3 Types The Pathogenic The Criminological The Adaptational

The Pathogenic People who motivated by underlying pathology Genuinely disturbed The voluntary production of bogus symptoms will eventually erode and be replaced by a genuine disorder Memang sudah menjadi patologis atau GANGGUAN Seseorang yang dimotivasi karena (juga) sudah ada patologi Memang sudah menjadi patologis atau GANGGUAN Seseorang yang dimotivasi karena (juuga) sudah ada patologi

The Criminological People with an antisocial / oppositional motivation Feign mental disorders to obtain outcomes they do not deserve Dilakukan oleh pelaku kriminal , berperilaku seakan2 mengalami GANGGUAN MENTAL Biasa individu memiliki kecenderungan perilaku ANTI-SOSIAL (MELANGGAR HUKUM)  PSIKOPAT untuk menghindari hukuman-hukuman Dilakukan oleh pelaku kriminal , berperilaku seakan2 mengalami GANGGUAN MENTAL Biasa individu memiliki kecenderungan perilaku ANTI-SOSIAL (MELANGGAR HUKUM)  PSIKOPAT untuk menghindari hukuman-hukuman Malingering is a specific manifestation of antisocial behavior and attitudes: “Chronic conning (penipuan)” (meds to get “high” or sell, transfer to another unit with more privileges, transfer to hospital where escape is more probable, etc)

The Adaptational The person who makes “a constructive attempt, at least from the feigner’s perspective, to succeed in highly adversarial circumstances” Disesuaikan dengan situasi dan merancang  belum tentu masuk jadi gangguan (seperti Pathogenic), jadi bersifat SITUASIONAL Disesuaikan dengan situasi dan merancang  belum tentu masuk jadi gangguan (seperti Pathogenic), jadi bersifat SITUASIONAL Malingering is an attempt to succeed when faced with adverse (merugikan,berlawanan) circumstances: (CA: ”third-strike psychosis”) ? Misreporting of anxiety/mood symptoms as “voices” (consider administering anxiety scales along with malingering scales)

Malingering & Criminal Justice System Competency to stand trial (CST) assessments: 60,000 referrals in US / year Base rates of malingering estimated from 8% to 17.4% Surveys of psychiatrists / psychologists working in forensic settings: report malingering in 16-18% patient population Cornell DG, Hawk GL: Law & Human Behavior (1989) Rogers R, et al: Law & Human Behavior (1998) Rogers R: Clinical Assessment of Malingering & Deception (2nd Ed. 1997)

Psychosis & Deception Targets of Faked Psychosis Targets Examples 1. Behavior Bizarre motor behavior Audible self-talk 2. Somatic Internal body changes Physical disease processes 3. Sensation Vivid hallucinations Strange illusions 4. Imagery Terrifying nightmares Uncontrollable flashbacks 5. Affect Immobilizing fear Suicidal depression 6. Cognition Delusions of persecution, grandiosity; looseness of thought 7. Interpersonal Inability to respond: mutism Sexually inappropriate questions Deception = tipu muslihat Contoh perilaku yang bisa terlihat pada Malingerer yang memunculkan klaim ttg gangguan mental

The presence of Anti social Personality Disorder Malingering should be strongly suspected if any combination of the following is noted: Medicolegal context of presentation (e.g the person is referred by an attorney to the clinician for examination) Marked discrepancy between the person’s claimed stress or disability and the objective findings Lack of cooperation during the diagnostic evaluation and in complying with the prescribed treatment regimen The presence of Anti social Personality Disorder Individu yang dapat dideteksi jika: Adanya catatan medis yang dirujuk oleh pengacaranya sendiri Periksa kesenjangan/diskrepansi antara stres yang diKELUHkan dengan temuan di lapangan (dapat bertanya pada saksi/org2 sekitar) Kurang nya koordinasi selama evaluasi diagnosa, apakah ada beda antara keluhan, diagnosa dan treatment yang disarankan Munculnya kepribadian Anti sosial (orang2 yang cenderung melawan, melangggar)  cek lagi pada Type Criminological Individu yang dapat dideteksi jika: Adanya catatan medis yang dirujuk oleh pengacaranya sendiri Periksa kesenjangan/diskrepansi antara stres yang diKELUHkan dengan temuan di lapangan (dapat bertanya pada saksi/org2 sekitar) Kurang nya koordinasi selama evaluasi diagnosa, apakah ada beda antara keluhan, diagnosa dan treatment yang disarankan Munculnya kepribadian Anti sosial (orang2 yang cenderung melawan, melangggar)  cek lagi pada Type Criminological

