Psychological Disorders

The MacDonald triad, which consists of bedwetting, firesetting, and animal cruelty, is often associated with an increased risk of violent behavior. Its strength lies in identifying potential warning signs for violent tendencies, but weaknesses include its lack of specificity and the fact that not all individuals who exhibit these behaviors will become violent offenders.

It could be a chronophile (one who is obsessed about time).

There is no single reason for why serial killers commit their crimes, as motivations can vary widely. Factors that may contribute include childhood trauma, mental illness, a desire for power or control, and a lack of empathy or remorse. It is a complex combination of psychological, social, and environmental factors.

they may have wished that they had committed the crime, or are delusional and actually believe that they had. Others may admire the person who comited the crime and would like to take the recognition

Robert K. Merton's Strain Theory suggests that individuals may engage in criminal behavior due to the inability to achieve culturally valued goals (such as wealth or success) through legitimate means, leading to status frustration. This theory highlights the strain experienced when individuals feel disconnected from societal expectations and resort to criminal behavior as a response.

Someone who is obsessed with themselves is commonly referred to as narcissistic or self-absorbed.

There have never been solid numbers for the number of people with pedophilia, only estimates. While those estimates have indeed increased as we know more about pedophiles and pedophilia, that could be from a number of factors, making this question impossible to answer definitively.

There isn't necessarily a proven increase in pedophiles recently. However, increased awareness and reporting of these crimes, along with improved technology for detecting and tracking offenders, may give the impression of a rise in incidents. It's crucial to continue efforts in prevention, education, and support for victims.

Under US law, a person charged with a crime is considered innocent by the court until such a time that a case has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt against them (that's reasonable doubt, not beyond a shadow of a doubt). The case is currently being presented to a jury (May through July 2011 approximately) and the motive for the child's death may or may not be determined. Why the child died is not the matter being decided at trial, only if Casey Anthony deliberately or accidently, while commiting child abuse, killed her or not.

According to a jury of her peers, she was pronounced not guilty on July 5, 2011.

It is often said that power corrupts (and absolute power corrupts absolutely), but it would be more accurate to observe that all people have the capacity for corruption, which results from selfishness, a trait with which we are endowed by our biology. When corrupt people become powerful, their corruption has greater consequences than the corruption of the less powerful, and therefore is more noticeable.

You might say that the pressure of Darwinian evolution is not toward moral and well behaved people, but toward people who will survive and reproduce by whatever means they believe is necessary. For some people this involves corruption and evil.

Psychologists typically dress in professional attire, such as business casual or formal wear, depending on the setting. They should aim to appear approachable and respectful while also maintaining a sense of professionalism. It's important for psychologists to dress in a way that makes their clients feel comfortable and respected.

It all depends on how good he/she is. A good one can charge quite a bit per hour and see 8 to 12 customers per day, depending on how much time he/she wants to put in. $100.00 to $200.00 per hour isn't heard of if his/her customers believe he/she is worth it. Recognize that psychologists who work for themselves are subject to market forces and can only charge what people are willing to pay. If people don't think you're worth it and you end up being counselor to the homeless, you won't get much. If you end up being psychotherapist to the stars you can retire with one customer. On the other hand, if he/she ends up being a counselor at a prison or youth correctional facility, he/she will just get state pay scale which won't be that great to start.

Not all autistic people are non-verbal. Those who are non-verbal may have physical reasons why they cannot talk, but often it is because autistic people can struggle to go from thinking about talking to actually making themselves talk - some people can remain silent for decades, then suddenly talk.

Many girls and women with ADD/ADHD are often undiagnosed because their symptoms look different from those in boys or men. Many girls or women may not appear hyperactive. Girls are usually less rebellious, less defiant and generally considered less difficult than boys. Boys who are hyperactive and disorganized are easier to spot and more likely to be referred for an evaluation.

There are several personality types of girls in which ADHD could be a factor. For example, there are girls who are shy and withdrawn, but disorganized. There are girls who are "tomboys," who are drawn to risky activities. They may be cooperative at school and work hard to please parents and teachers, but are often disorganized and messy. There are "daydreamers" or girls who seem to listen to teachers in class, but be in another world. They may find their minds wandering, are forgetful and disorganized. They become very anxious, depressed, worried and overwhelmed when schoolwork is due. They often are thought to be less bright than they actually are. "Chatty" girls also have high activity levels, and are very talkative and emotional, but can be forgetful and disorganized. Highly intelligent girls, with above average IQs, who have increasing problems with concentration and organization as their school life becomes more demanding also may have ADHD.

Women with ADHD who complain of feeling overwhelmed and disorganized tend to be diagnosed more often with depression. These women often feel a powerful sense of shame and inadequacy. They oftentimes need to spend all of their waking energy just fighting their natural tendency to be disorganized. Sometimes, ADHD does not become a problem until a woman has a baby or a second baby, when she is expected to be highly organized, accomplishing multiple roles under a lot of strain as both a caregiver and, in many cases, a career woman.

In addition to the above, lots of popular media in our culture, like women's magazines often have articles about how women are supposed to be multi-taskers, and how all women have trouble keeping up with kids, home, work, etc. You see it in movies and TV shows, too.

This can prolong denial, and make it harder for women to get diagnosed.

Marriage, per se, does not cause any psychological disorder.
