I speak with Leora Joseph, mother of three, wife and career prosecutor who oversees the Colorado Office of Civil and Forensic Mental Health.  Leora has been the Chief of Staff in the Colorado Attorney General's office, managing attorney and law enforcement teams, special victim's, and human trafficking units and she has worked with over 1,000 victims of sexual abuse, and sex trafficking.  Her experiences helped her identify gaps within the legal and criminal justice systems where limited access to mental healthcare and stigma often trap those needing care within a loop of prosecution and incarceration.  Leora is subsequently running for office as Denver's District Attorney with a vision of balancing treatment for chronic mental illness with victim's advocacy, restorative justice and public awareness to help improve a complex legal system. We discuss the challenges facing healthcare and law enforcement amidst the current mental health crisis and the imperative of maintaining compassion, perspective and gratitude to continue the work of service.

True crime TV shows, podcasts, and books love to explore the minds of serial killers. To perform such heinous acts a person must be “insane,” “crazy,” and “mentally unstable.” Over time, the “schizophrenic serial killer” became the monster behind many of these crimes. But is it true? Where did the stereotype of serial killers having schizophrenia come from? When was schizophrenia first considered to be a violent mental illness? What's the truth to the myth of the schizophrenic serial killer? In this episode of Inside Schizophrenia, host Rachel Star Withers, a diagnosed schizophrenic, and co-host Gabe Howard track down when schizophrenia first became associated with violence and how the myth grew.  They are joined by guest Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess, a pioneer in the assessment and treatment of victims of trauma and abuse who helped shape the FBI's behavioral analysis methods in her prolific study of the criminal mind. Warning: this episode of Inside Schizophrenia contains graphic content and offensive language about people with schizophrenia that some may find upsetting.

Her courtroom testimony has been described as “groundbreaking,” and she has been called a “nursing pathfinder.” Her research with victims began when she co-founded, with Boston College sociologist Lynda Lytle Holmstrom, one of the first hospital-based crisis counseling programs at Boston City Hospital. She then worked with FBI Academy special agents to study serial offenders, and the links between child abuse, juvenile delinquency, and subsequent perpetration. Her work with Boston College nursing colleague Carol Hartman led to the study of very young victims and the impact of trauma on their growth and development, their families and communities.

In this podcast, Chris and John share the ideas presented in their recent book, which examines how trauma and marginalization are produced and perpetuated by in-group and out-group dynamics. They turn questions upside down, making us think differently about social problems. When asked how to help the homeless, they return the question in a different way, asking how the ‘we' of ‘housed' in groups cause people to be psycho-socially 'unhoused', revealing how we are all implicated in the trauma of others. The hundreds of migrants who die at sea are not poor neutral victims, but those we have unhoused and displaced through wars, colonialism and neo-liberal capitalist economics.   They invite us to make use of their "Diogenes Paradigm", drawing on the story of the ancient street philosopher to highlight questions of power and authority; they re-tell the story of how Alexander the Great asked Diogenes, who lived in a barrel with his dogs, whether he could do anything for him. Diogenes replied: “Yes, you can move as you are blocking the sunlight”. This Diogenes Paradigm allows us to explore power dynamics between systems of care and excluded out-groups, from housing policies in London or the UK prison system at the micro level to the broader issues of human mobility, the "might" of empires, and the climate disaster that threatens us all.  Enjoy this thought-provoking podcast that asks important questions for our times.  Bios Chris and John have been writing and teaching together for two decades. Their recent co-authored book "Psychosocial explorations of trauma, exclusion and violence: Un-housed minds and inhospitable environments" was published by Routledge in 2022:  https://www.routledge.com/Psycho-social-Explorations-of-Trauma-Exclusion-and-Violence-Un-housed/Scanlon-Adlam/p/book/9780367893316 Dr Chris Scanlon (DPhil) is an independent psycho-social Researcher/Consultant, Training Group Analyst at the Institute of Group Analysis (UK) and at the Irish Group Analytic Society (Dublin), associate lecturer on the Integrated Professional Doctorate (IPD) programme Tavistock Centre/University of Essex and is a founder member and board member of the Association for Psychosocial Studies (APS).

Welcome to episode 109 [originally broadcast on Wednesday 14 December 2022] of #mhTV​​​​​​​​. This week Nicky Lambert and David Munday spoke with guests, student nurses, Bryony Prentice & Tanisha Ruby Wynter. BP - My name is Bryony and I am currently studying Mental Health Nursing through the degree apprenticeship with Canterbury Christ Church University. I started working in Forensic Mental Health in 2016. I have experience in an inpatient setting where I worked as a Lead Healthcare Worker, and I currently work for Forensic Community Services as a Senior Support Time and Recovery Worker; this is my base job role whilst I am on the nursing apprenticeship. TRW - I am a third-year mental health nursing student. I came into my course straight from completing my A-levels. I am the youngest student on my course. I wanted to work in mental health from a young age, but I never knew it would be nursing. It wasn't until my grandad was ill and I saw how nurses treated him that I decided to investigate nursing and saw mental health nursing, it was the perfect combination really. My future ambitions are to firstly finish up my mental health nursing course, and then I'd love to work as a forensic mental health nurse or in children's mental health service (CAHMS). I would also love to do a masters, but I will see where life takes me!

