I think there are a couple of things going on here. First, she HAS NO "personality " of her own. She is a socio/psychopath, void of feelings, emotions and real reactions. Her frame of reference is only from those with whom she interacts in prison (and she has been there for 5 years).
Her female defense attorney, with whom she spends a lot of time is very easy for her to mimic. She is bright enough to realize that this "professional" person is someone she can try and measure up to. As well, she and Samuels have spent many hours together, and she can gather a lot of psycho babble in this way, and KNOW what defense mechanisms/ behaviors (excuses) he will try to define in her, ahead of time. She has had a good long time to practice and learn all of this gobldygook in her brain. MOO
Honestly, I can't imagine why on earth they put this guy on the stand. If anything it seriously hurts their client. .
:what: No is there a link where we can watch?Holly Carp. Did you see Mike reenact the crime on HLN? Does anyone have that video? It's pretty accurate and at a frantic pace. First time I have seen this done.
I have never heard this....I like it!Haha, I suppose it's a bit of my British blood showing here.
It just means to toss something, throw something, etc. For example, just bung it in the oven for 10 minutes!
:seeya:
To be fair, I think we've all had 'those nights' we'd rather forget...:blushing:
This is no way to prepare or to approve a diagnostic system. Psychiatric diagnosis has become too important in selecting treatments, determining eligibility for benefits and services, allocating resources, guiding legal judgments, creating stigma, and influencing personal expectations to be left in the hands of an APA that has proven itself incapable of producing a safe, sound, and widely accepted manual.
So, here is my list of DSM-5’s 10 most potentially harmful changes. I would suggest that clinicians not follow these at all (or, at the very least, use them with extreme caution and attention to their risks); that potential patients be deeply skeptical, especially if the proposed diagnosis is being used as a rationale for prescribing medication for you or for your child; and that payers question whether some of these are suitable for reimbursement. My goal is to minimize the harm that may otherwise be done by unnecessary obedience to unwise and arbitrary DSM-5 decisions.

(10) DSM-5 has opened the gate even further to the already existing problem of misdiagnosis of PTSD in forensic settings.
Except for autism, all the DSM-5 changes loosen diagnosis and threaten to turn our current diagnostic inflation into diagnostic hyperinflation. Painful experience with previous DSM’s teaches that if anything in the diagnostic system can be misused and turned into a fad, it will be. Many millions of people with normal grief, gluttony, distractibility, worries, reactions to stress, the temper tantrums of childhood, the forgetting of old age, and ‘behavioral addictions’ will soon be mislabeled as psychiatrically sick and given inappropriate treatment.
People with real psychiatric problems that can be reliably diagnosed and effectively treated are already badly shortchanged. DSM-5 will make this worse by diverting attention and scarce resources away from the really ill and toward people with the everyday problems of life who will be harmed, not helped, when they are mislabeled as mentally ill.
Our patients deserve better, society deserves better, and the mental health professions deserve better. Caring for the mentally ill is a noble and effective profession. But we have to know our limits and stay within them.
DSM-5 violates the most sacred (and most frequently ignored) tenet in medicine—First Do No Harm! That’s why this is such a sad moment.
sorry for the slight o/t, but just had to ask if everyone's page has the french sexy ad at the top right of their page?.... I've never seen it before and its in all French, smudob.com is the ad and has a woman in just lace panties embracing a nude dude(atleast all visible areas are nude, save her lacy panties).. the pic looks like one from steamy romance novel cover..lol..does everyone have this ad??
:what: No is there a link where we can watch?
In the Great Reveal of JA as a victim of her own violence, the "expert" said she exhibited the following list of symptoms, blah, blah, blah
AND THEN at the very end he swallowed one important disclaimer. None of them apply for a diagnosis of PTSD if there is the presence of an Axis I or Axis II diagnosis.
With that caveat, a competent psychologist would start looking at the criteria for the Axis II diagnosis, even if just to rule them out. He didn't mention that he even considered it. His twelve visits don't give him the background that we have here about Jodi Arias, after listening to this trial.
After all, because plenty of people lose their lover and don't become murderers. I think they didn't rule out Axis II disorders because JA's pride wouldn't allow it. It's the only point I've ever found that I agree with JA.
Axis II includes the disorders more usually considered permanent, like Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Antisocial Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder.
She didn't think much of this guy since she didn't even consider him "professional help" enough to mention when JM asked her if she had ever spoken to a professional about her mental condition.
Thanks. That makes sense -- except why would he have mentioned that as a reason for moving? Or did he. I think the OP wasn't sure?
Oh, I just found this in my favorites, before I head off to bed.
An article titled "DSM-5 Is A Guide, Not A BibleSimply Ignore Its 10 Worst Changes"
Very interesting... talks about how DSM-5 is expanding more behaviors into psychiatric diagnoses. Everything now has a dx. The author thinks this is not good. I agree. A few highlights but I think it's a must read.

OK!!!! I'm officially creeped out! Have any of you looked at the 180 evidence photos on HLN?? Around 162ish there's pix of the back of the house and what appears to be the window screen laying nearby!! I believe after BRUTALLY MURDERING TA she left out the front but now I'm more convinced than ever she snuck back into that house when TA was in the shower and certain she was gone!
I have never heard this....I like it!
I don't know. I was watching Showbiz tonight and Mike (don't know last name). He had a camera and started taking photos and did the bodyslam, roll, run, gun, run. and that was so so quick, then, had to run for the knife. I tried to google it, but you guys are way better at finding that stuff. I could try to video off my TV. I am hoping they play the whole thing. Pretty compelling. They did it in the offices at HLN studios.
I have not seen it reenacted in person, only by virtual reenactment. NO WAY it could have happened the way she said. And Mike was running FAST!
