Mental Health Courts The mental state of a person is critical in determining the likelihood of deviant behavior in an individual. People with mental instability are more likely to be involved in criminal behavior. This implies that there is a higher likelihood for mentally unstable people to be incarcerated in comparison to their mentally stable counterparts. Sending a mentally sick person to jail does not help in achieving the goals of the criminal justice system; to rehabilitate criminals. This has created the need for countries to devise ways of ensuring that mentally ill people are treated and rehabilitated while serving their sentences. Countries, such as the United States, have adopted the use of mental courts in rehabilitating mentally ill offenders (Snedker, 2018). There are several reasons that have accounted for the emergence of mental courts. The leading factors are the need to reduce overcrowding in local prisons and the presence of drug courts. Often, mentally ill offenders have a history of involvement in drug abuse. The need to rehabilitate offenders in drug courts has given rise to the need for…

In particular, leadership includes features that are not the same as those needed in management. However, the two roles require a person to exhibit important characteristics to be competent. Besides, a person may be a manager and a leader at the same time. Personal Vs. Supervisor’s Roles Reflecting on my current role in my workplace, I perform leadership responsibilities.

The narrative family therapy The narrative family therapy adopts a psychiatric context that is founded on two key hypotheses. Families are always affected when a child succumbs to a mental disease. The impact is ordinarily such that the whole family requires psychiatric help. A necessary component in implementing the therapy is that the parents need to master and comprehend their child’s mental disease to effectively contribute to treatment. The narrative therapy, which was propounded by Michael White and David Epston, does not directly focus on mitigating symptoms but rather addressing a person’s attitude towards the problem and changing their story about the problem faced. The crucial outcome expected is that a patient needs to experience a greater sense of responsibility towards improving their inclination towards the primary problem from one of negativity to positivity. As a therapist seeking to utilize this approach, one needs to take into account that people’s historical background shapes their lives and identity in society. The Client seeking treatment in this case is a family of three that is a father, mother, and daughter who is…

forensic psychology in the legal world The advent of forensic psychology in the legal world is changing the criminal justice system at an astounding pace. The criminal justice system has undergone various changes in recent years, which are not limited to juvenile codes, probation, sentencing statutes, and parole policies.

Should Doctors Advice Patients to Switch to E-cigarettes? Introduction Electronic cigarettes (henceforth referred to as e-cigarettes or e-cigars) have been proposed and supported by ethicists, healthcare experts, policymakers, social workers, and the public in general as effective remedies to combat traditional cigarette smoking and its associated health and social problems. Health experts cite the health benefits of non-combustible e-cigarettes in eliminating toxins associated with the combustion of traditional cigarettes. Similarly, utilitarian ethicists cite e-cigarettes benefits in cutting down healthcare costs associated with the multitude of health and social problems associated with traditional cigarette smoking. Some policymakers and general public concur with utilitarian ethicists in supporting e-cigarette as a feasible means of plugging healthcare budget deficit (Fairchild et al. 216). Despite realist benefits of e-cigarette in mitigating health and social problems associated with cigarette smoking and in control of healthcare budget deficits, evidence-based research and randomly controlled trials reveal similar cytotoxicity threat of e-cigarettes to human health as that posed by traditional cigarette smoking. In particular, random controlled studies of e-cigarette smokers’ vis-à-vis traditional cigarette smokers reveal almost similar cytotoxins delivery…