The execution of individuals with mental disorder is prohibited by international law, such that the presence of mental disorder, and how it is dealt with during the investigatory or trial and sentencing process, may render a conviction legally unsafe.  Although legal principles designed to protect those with mental disorder from the death penalty are not in dispute, for them to operate mental health professionals must be both equipped with relevant clinico-ethico-legal expertise and be prepared to engage in the process. Engaging in such cases represents the most extreme focus of the usual clinical, legal and ethical issues involved in all evaluations for criminal courts. Crucial to not avoiding engagement in such cases must be the recognition that they do not raise ‘different' issues for forensic practitioners but merely offer extreme representations of those issues.  Dr Jay Sarkar is a Consultant with Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health, Forensicare and Spectrum Personality Disorder Service, Melbourne. He was previously an Adjunct Assistant Professor in Singapore. He has a particular interest in capital cases and provided expert testimony in over 100 cases and counting. His testimony has helped prevent deaths of many. Dr Danny Sullivan is a UK and Australian-trained forensic psychiatrist, currently Executive Director of Clinical Services of Forensicare, the statewide Victorian forensic mental health service. He has provided expert evidence in criminal matters in may jurisdictions for 20 years.

Welcome to OT Uncorked where we uncork hot topics in occupational therapy with a bottle of wine. In this episode, I interviewed Karena Skibinski, who you may know from instagram or as the host of the What about the Mama podcast. We talk about her work as an OT in a state hospital supporting people who are connected with the justice system. She talks about what it’s like to work in a forensic setting and we also touch on what OTs from all settings can learn from this practice area.

In 2018 the Australian Human Rights Commission stated that the trend towards incarceration saw a 77% increase of women in prison, with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women making up the majority of this increase. Indigenous women and girls are the fastest growing group of people being incarcerated in 'Australia'. Approximately 90% of women in prison are mothers, and the majority of these mothers are single parents. Statistics also stated that almost 1 in 50 women reported being pregnant while in prison.In this episode of Pregnancy Birth and Beyond, presenter Kirilly Dawn speaks with Debbie Kilroy OAM, founder of Sisters Inside, about the targeted impact of the Prison Industrial Complex on mothers, women and girls. Debbie is one of Australia’s leading advocates for protecting the human rights of women and children through decarceration - the process of moving away from using prisons and other systems of social control in response to crime and social issues. In this conversation, Debbie discusses why she is a prison abolitionist, why she started Sisters Inside after her own experience of prison, and the justice a world without prisons would provide. She unravels the racial capitalist system which is responsible for the alarmingly yet strategically high incarceration rates of women, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls. We also speak about reproductive justice, maternity care inside, and the realities many women face when being pregnant and birthing in prison. And lastly Debbie speaks to the Free Her campaign run by Sisters Inside, which has now raised over a million dollars to pay off the fines of women in Western Australia who are being incarcerated for poverty, many of whom are Aboriginal women.
Debbie Kilroy OAMDebbie’s passion for justice is the result of her personal experience of the criminal (in)justice system and an unwavering belief that prison represents a failure of justice. During her time in prison, Debbie worked hard for a degree in Social Work and took on the huge task of turning her life around. Since then, she has qualified as a Gestalt Therapist and Legal Practitioner, and has completed a Graduate Diploma of Forensic Mental Health.After her release in 1992, Debbie established Sisters Inside, which advocates for the human rights of women in the criminal justice system and responds to gaps in the services available to them. Sisters Inside has won international recognition for its work and its unique structure which ensures it is driven by women with lived prison experience.In 2003, Debbie was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to the community for working with women in prison. She was also awarded the Australian Human Rights Medal in 2004 and a Churchill Fellowship to explore decarceration strategies and programs internationally in 2014. In 2017, Debbie was appointed to the Queensland Government Sentencing Advisory Council. Debbie was admitted to the legal profession by the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2007 – a rare achievement for someone with serious convictions. She now has her own law firm and (in addition to her work as CEO of Sisters Inside) is one of Queensland’s leading criminal solicitors.To read more about Debbie and her work at Sisters Inside visit:www.sistersinside.com.auTo donate to Sister's Inside 'Free Her' campaign assisting women in Western Australia visit:https://www.gofundme.com/f/bfvnvt-freethepeople

This is a really special episode because it features Dr. Kristen Zaleski, our second-ever expert witness. Dr. Zaleski is a Los-Angeles based Psychotherapist, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Professor at the Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work at the University of Southern California.

Some other resources mentioned throughout the interview include the UCLA Rape Treatment Center and an organization called End Technology Abuse, or EndTAB.Org. Finally, although not mentioned during our interview, you may be interested in reading about the Keck Human Rights Clinic, where Dr. Zaleski works as the Director of Forensic Mental Health.

How easy is it to fake mental illness when you are facing the death penalty? How about when you are applying for disability or suing someone for emotional distress? Psychologists call this malingering and it’s something every forensic psychologist has to consider when money or freedom is on the line. In this episode of Thread of Evidence, Dr. Joni Johnston interviews Dr. Barry Rosenfeld, a board certified forensic psychologist who talks about how often mental illnesses are faked and how forensic psychologists tell the difference between genuine symptoms and faked ones. Dr. Barry Rosenfeld is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Psychology and an Adjunct Professor of Law at Fordham University. He worked for several years as Senior Psychologist for the New York and is Past President of the International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services as well as the former Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Forensic Mental Health. Dr. Rosenfeld is board certified in forensic psychology and maintains an active practice in forensic consultation. He has evaluated multiple individuals detained in the infamous Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay military prisons, consulted to a U.N. War Tribunal regarding the prosecution of Serbian individuals accused of war crimes, and evaluated litigants in a class action lawsuit against the government of India. He has testified in many high-profile domestic cases, including U.S. v. Osama Bin Laden (involving alleged Al Qaeda members convicted of blowing up the U.S. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya).
