Psychology

Individuals suffering from psychological health issues were normally accommodated inside psychiatric institutes but at the present, within the United States, they are more and more being detained in prison. If reality, one out of each 10 patients are at present accommodated behind bars with the common prisoner populace, which currently represents more than an approximated 500 000 of those detained around the state. The New Asylum movie is a one hour movie which is set in Ohio prison system where an approximated 16 of prisoners are psychologically ill and need special services like medicine and follow- up that a good number of facilities within the prison are not constructed to offer. Patients therefore have turned out to be delusional, dejected, and desperate owing to being housed within a jail facility. (Weckowicz, T, E, 1984)

The most upsetting thing I have learned from watching this video is that jails have turned out to be the latest state psychological health facilities since health amenities were methodically shutdown owing to policy alterations and budget cuts. As a matter of fact, detention centers are constructed to offer refuge and protection for the neighboring inhabitants, not psychological health services. It is more shocking to discover that an approximated two million inhabitants are imprisoned within the United States, of which a quarter of them have psychological problems. (Weckowicz, T, E, 1984)

Persons suffering from mental health issues require special services like remedy and follow- up which can be effectively provided in psychiatric institutes where the patients are attended to by clinical psychologists, psychiatric specialists, in addition to social workers. These specialists assemble information through such techniques like case studies, individuality and aptitude tests, as well as experimentation. They bring into play certain abnormal psychology theories which explain psychological diseases, propose probable causes of these sicknesses, and recommend certain ways of treating them. These theories can be split into the following four major groups (Weckowicz, T, E, 1984)

(1) Existential stresses the significance of up-to-date experiences and the
individuals outlook of herself or himself.
(2) Intrapsychic focuses on the emotional foundation of abnormal demeanor.
(3) Biophysical emphasizes the significance of causal physical origins of
mental disorders.
(4) BehavioralEmphasizes the effects of learning on demeanor.

The fact that, psychologically ill prisoners have a high rate of coming back following parole since they time and again discontinue taking their medicine, thinking they do not require it any longer and are healed and that a number of prisoners suppose jail makes their situation better relates to some observation I have made. I have observed that a number of young men with mental disorders in my neighborhood have been dubbed prison lovers because their entire life evolves from going in prison at one moment and getting out at another.
