2008 Forensic evaluation of juvenile fire setters Eugene Schiller PsyD
2376 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.

2008 A survey of juvenile firesetter intervention programs in North America David J Kolko psychology journal 10794 A survey of juvenile firesetter intervention programs was conducted to empirically depict the state of the art in serving this population in North America. A total of 150 programs completed surveys, of which 31 were affiliated with statewide coalitions. Survey questions examined staff and program composition, child and family characteristics, program operations, and needed developments. Results indicated that fire safety education was the most commonly used intervention to treat juveniles, most of whom were males between the ages of 7 and 12 years. Overt behavioral difficulties, parent psychosocial difficulties, and parent marital/partner discord were common characteristics attributed to treated children.

2007 The triad of juvenile firesetting, bedwetting, and cruelty to animals: establishing prevalence and comorbidity Donna Faranda PsyD
Steven Katsikas PhD psychology journal 7009 This study examined the prevalence rates and comorbidity of the ego triad consisting of juvenile firesetting, bedwetting, and animal cruelty in samples drawn from a firesetter intervention program and a mental health clinic for children.

2006 Arson-madness, motives, myths, role of the forensic psychiatrist Douglas Anderson MD Psychiatry CD 2248 The crime of arson is extremely common but not well understood. The motives behind fire setting are many and are often com-plicated. Understanding the motive is key to understanding the arsonist, yet this crime is often associated with myths of madness or hypnotic or sexual excitement. This presentation will focus on the factual motivational basis for crimes of arson, including personal gain, revenge, vandalism, subterfuge, and even misguided civic improvement. Attendees will learn both the common and some unique motives for arson, and the potential role of the forensic psychiatrist in aiding either the prosecution or the de-fense in criminal cases. Douglas Anderson, M.D. practices both clinical and forensic psychiatry in New York City. He has been retained in fourteen states and overseas, and has appeared frequently as an expert commentator on Court TV.

2004 Sparking up: family behavioral and empathy factors in adolescent firesetters Dan Walsh, Ian Lambie PhD, Malcolm Stewart PhD psychology journal 7096 This study investigated family, behavioral, and empathy factors involved with adolescent boys who set fires. Twenty adolescent males firesetters were compared with 21 non-firesetting males with behavioral problems.

2001 Communities working together-evaluation of intervention program for juvenile firesetters and arsonists in Broward County, Florida Donna Faranda PsyD psychology journal 842 Daily in America children are killed or injured in fire-related activities. Prevalence for juvenile firesetting in community settings ranges from 40% to 50-55%. This research investigated Broward County Florida s Juvenile Firesetter Prevention Network s (FJFPN) efficacy in reducing juvenile firesetting/arson recidivism.

2000 Kleptomania - diagnosis, treatment and forensic considerations Paul Good PhD psychology tape 1036 Forensic psychologists are frequently evaluating defendants charged with petty theft. Most of these individuals are shoplifters with antisocial tendencies, but a small subgroup are true kleptomaniacs who are motivated by psychological reasons. The syndrome has been officially recognized by the professional community for twenty years as a disorder of impulse control. This presentation draws upon psychological testing data obtained from defendants attending the author s shoplifting program and will identify changing diagnostic criteria, new treatments including psychoeducational and pharmacological, and review the most effective legal strategies for presenting kleptomania in the courtroom. Case examples will illustrate.

1996 Pathological gambling in the stock market- forensic psychology considerations Paul Good PhD psychology tape 1416 The stock market, dubbed the Wall Street Casino , is ever more perilous for impulsive and addictive personalities whose modest investment plan can easily escalate into speculation and outright gambling. Securities markets, sanctioned by society as legitimate financial institutions, offer plenty of "action" via high risk, high leverage options and futures trading, easy money through margin borrowing, and lightening fast transactions. Forensic psychologists are being asked to certify investors who have bona fide gambling disorders in cases brought to the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) for arbitration under Dram Shop laws holding brokerage houses liable. Participants will learn about research on gambling in the securities market; understand the distinction between levels of risk taking in stock investing; appreciate the legal basis for claims against brokerage houses; be able to identify the key clinical features that distinguish successful cases.

1996 Growing up conditions and current psychsocial situation among kleptomaniacs and shoplifters Elina Sarasalo MD
Bo Bergman MD psychiatry journal 852 One possible interpretation of our study is that, on the psychological level, strict discipline while growing-up and the frustration of never getting the things that the child wanted, may be of importance for the development of kleptomania (the description of frustration by the kleptomaniacs may of course also be interpreted as being an after-construction). These child rearing characteristics are hard to understand in the light of family violence and a generally unorganized lifestyle while growing-up was described. Thus kleptomania may be a way of compensating for such a background, characterized by so many inconsistencies in parents and other caregivers during the growing-up period. One may speculate whether the behavior of kleptomania functions as a protection from more severe forms of criminal and adjustment problems.

1994 Patricide and arson by a 12-year-old girl- forensic rarity or societal trend? Christine E. Edberg, M.D. psychiatry tapes 1932 A horrific patricide and arson committed by a child without a major psychiatric illness is presented with the following issues in mind: Who are the children who kill their parents? Are parricidal females different from their male counterparts?

1994 Childhood firesetting- review of assessment and treatment methods Gabriel Kaplan, MD psychiatry tapes 10082 Arson is the fastest growing crime in the U.S. The complex relationship between human behavior and fire begins early in childhood. A review of crime reports for 1982 found that 55% of all arrestees for arson were under 18 years of age. Statistics for 1975 revealed estimated damages worth $670 million, 375 deaths and 15,000 injuries resulting from fires set by juveniles.

1990 Shoplifting and kleptomania H Davis MD psychiatry journal 5036 Shoplifting, unlike kleptomania, is not marked by the buildup of similar tensions prior to the theft, nor with orgasmic release thereafter. The shoplifter is more likely to exhibit a history of ongoing anxiety and depression for some time, often weeks or months prior to the shoplifting incident, and there is more often a resistance to stealing (6), which is performed by the older, usually female patient. Furthermore, the theft is often undertaken in full view of others, with many individuals professing to be relieved when they are caught.

1989 Homosexual panic in homicidal rage- impulse control disorder as psychiatric defense Emmanuel Aquino MD psychiatry tapes 1710 A variant of impulse control disorder as a valid behavioral defense in criminal litigation is described and the case of a young man, found not guilty by reason of insanity, on a charge of second degree murder of a retired homosexual school teacher is presented.

1986 Therapist-patient sex-Satyriasis in a physician Michael Cleary MD psychiatry journal 5030 A 55-year old male psychiatrist was arrested following his indictment by a state grand jury on seven counts of sexual offense, the complainants in all cases being women patients of his.

1985 Child and adult firesetters Kenneth R Fineman, PhD psychology tape 10091 Speaker presents information relative to the difficulties in evaluating child and adult firesetters. Emphasis will be on the review of literature relative to the mythology and the actual factors contributing to firesetting.

1985 The relationship between arson and pyromania Thane Crosssley PhD psychology journal 5009 Firesetting itself is not a disease but rather a complex symptom of inner disturbance. It is estimated that 25 to 40 percent of male arsonists are compulsive firesetters or pyromaniacs.
