Loneliness in a maximum-security forensic hospital: an experience sampling analysis

Article Abstract:

Researches conducted a study to investigate correlations of loneliness in 25 incarcerated psychiatric patients in a maximum-security hospital to distinguish loneliness from other interpersonal variables. Patients reported loneliness and negative emotional state when alone. Patients reported increased loneliness during activities such as watching television. The findings suggest that activities that are goal-directed decrease feelings of worthlessness and helplessness.

Axis II comorbidity in forensic patients with antisocial personality disorder

Article Abstract:

J.S. Wulach's positing a quadruple personality disorder in criminals seems only partially correct. Wulach thinks that criminals have antisocial, histrionic, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. Testing forensic patients and a control group with the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II indeed shows antisocial individuals to have borderline and narcissistic traits but not histrionic ones.
