Well, In the Kenya setting, especially recently mass murders have a terrorism angle to them.... We do however have murders that even though singular, (not mass) are as a result of mental illness in the perpetrator.... <br />Early diagnosis and in essence mental health literacy would be the way to go. While we can to some level predict dangerousness, we cannot on the other hand guarantee it. We would be forcefully administering care in general but not with the angle to prevent murder, but get the person well....<br />Will look out for the book "Commited"<br /><br />http://psychiatry.uonbi.ac.ke/Judy Kamauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02839071947184397037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-49914155942315385272017-01-18T21:01:25.479-05:002017-01-18T21:01:25.479-05:00This one is muddled, but, I see much irony in the ...This one is muddled, but, I see much irony in the story line from "The Dark Knight" how the Joker used the mentally ill to be his henchmen, and now we see the reality of ISIS seeing this population as a resource as well.<br /><br />Comes back to what I have been preaching for years, and lately with my work in State facilities, letting the antisocials be entrenched on units only aids and abets the personality disordered who have no interest in care or change.<br /><br />Psychiatry better wise up to a much higher level than we think we are operating these days. The question for me is simple, when are we going to stop being pawns and instead being tough and committed advocates who know better, and do better!?<br /><br />What does the Cuban contact in "Die Another Day" say to Brosnan's Bond when Bond tells him he is after a terrorist? <b>"One man's terrorist is another one's freedom fighter".</b><br /><br />I guess we have to figure out who is the terrorist versus freedom fighter...<br /><br />Perspective is often jaded though, eh?<br /><br />Joel Hassman, MDJoel Hassman, MDhttps://therapyfirst.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
