YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS

[HapSmo19]

I AM a behavioral psychologist with almost 30 yrs of clinical work...

Interesting. I'm just curious of the number of prescriptions for speed and other toxic drugs you've peeled off for children in that amount of time.

...and a wee bit of published research out there (NO I won't tell you what articles. I'm smart enough not to let John Q NetNut know who I am),...

Convienient. You really stand behind your work I take it.

I had an article published in ICE about contradicting theories tfor urban development.
Can we argue about the pro`s and con of building on green sites and constructing a ring-road with good acsess to of transport systems around wicked?
All this medical jargon hurts my brain

sounds wonderful...please explain...

[Lazy_Pilgrim]

ok well basically to ensure the sustainable growth of wicked she will need good transport links for commerce, good food supplies for example. However building a direct road into wicked may cause a serise of problems both for local people and anywildelife living in the area.
The areas around wicked would need to be properly surveyed and soil tested to gadge which direction she is most likely to grow in and plan accordiningly.
Also education, sporting factlities and healthcare services should be constructed in pre-designated areas to keep the population of wicked happy,health and with good aspirations for future development.
Finally any local governing facilities such as council offices, police/fire stations should be spread evenly where possable to quick respons times wicked wide. Both to make wicked feel comfortable, secure and in a good mood.

Or just hired an over-paid idiot has no clue for london. Never visited the site and who eventually quits half way through the project and still gets paid

Apologies. I should have posted sooner - namely before the last three posts.
This thread split from Regarding wicked (part 2) in General Discussion since it is now permanently off topic.

I think we all need to come to terms with the fact that wicked is a victim and she may have been a disgusting example of a mod for this site, and of a person in general, but it was all because of her sickness.

I am sure that since she has recovered, she's been acting like a fine upstanding citizen. And wouldn't that be her true nature?

[jbrettlip]

Sorry 'bout ruining the fun, but needed to clarify the situation...glad your liking limes now more than the vodka - they're better for 'ya!

Limes cures what ails me....a few limes, and the worst mod just disappeared!!

merging with another topic guys

[The Chosen One]

I find the trend of the later posts that stick up for Lack and recognize Wicked for the menace she is (not was) refreshing.

For those that made light of my post characterizering her behavior as symptomatic of a personality disorder ... don't take my word for it. I refer you to the following information, which you can compare directly to Wicked's observed behavior:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder

The particular personailty disorder I believe she suffered from is labeled as Histrionic personality disorder

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histrionic ... y_disorder

At least, I hope that last is the extent of her personality disorder, as it suggests there are limits to her destructive capacity then.

General Quigley you are either Twill or a totally arrogant mislead psuedo-intellectual. I AM a behavioral psychologist with almost 30 yrs of clinical work and a wee bit of published research out there (NO I won't tell you what articles. I'm smart enough not to let John Q NetNut know who I am), and your "formal study of psychology" has taught you NOTHING but an irrational, egotistical
sense of your own abilities. One might suppose based on your posts that you suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder or have SchizoAffective Disorder with delusions of grandeur. Lyme's Disease is a potentially deadly disease when left untreated for so long and it is one of the r/o (rule out) diagnosis for multiple sclerosis among other neurological syndromes/diseases. Go "formally" study that for awhile.....TCO

Wait a second, weren't you a lawyer the other day? Now that your little employee rights thread failed you're the psychologist all of a sudden, how cute. If there's one John Q. NetNut roaming this site, it's you.

No butthead I said that stuff ticked off the ADVOCATE in me...in the health care field, particularly in mental health a person better know their legal stuff as well when it comes to supporting the people we are there to serve..things like ADA, HIPAA, the Rehab Act of 1967 & 1974, employment and housing (ever heard of HUD) laws, etc... Never said I was an attorney, that was just an assumption on your part which makes you look really stupid by trying to be cute. Wikipedia the meaning of advocate...it means 'being a voice for' among other things.

[The Chosen One]

oh another thing butthead if you live in the USA, there is a federal law which mandates each state provide a "protection and advocacy" organization for people with disabilities, with the emphasis being on people with developmental and mental health disabilites. There are two basic types of Advocates...the LEGAL Advocate (aka attorney/lawyer) who does the in-court battles and the Investigative Advocates who do the front line investigations and refers their findings to law enforcement (local, state or federal), Dept of Social Services, the state and federal Center for Medicaid/Medicare Services, HUD, OSHA and on and on ad nauseum. Then there are those of us who in addition to that also do what is commonly referred to as "profiling" but is really technically known as "behavioral risk assessment and analysis" for a wide variety of clientele/patients/staff/...you understand now that you have no clue?

Forensic psychology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


......
As a result of Ford v. Wainwright, a case by a Florida inmate on death row that was brought before the Supreme Court of the United States, forensic psychologists are appointed to assess the competency of an inmate to be executed in death penalty cases.[18][19][20]

[edit] Sanity evaluations..........


[edit] Other evaluations

Forensic psychologists are frequently asked to make an assessment of an individual's dangerousness or risk of re-offending. They may provide information and recommendations necessary for sentencing purposes, grants of probation, and the formulation of conditions of parole, which often involves an assessment of the offender's ability to be rehabilitated. They are also asked questions of witness credibility and malingering.[14] Occasionally, they may also provide criminal profiles to law enforcement.[23][24][25]

Due to the Supreme Court decision upholding involuntary commitment laws for preditory sex offenders in Kansas v. Hendricks, it is likely that forensic psychologists will become involved in making recommendations in individual cases of end-of-sentence civil commitment decisions.

[edit] Ethical implications

A forensic (or behavioral) psychologist generally practices within the confines of the courtroom, incarceration facilities, and other legal setting. It is important to remember that the forensic psychologist is equally likely to be testifying for the prosecution as for the defense attorney. A forensic psychologist does not take a side, as do the psychologists described below.[26] The ethical standards for a forensic psychologist differ from those of a clinical psychologist or other practicing psychologist .[8] Furthermore, the interview techniques differ from those typical of a clinical psychologist and require an understanding of the criminal mind and criminal and violent behavior.[28] ....

In addition, the forensic psychologist deals with a range of clients unlike those of the average practicing psychology. Because the client base is by and large criminal, the forensic psychologist is immersed in an abnormal world.[30] As such, the population evaluated by the forensic psychologist is heavily weighted with specific personality disorders.[31][32][33]

I do stand behind my work...Still I'm wise enough not to let you bait me into revealing who I am. If you're interested and have the smarts there's a real slim chance you may be able to intuit which of those listed above I either "first authored" or contributed too...but I seriously doubt it... TCO

You're confused. I really don't care who you are.

If you posted it I'd probably read it but, a scavenger hunt for what is sure to be a sleeping pill isn't my idea of a good time.

lol...glad to know that hapsmo...so why the insult to begin with?
