		<description><![CDATA[Profiling is a science of observation, study and exploitation of traces of a crime scene, a person, or an animal to determine the relevance of such traces to an investigated crime, event or personality and behavior in general.

Anthropological and Psychological profiling

Profiling consists of several major types:

Cultural profiling

Racial profiling

Predictive profiling

Forensic information technology

Drug profiling

Offender profiling

Digital image forensic

DNA profiling

Performance profiling

The information obtained from profiling is known as forensic, such information is widely relied upon by judiciary systems, such as courts, and police enforcement agencies to determine what happens in a crime scene and help in assumption of criminal behavior.

However, such information is not restricted to the use of such bodies, but rather extends to assisting observers to broaden the comprehension of studied cases or individuals when applied by intelligence agencies or any security related bodies.

Profiling and forensic profiling is used in all fields of studies and not only humans, in fact, this science is developing and advancing very rapidly despite scientific criticism to its viable application.

Generally, forensic profiling refers to the profiling practices of discovering the correlation between acquired data related to studied subject or case as an identifying process and a categorization of groups and data acquired, such as nominal data (persons or objects and their relation due to an investigation) and crime data which is physical tracks of criminal activities on crime scenes be it a witness, a laptop or a mobile phone...

The most commonly used profiling techniques are data mining techniques, such as generating profiles based upon discovered data and the relevance of its patterns.

The four phases of profiling (Gregg O McCrary):

-   Antecedent: The murderer's plan, fantasy and drive prior to committing the crime.

-   Method and manner: type of selected victims and method used to commit the crime.

-   Body disposal: If the murder and the body disposal took place at one or, multiple scenes.

-   Post offense behavior: if the murderer tries to publicize himself by reaching the media or contacting investigators.

Profiling is based on common sense, yet its applied measures varies from culture to culture and race to race, it is an advanced investigative tool while its effectiveness is still under a lot of scientific scrutiny since it is mostly a speculative art still. An Indian would shake his head from left to right in an affirmative gesture or expression, while a Caucasian by doing so would indicate to a denial gesture or expression, an owl in the Middle East is looked upon as a bad omen, while in the west it symbolizes wisdom, and so on...

Profiling relates behavioral science and relies on observation and analysis.

It is accepted that the evolution of human racial and physical features generates from their inherited behavior due to a specific environment and way of adaptation. Lets take for instance an African negroid thick lips evolved due to an adapting process to help preserve moisture, an aborigine of Australia or Papua New Guinea developed thick eye browse to protect his eyes from sun rays, a Bedouin desert folk did so with a larger or longer nose to help him breath better in desert climate, and women living in hot and humid terrains tend to have a larger buttocks to preserve body fat etc...

Therefore; profiling relies heavily on the understanding of the subject cultural and ethical background, and that in itself is based upon relative measures and speculations.

Though profiling is regarded to be a part of science, yet a successful profiler needs to be very talented if he is to produce an effective and accurate profiling.

Profiling goes back in history to the middle ages, and Scotland Yard took it a step further, while Sherlock Holmes character made it even more popular, then there is the CSI series of late filling the rest of the empty cup of the thirsty TV shows viewers.

Remember; we apply our own spontaneous profiling in daily life by what we interpret and perceive from the body language that we use from one another.

Till the next article, may you have the best personality profile!

Adam El Masri.]]></description>

This criminal activity is best known in the USA and the UK where the freedoms of society allow murderers to act out their psychotic murders with the protection of rules that ensure freedom of movement, rights to silence and privacy.

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes such times appear wherein like epidemics unwholesome activities/behavior are on the rise and like a gigantic creeper grow uninterrupted. Despite having no roots this creeper grows fast and in a short time span a full grown tree gets covered by it. There are worms that grow on plants without any external help and thus the plant gets destroyed.

Vile thinking and unwholesome activities have become like a fashion trend.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do movies make a difference in our lives? Of course they do. We are human beings and we learn from what we see, hear and feel. Movies offer it all.

Even when the experience is vicarious and we are only imagining ourselves in a role, movies affect us because of the combined impact of music, dialogue, lighting, camera angles, and sound effects that enable a film to bypass our ordinary defensive censors.

