- 소개/요약The question of whether a person is 'mad' or 'bad' is not a new one and has concerned thinkers, policy-makers, judges and doctors throughout history. This book explores the underlying differences and tensions in terms of the values, cultures and practices developed in the fields of counselling psychology and forensic psychology. It takes a closer look at how tensions related to the 'mad or bad?' debate surface in the practices at the interface of mental health and criminal justice—a working environment that has been described as among the most challenging for either set of professionals. It provides an overview of the history of the treatment of people with mental health issues and how this has changed to the present day, including the creation of mental health institutions and the development of new therapies. It explores and illustrates how in media portrayals or representations—in television and film fiction and news event reporting—the legal and medical construction of insanity as 'a defect of reason' which mitigates against punishment has created dynamic and compelling tensions in the space between 'mad' and 'bad', which are most often addressed by applying moral rules and understandings. The book then explores race in the context of mental health and the criminal justice system and the importance of gender in understanding and intervening as mental health professionals, working in criminal justice contexts. It then describes psychological interventions in the context of the risk of suicide and self-harm/injury, looking at practice implications of working with such risk, while additionally contextualising such behaviours within the medicalisation of human experience. The book finally explores possible factors, and preventative interventions that can help individuals avoid negative health outcomes and offending behaviour.
