The current study examined the relationship between Dark Triad constructs and cyberstalking among a large sample of adults (<i>N</i> = 1724) while addressing several limitations of previous research. Each construct was assessed using a validated measure; a newer measure of Machiavellianism was used to ensure that psychopathy and Machiavellianism could be distinguished; and separate models were run for each trait to avoid interpreting residuals from multivariate models. After controlling for age and sex, only the antisocial facet of psychopathy (early and repeated antisocial behaviour; odds ratio, <i>OR</i> = 2.74, 95% confidence interval, CI [1.73, 4.36]) and grandiose narcissism (inflated self-esteem and antagonism; <i>OR</i> = 1.27, 95% CI [1.08, 1.50]) were significantly related to cyberstalking perpetration within the past 12 months. While psychopathy and narcissism may be important factors for understanding antisocial behaviour, Machiavellianism appears to have limited predictive and practical utility.</p>","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"32 5","pages":"818-837"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12459163/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten themes were identified: patient knowledge of legal status, experienced or perceived coercion, effects on medication use, clinical effects measured on outcome scales, effects on psychiatric readmission, use of restraints and seclusion, effects on suicide and deaths, patient satisfaction, length of stay and carer experiences. The review found that involuntary inpatient admission was associated with harms including increased subjective and objective coercion, increased cost and decreased patient satisfaction. In addition, it found that there may be significant confusion among both voluntary and involuntary patients regarding their legal rights. However, patients admitted on an involuntary basis experienced greater improvements in symptoms and function, possibly due to greater symptom burden prior to admission. Involuntary treatment carries the potential for both benefit and harms that should be acknowledged and mitigated by service providers.</p>","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"32 5","pages":"734-781"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12459180/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on 100 interviews, this article nonetheless reveals that healthcare professionals have gradually accepted court-ordered treatment, which they provide both inside and outside correctional facilities. We argue that, with few exceptions, they now agree that given offenders' frequent unwillingness to seek treatment, constraint can lead to creating a therapeutic alliance, although it is a complex process that involves employing a variety of techniques. To overcome offenders' suspicions that they are working with the courts, they claim to be complete outsiders who keep their distance from the judicial system and its expectations. We find that, despite greater acceptance of court-ordered treatment, these professionals perpetuate France's distinctive system and fuel the growing criticism from prosecutors, judges, and corrections system personnel.</p>","PeriodicalId":51553,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry Psychology and Law","volume":"32 5","pages":"796-817"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12459153/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
