Triogenesis of Extreme Hetero-Aggressive Behaviour in Psychiatric Forensic Expert Practice

Abstract

An individual's behavior can be defined as a set of complex reactions of the body to internal and external stimuli. Case description: We present a case of a young adult student who, under the circumstances of an anomic environment, causes a female person multiple stab wounds to the cervical region. The patient has an addiction to virtual reality, personal psychiatric history of a depressive disorder, emotional and anxious behavioral disorders, as he was a regular cannabis user. The young man was attending an event where he was consuming alcohol and banned substances (Ecstasy), whose effect combined with antidepressants creates a virtual reality in which the individual has a particular mental state, having the impression that bystanders want to hurt him. Under the impulse of this state, the individual uses a bladed weapon and causes multiple wounds to the victim. The patient is examined in the psychiatric forensic examination commission to determine the discernment at the time of the act of violence and for recommendations regarding safety measures. Conclusion: The approach of hetero-aggression behaviour is based on three categories of causal factors, in a triune concept that implies the consequence of the interaction of the existential environment, with the personality structure of the young individual and with the circumstantial factors that precipitate the act.

Violence on the front line: a qualitative comparative analysis of the causes of patient violence towards medical staff in China during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Patients’ experiences, perceptions, expectations, and evaluation of the healthcare services they receive are closely linked to their violence towards medical staff. Their behavior is always triggered by external stimuli (Bulle & Rode, 2018 ; Piraianu et al, 2021 ) which are workplace hazards, similar to risk of infection or slips and falls. In addition, external stimuli can be triggered by human interaction, such as verbal communication, physical contact, and conflicts.…”

Decoding the chemical clues: The role of advancements in forensic toxicology

“…Predictive modeling, pattern recognition, and automated data interpretation are poised to transform the efficiency and reliability of forensic analyses, enabling quicker and more precise insights into chemical clues. [28]…”

“…These tools can help forensic toxicologists identify hidden patterns, detect anomalies, and make more informed inferences from toxicological data. [1,28,16]…”

Explanatory Psychological Models of Obsessive Functioning: Systematic Review of Mancini’s Cognitive Model and Theoretical Review of Young’s Maladaptive Cognitive Schemas Model

“…Usually chronic (two-thirds of the cases become chronic) (Prelipceanu, 2018), with the onset between 11-28 years old and reported in studies within various countries as affecting 1.2% to 3% of the population (Abramowitz et al, 2017), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is often complicated by multiple first-axis comorbidities (major depression -in a third of the cases, Tourette syndrome, specific phobias, panic disorder, generalised anxiety, eating disorders, schizophrenia) or second-axis comorbidities (avoidant, dependent, borderline, obsessive-compulsive, passive-aggressive, histrionic personality disorder) (Izzat et al, 2021;Piraianu et al, 2021;Prelipceanu, 2018). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) defines OCD by the presence of obsessions, compulsions, or both.…”
