00:00:01.851 --> 00:00:03.450
- So Christina Neuhaus actually simplifies

2
00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:05.772
this even more than John Moynahand did.

3
00:00:05.772 --> 00:00:08.452
And she presents three categories of risk.

4
00:00:08.452 --> 00:00:11.131
Individual clinical risk factors,

5
00:00:11.131 --> 00:00:13.692
so those can include a diagnosis,

6
00:00:13.692 --> 00:00:15.752
there are certainly more diagnoses

7
00:00:15.752 --> 00:00:17.171
that can increase your risk

8
00:00:17.171 --> 00:00:19.591
for being dangerous than others.

9
00:00:19.591 --> 00:00:21.531
Historical risk factors, again going back

10
00:00:21.531 --> 00:00:23.011
to what is your history?

11
00:00:23.011 --> 00:00:24.331
What have you already done?

12
00:00:24.331 --> 00:00:27.611
That's a good way to assess the future.

13
00:00:27.611 --> 00:00:28.951
But it's not foolproof.

14
00:00:28.951 --> 00:00:30.452
And then enviromental risk factors.

15
00:00:30.452 --> 00:00:32.012
So she basically just took the checklist

16
00:00:32.012 --> 00:00:33.452
that John came up with and just simplified

17
00:00:33.452 --> 00:00:34.931
it down to three things.

18
00:00:34.931 --> 00:00:36.571
So when you're working with individuals

19
00:00:36.571 --> 00:00:37.532
you really want to pay attention

20
00:00:37.532 --> 00:00:39.071
to these three categories.

21
00:00:39.071 --> 00:00:41.331
Think about where people are within this.

22
00:00:41.331 --> 00:00:42.771
Have that awareness, start to think about

23
00:00:42.771 --> 00:00:44.271
that from a safety perspective.

24
00:00:44.271 --> 00:00:46.511
Not only is it helpful for safety reasons,

25
00:00:46.511 --> 00:00:47.652
but it's also really helpful to any

26
00:00:47.652 --> 00:00:52.652
kind of assessments that you
guys are going to be writing.

27
00:00:52.671 --> 00:00:54.951
And then Robert Fine
developed the person situation

28
00:00:54.951 --> 00:00:58.781
environment theory of predicting
future violent behavior.

29
00:00:58.781 --> 00:01:00.171
This one is always interesting to me.

30
00:01:00.171 --> 00:01:01.691
What's the most interesting is the wording

31
00:01:01.691 --> 00:01:03.171
that he uses, but what he says is

32
00:01:03.171 --> 00:01:04.972
when a person experiences unbearable

33
00:01:04.972 --> 00:01:07.751
stress he or she has four choices.

34
00:01:07.751 --> 00:01:10.071
I think it's the word
choices that throws me.

35
00:01:10.071 --> 00:01:13.351
Because I wouldn't choose
any of those categories.

36
00:01:13.351 --> 00:01:14.831
But what he basically says is that

37
00:01:14.831 --> 00:01:16.812
you'll become physically ill,

38
00:01:16.812 --> 00:01:18.711
you'll become psychotic,

39
00:01:18.711 --> 00:01:20.611
you'll become violent to yourself,

40
00:01:20.611 --> 00:01:23.791
or you'll become violent to others.

41
00:01:23.791 --> 00:01:25.352
What he's not saying is that every

42
00:01:25.352 --> 00:01:27.651
single person that
experiences unbearable stress

43
00:01:27.651 --> 00:01:29.491
will do only one of those four things.

44
00:01:29.491 --> 00:01:31.291
So for those of you who have
unbearable stress right now,

45
00:01:31.291 --> 00:01:33.311
do not worry, that doesn't mean you're

46
00:01:33.311 --> 00:01:35.111
going to fall into one
of those categories.

47
00:01:35.111 --> 00:01:36.991
But you could.

48
00:01:36.991 --> 00:01:40.312
(laughing)

49
00:01:40.312 --> 00:01:41.691
I'm sorry Ms. Smith if you have

50
00:01:41.691 --> 00:01:43.312
students un-enroll after this.

51
00:01:43.312 --> 00:01:44.841
(laughing)
