TOPIC OF THE DAY

fractured Identities
"fractum Identities"

Today's topic is about fractured identities, or better known as "dissociative disorder " under the DSM - IV(diagnostical statistical manual for psychological diagnosis).However, the definition may be changing or has changed in the new DSM-V.

Moreover our discussion today invites you to voice your opinion in regards to if and how how much influence a fractured identity comes into play with criminal behavior. I have cited some resources for your analysis and comparison of the effects of the failure to properly form an identity and would like to ask of you, if you think that the aforementioned maybe a factor to increase the likelihood of punishment or mitigate it.

Do you think that most of our current societal criminal issues arise from a lack of family values, poor parenting or do you believe it is more of an environmental influence? Is there a causal relationship there? Or, as a great majority do , is it your opinion that a person can just be inherently evil and may just be suffering from anti-social personality? Please voice your opinion.

My Best,
