The Criminalization of Persons With Mental Illness: Time for a New Welcoming
The Criminalization of Persons With Mental Illness : Time for a New Welcoming - Several years ago I received a call from friend, colleague and NSU Forensic Psychology Professor Lenore E. Walker. Lenore, best known as the mother of the Battered Woman Syndrome and theories behind the Cycle of Violence, asked if I would develop an inter-disciplinary course for a new graduate program (e.g., law, psychology and criminal justice). The topic: mental health courts, therapeutic justice and applied behavioral health strategies.
