Learning Objectives
An individual's thoughts and inner desires are what motivate a person to take action, so it is important to recognize problematic thoughts and desires before they manifest as dangerous or calamitous actions. In this Case Study, learners are given the rare opportunity to explore the mind of someone who is able to justify some of the most heinous acts imaginable. The thought process and emotions present in the patient are constantly in conflict with each other, and it is the responsibility of the viewer to consider the patient's perspective and try to understand how it is that they could arrive at such conclusions. WIth that understanding, the learner can consider options for treatment and, if necessary, law enforcement intervention.