We can become emotionally receptive and energized by an uplifting message, or we can become desensitized to violent behavior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The American Psychological Association has removed the narcissistic personality disorder from the DSM manual. There have been commentators at New York Times claiming it to have been a mistake. In fact, that is one of the most intelligent decisions that American Psychological Association has made in decades.

The reasons are, and should be, obvious to anyone who bears any familiarity with history.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is generally agreed that our society is money motivated and in the following article I shall dispel this myth.

Money is a gimmick not a motivation.

It is a smoke screen or to say it a better way, it is a gimmick because we can all easily agree to and accept it. Yet it is only an agreement and just as all Nazis agreed that Jewish people were the root of all evil and their problems don't make it true!

Crime, deeds, etc. are usually reasoned out or viewed from the angle of what was in it for the culprit, i.e.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being a parent is considered to be the most satisfying and rewarding role one can have in life. However, it can become agonizing when your adolescent or teen starts exhibiting serious behavior problems, such as truancy, delinquency, unending defiance, abuse of alcohol or drugs etc.

Then the pleasure of parenting rapidly goes away. If you are having these problems with your teen, it doesn't mean you will never be able to go back to your normal life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you know what a psychopath is? Ever met one? Worse still, have you ever been a psychopath's victim? Actually, I hate to say it, but the answer to the last two questions may well be 'yes,' although you probably wouldn't realize it.

The research scientists tell us that one person out of a hundred is afflicted with the condition, and it breaks down evenly between men and women.

What image springs into your mind when you think of the word 'psychopath?' A figure in a cloak, laughing maniacally as he bears down on you with a huge, blood-soaked knife?

That man you and your spouse met last night at the party. Your spouse mentioned what dead, humourless eyes he had. Well, even deadeye Dick doesn't fit the bill, I'm afraid, and certainly not the knife wielder.

Naturally enough, they're Hollywood's favourite bad chaps and chapesses! The problem with Hollywood, well one of them, anyway, is that they regularly confuse the psychopath with the psychotic.

Probably the most famous, or infamous, mad bad man of all time was Norman Bates in 'Psycho.' I wouldn't mind betting that if you asked a dozen people on the street what he was, everyone would say he was a raving psychopath.]]></description>

Psychopathy is considered a personality disorder and because of this, it's virtually impossible to treat.]]></description>

How can people who have the disorder protect themselves from being labeled as criminally, mentally ill? The answer is to arm themselves with information and share it where appropriate.

Bipolar disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a category of mood disorders that is determined by the presence of one or more episodes of abnormally high energy levels and one or more depressive episodes. The high energy levels are called mania unless they are not as severe and then they are called hypomania.]]></description>

How can people who have the disorder protect themselves from being labeled as criminally, mentally ill? The answer is to arm themselves with information and share it where appropriate.

It is true that people with Bipolar disorder have continual changes in thought, energy, mood, sleep and activity particularly before they are on the proper medications. But in spite of shifting states most people, even those who do not have their disorder under control with medication, are not usually going to commit murder or be serial rapists.

Here is some of that good information:

Those who take their medications have a very good prognosis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What makes one human being brutalize another human being under the guise or rule of law? Lord Acton in 1887 wrote a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton and said "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." Is this part of the answer?

Those who have studies excessive use of force have identified 6 conditions that make an organization ripe for loss of discipline and control of employees.

1.	Weak or absent leadership2.	Seeing others as less than human3.	Lack of discipline and training4.	Not having oversight by an outside entity. Secrecy.5.	Being exposed to brutality6.	Being part of a group with similar beliefs about the legitimacy of using violence in certain situations as a means to an end.

Let's evaluate some well known situations.

Mei Lai Massacre. March 16, 1968, in the time span of about 20 minutes, 347 to 504 South Vietnamese citizens were murdered by 60-70 US soldiers in the village of Mei Lai.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One morning on the radio I heard a news story about a local company recalling ink jet cartridges that were not properly labeled as dangerous for children. While I am a supporter of labeling, I can't help but wonder whether things have gone too far. This seems to be yet another indicator that individuals in our society do not accept responsibility for themselves.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will. - Jawaharlal Nehru, former Prime Minister of India.

