This is revealed by your use of the word "patients". No one in prison who deals with a psych is a "patient", either in terminology, usage, or even law. The psychologist isn't there for the prisoner, he or she isn't the focus. The psych is there for their employer, HMP.prisonerbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923205052778958118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-68779273529426930272013-08-17T20:54:39.818+01:002013-08-17T20:54:39.818+01:00I have not read every single post on here but some...I have not read every single post on here but some of it is very uneducated.<br /><br />To tarnish all psychologists with the same brush is not acceptable. I am sure all criminals believe that they should not be tarnished with the same brush either.<br /><br />Perhaps some proper research on your parts into treatment on aggression, sexual offending, and anxiety issues would enlighten you.<br /><br />Whilst i agree that there may be some 'unfair' psychologists, they are bound between the rules they have to follow under the prison and the BPS and their own knowledge that all patients they see are different and that prison itself is a stressful situation to be living in.<br /><br />Most psychologists do their best under the restrictions around them. And no trainee psychologist would have a final decision on a prisoners fate!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3184990032979540229.post-87458869792622798022011-01-18T19:55:10.401+00:002011-01-18T19:55:10.401+00:00Now, now children!

I suppose that is understandable in one who has been denied his for so long, but it does mean the occasional malicious post is inevitable.
