral approach that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of treatment. The theory behind the approach is that some people are prone to react in a more intense and out-of-the-ordinary manner toward certain emotional situations, primarily those found in romantic, family and friend relationships. DBT theory suggests that some people’s arousal levels in such situations can increase far more quickly than the average person’s, attain a higher level of emotional stimulation, and take a significant amount of time to return to baseline arousal levels. (Staff, 2013) People who are sometimes diagnosed with borderline personality disorder experience extreme swings in their emotions, see the world in black-and-white shades, and seem to always be jumping from one crisis to another. Because few people understand such reactions — most of all their own family and a childhood that emphasized invalidation — they don’t have any methods for coping with these sudden, intense