Much has been written and debated about what determines the behaviour of a person, genes or environment? Are our genes responsible for what we do in our day to day life? Or does environment play a dominant role in shaping our behaviour? This "nature - nurture" theory is a perennial topic of discussion.

The basic unit of heredity in an organism is its gene.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've all come across people who just seem incapable of modifying their perspective based on new data being presented. Most of us still mouth the words that additional education (or indoctrination/propaganda as is often the case) is what is needed since surely this person will turn around if his/her consciousness is sufficiently expanded with additional data backing your perspective. However, all too often deep inside we know that some people are "hopeless".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The year is 2009 and it has been over a century since popular consciousness has widely accepted the fact that humans are just another type of animal. Curiously, even as humans are increasingly accepting of political and cultural pluralism, there is still insufficient focus on how pluralism in general arises from differences in breeds of humans. Populous mammals like dogs and cats have a number of breeds that cluster by physiological external differences like size and internal neural differences like aggressiveness, friendliness, and task specialization.]]></description>

I have seen several news stories over the past few years about children being harassed so much in school that they chose to take their own lives to end the misery.

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract:

In recent years psychology has tried to uplift the human spirit with lots of popular psychology terms such as, "Positive Psychology" or the numerous books released to tell the masses how to behave to lead a fulfilled successful life from talking about parachutes, ten steps to something, the mired of "how to" titles and much more. Most are nothing but misguided pop psych or a fad of the moment. Can life be as easy as reading the right book and following some basic concepts and everything is going to be OK for you and me? This paper is different, we shall explore the "Dark" side of the human mind - that part that sees disengagement, destruction, vile acts as part of the everyday human psyche that emerges in us all from time to time - that part that finds excitement, glee and pleasure in the dysfunctional part of our existence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If your public service involves interviewing surviving victims of or eyewitnesses to violent events, you will want to learn more about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the Witness Memory Retrieval Technique and how each can impact your investigation.

Research proves there are two distinct human processes that prevent investigators and police personnel from conducting the most effective investigation when working with surviving victims of and eyewitnesses to violent crimes. Those processes have been identified as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Memory Retrieval (Recall).

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and how does it impact the Witness Memory Retrieval process?

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a reaction to a violent event that evokes intense fear, terror and helplessness. Many surviving victims of violent crimes...rape, robbery, murder, kidnapping, terrorism, sexual abuse and physical assault, for example, are unable to recognize the signs of emotional stress they are experiencing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, a Christian colleague made it clear to me that he found the use of hypnosis at the very least questionable and at the very worst "dark." He asked me to refrain from using it in my psychotherapy work with my contract patients in the agency he founded. For lack of time, I assured him that I would honor his wishes, but quickly pointed out to him that the use of hypnosis (whether it was formal trance or Verbal First Aid, which is the use of words to facilitate healing in acute situations, such as accidents or shock) was no different than the use of a knife. In the hands of a good surgeon, it could be a life-saver.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Introduction

In this world of todays', there are a lot of implausible diseases; one of them is the disease of human's mind, which is called as split-personality disorder. Not many people around the world believe if this disease really exists or not, or they rather think that the person is acting.

I was on my way from Bangalore, India to Mumbai, India and during the journey I was just chatting with the person sitting next to me and during the process of our conversation we begin to discuss on "Split Personalities".

I distinctly remember that when I was in college, I had one very good friend of mine and his name was Mr. T.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are almost completely unaware of the evolution of psychic function. We believe that people of ancient times were exactly like us, as if conscious human nature was born, like Paul Bunyan, in it's present form, without any need for psychic leaps of understanding-perhaps most of which haven't happened yet. Whether as archeologists, historians, sociologists, or anyone studying ancient times, we draw conclusions about motive and state of mind based upon present-time human consciousness, assuming that psychically we always have been like we are today, and always will be exactly the same.

Indeed the entity least studied on planet Earth is human nature.]]></description>

So it is with being a psychotherapist, liberally confused with a number of social roles, including parent, friend, lover and doctor-all of which contribute pieces to a psychotherapist's identity, but cannot by themselves, represent it.]]></description>