malingering In contrast, malingering are likely to be more guarded and cautious, perhaps because they consider interviews a challenge or threat to the success of lie. Malingering is the intentional production of false or grossly exaggerated physical or psychological symptoms. Malingerer cenderung lebih berhati-hati karena mereka mengetahui bahwa mereka dinilai saat di wawancara atau bahkan di tes Sering memunculkan rekayasa gangguan fisik dan psikis secara berlebihan Malingerer cenderung lebih berhati-hati karena mereka mengetahui bahwa mereka dinilai saat di wawancara atau bahkan di tes Sering memunculkan rekayasa gangguan fisik dan psikis secara berlebihan

Malingering & Jail Inmates Potential motives for malingering in jail population may include: Avoid or delay legal proceedings with a “mental defense” (insanity, incompetent to stand trial) Obtain(memperoleh) a preferred housing change (i.e. psych ward, hospital unit) Evidence to obtain SSI benefits after release Obtain psychotropic medications (sedation=pemberian obat/drugs)

Malingering Individuals may be stimulated to fake mental illness at several points in the criminal justice process, including determining competency to stand trial, pleading not guilty by reason of insanity, and attempting to influence the sentence (Wrightsman & Fulero, 2005) Strategi Malingerer supaya dapat simpati publik. Mengkreasi sejumlah statement sehingga memengaruhi emosi publik. Strategi Malingerer supaya dapat simpati publik. Mengkreasi sejumlah statement sehingga memengaruhi emosi publik.

Detecting Malingering Healthcare providing the medical records contain evidence of over-treatment for minor problems. Malingerers are usually not willing to undergo extensive painful diagnostic testing, treatment or surgery. Deteksi : Fasilitas kesehatan yang dirujuk langsung Simak atau baca baik2 rekam medis nya, gangguannya sedikit tapi minta treatment/pelayanan yang berlebihan Biasanya Malingerer tidak mau untuk tes, operasi Deteksi : Fasilitas kesehatan yang dirujuk langsung Simak atau baca baik2 rekam medis nya, gangguannya sedikit tapi minta treatment/pelayanan yang berlebihan Biasanya Malingerer tidak mau untuk tes, operasi

Malingering: Assessment Resnick PJ. Psychiatr Clin North Am (1999) Collateral behavioral observations (nursing, custody) Clinical interview, malingered “voices”: Continuous rather than intermittent Vague, inaudible Not associated with delusions or thought disorder No strategies to cope with “voices” Claim that all instructions are obeyed Intermittent  sebentar-sebentar Vague - samar-samar, tidak jelas Inaudible  tidak terdengar jelas No 4  tidak bisa didiagnosa kl ternyata calon tersangka memiliki gangguan wicara/pendengaran No 5  protes kl harus turuti perintah terus2an Kl bicara sering terus menerus, kurang jelas makna nya Intermittent  sebentar-sebentar Vague - samar-samar, tidak jelas Inaudible  tidak terdengar jelas No 4  tidak bisa didiagnosa kl ternyata calon tersangka memiliki gangguan wicara/pendengaran No 5  protes kl harus turuti perintah terus2an Kl bicara sering terus menerus, kurang jelas makna nya

Malingering Assessment: Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms (M-FAST) “The times when you can’t go to sleep, do you often smell strange odors that are not really there?” “When I hear voices, my hands begin to sweat” “Often, I get the strange feeling that I am from another planet” “On many days I feel so bad that I can’t even remember my full name”

Malingering Summary There should be strong suspicion for malingering in forensic settings Malingering for psychotropic medications is a growing problem for jails Assessment of malingering should involve collateral(tambahan) observations and records Consider the adjunct use of validated screens (M-FAST) and tests (SIRS) Need better exchange of clinical information between forensic settings (i.e., jails and state hospitals)
