JUVENILES AND ADOLESCENTS IN COURT
AUTHOR SOURCE SELECTION ABSTRACT
2008 Children who kill-understanding our response Cassandra Klyman MD Psychiatry journal 6212 The American response to juvenile offenders has evolved within the dynamics of English common law, states versus federal rights, conflict between the legislative and judicial branches of government and commentary from the international community. Illustrating these issues as they converge on two Michigan child-killers may help inform and prepare us when we are challenged to assist the child, his/her family, the prosecution or the defense. It may guide us to give thoughtful testimony to the local and national legislatures which ultimately can change procedure and sentencing.

2008 Forensic evaluation of juvenile fire setters Eugene Schiller, Psy.D., MSW psychiatry CD 10621 Fire setting behaviors continue to be a societal problem, resulting in both human and property damage. The causes of such behaviors remain poorly understood, and represent a final common pathway of biological, psychological, social risk factors. Often, the behaviors start in childhood, and if properly analyzed, could result in preventive measures. In this presentation, a forensic psychologist experienced in such analyses will review the phenomenology, risk factors, differential diagnoses, and management of juvenile fire setters. The relationship of firesetting to psychopathy and biological under-arousal will be explored, as will a mens rea analysis of the fire setter, evaluating the quality of risk taking.--Eugene Schiller is a clinical psychologist working for Juvenile Forensic Services, County of San Diego. In this capacity, he routinely conducts evaluations of juveniles for the potential to set fires.

2008 Psychosexual outcomes for men who were sexually abused in institutions as children and adolescents
Robert G. Ley, Ph.D. psychology CD 10646 In earlier eras, it was not uncommon for some children, particularly boys, to be placed in various institutions if they had significant conduct problems, serious intellectual impairment or learning disabilities, or specific medical conditions. Some special educational and religious initiatives resulted in the wholesale institutionalization of specific ethnic groups. Tragically, oftentimes there was much sexual abuse of institutionalized children by adult staff members. In recent years there has been a proliferation of lawsuits involving such "historical abuse cases," whereby an adult alleges childhood sexual abuse and seeks compensation for psychosocial damages linked to the claimed abuse. Attendees will learn how to conduct a comprehensive assessment in historical abuse cases, such that the link between childhood abuse and adult psychosocial adjustment can be ascertained.

2007 Interventions with aggressive and resistant adolescents: cognitive processes related to anger in children and youth
Daniel Davis PhD psychology CD 10362 The problem of adolescent violence and resistance to treatment remains one of the most difficult issues often faced by clinicians. Although there has been a recent drop in the rates of violent juvenile crime, the problem of adolescent violence remains a long-standing, vexing and complex issue that continues to challenge mental health providers and one that reaches far beyond fluctuations of crime rates, media focus and political pressures. This presentation offers a conceptual model of assessment and treatment for use with aggressive and unwilling youth that draws upon a blending of cognitive behavioral systems, animal assisted and creative therapies.

2007 Child/adolescent risk assessment: prediction versus risk assessment, a dynamic process Frank Ezzo, PhD
Thomas Evans PhD psychology CD 10364 The presentation will distinguish between the goal of risk assessment as management of risk and not prediction of risk behavior. Demographic and epidemiological data will be presented as an important framework for understanding risk assessment.

2006 Examining the competence of adolescents automatically transferred to adult criminal court Anna Scherzer MD Psychiatry CD 2245
Many adolescents are automatically transferred to adult criminal court due to the nature of their crime. However, many of these adolescents demonstrate deficits in competence, not merely because of naïveté or treatable psychiatric disorders, but due to cognitive immaturity and lack of appreciation. Adult based competency habilitation programs are usually bifold, teaching facts and treating psychiatric disturbance. There is often little done to address issues of cognitive maturation, especially in the population that has a high percentage of language processing disabilities. The courts are just now becoming increasingly aware of these issues and the dilemma they pose. This talk will address the problem and offer a case study (currently at the level of the appellate courts) as an example. Learning objectives: to understand components of legal competency; to under-stand the interplay of cognitive development and competency. Anna Scherzer, M.D. has been in private practice since 1977, as a clinical pediatrician, a general and child/adolescent psychiatrist and as a forensic psychiatrist.

1998 Providing psychiatric consultation to the juvenile court Peter D. Ganime, MD psychiatry tapes 9037 The number of young people with mental health issues coming to the attention of the juvenile court is rising and there is a corresponding increase in requests for psychiatric evaluations of these youthful offenders. What do juvenile court judges and probation officers expect from such an evaluation? What constitutes a useful, relevant report? How do these examinations differ from those of adults? What can psychiatric consultation offer to this system and what are its limitations? The presenter will describe the unique needs encountered when providing consultation in this setting and propose minimum guidelines for these evaluations. The importance of developmental issues in the program will be emphasized. Participants will better appreciate the special nature of providing consultation to the juvenile court and will be provided with a forum where they can register their own opinions about the process.

1993 Reliability, credibility, and the forensic psychiatrist s evaluation of children and adolescents Peter Gioia MD
Donald Lunde MD psychiatry journal 6087 Psychiatrists frequently disagree about the psychiatric diagnoses of children and adolescents. This lack of agreement, which we will refer to as "poor reliability," significantly detracts from the credibility of psychiatrists in the courtroom. Attorneys, judges and jurors regard the failure to perform reliably, not as an indication of the inherent complexity of the task, but as a deficiency of scientific rigor and lack of credibility.
