We probably all know people who seem out of touch with their emotions. We may suspect that they are distressed, but typically they say that they feel fine emotionally.
I&#8217;m not talking about people with social anxiety issues or stoicism who hold back their feelings and simply need to learn to express them. I&#8217;m referring to [...]]]></description>

Medical training is filled with many memorable moments, some of which we probably wish had never happened.
In academic medical centers, med students are at the very bottom of the hierarchy. (In this case you&#8217;ll see that I was indeed literally at the &#8220;bottom.&#8221;) Therefore, if there is any &#8220;scut work&#8221; to be done, the buck [...]]]></description>

In 1971 a psychology experiment at Stanford University occurred that would be considered too unethical to conduct today. It was supposed to last 2 weeks, but it got out of hand and was stopped after only 6 days. The &#8220;prison guards&#8221; exhibited very demeaning and even sadistic behaviors. The &#8220;prisoners&#8221; eventually became very inhibited and [...]]]></description>

The relationship between a psychiatrist and patient must be different from that between two friends. Friends share problems and concerns with each other because of the mutual give-and-take foundation on which friendships are based.
A psychiatrist-patient relationship is very different. A patient comes to and pays a psychiatrist for professional services. While a psychiatrist is probably [...]]]></description>

Can you imagine doctors referring to patients as idiots, morons, or imbeciles? And, doing so not because of disliking their patients but as actual diagnostic labels?
It is difficult to conceive, but just a few decades ago the use of these particular terms was completely acceptable. Each was used to describe individuals with varying degrees of [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s probably happened to all health care professionals at some point: Patients, especially those considered &#8220;difficult&#8221; for some reason, fail to improve despite our best efforts. Eventually we become frustrated enough that we then blame them for their lack of progress.
There are endless possible scenarios where this might occur:

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and psychopathy have similarities, and there is overlap between the two diagnoses, but the diagnosis of each of the two conditions is made differently.
Before I describe these two conditions, I want to clarify the terminology further.
In psychiatric language, ASPD, or describing a patient as &#8220;antisocial,&#8221; has nothing to do with whether [...]]]></description>

The below YouTube video is a decent overview of how, since the deinstitutionalization movement of the 70&#8217;s, the prisons and jails in the U.S. have been housing a large percentage of people who previously would have been in mental insitutions. It explains some of the challenges of providing mental health treatment behind bars. What it [...]]]></description>

As correctional health care professionals, there may be times when we are tempted to conduct ourselves in a less than professional manner simply because we can.
We may be able to get away with speaking to our patients rudely, using profanity profusely, or wearing inappropriate clothing. After all, we work in jails and prisons. This culture [...]]]></description>
