The law says nothing about the etiology of behavior and why people do what they do. The law does not come from clinical research and does not create medical diagnoses. <br /><br />Lawyers have no training - clinical or research - in diagnosis. They have no business in giving input into a psychiatric diagnosis any more than telling other kinds of doctors how to practice, unless they have a medical degree or doctorate in psychology. Would you think it is appropriate for an attorney to give input on how to diagnose a type of cancer, or a neurological condition?California forensic psychologistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-45450205672465033072010-06-25T09:30:08.386-07:002010-06-25T09:30:08.386-07:00This is a no brainer, for years upon years i have ...This is a no brainer, for years upon years i have heard it over and over again "rape has nonthing to do with sex it deals with power over the victim. Using sex as a weapon so to speek,but sex is not the true intent of the offender power over the victim is the offenders true intent.(EXTRA)So rape is not a sexual crime at least according to and stated by just about every DA who ever fought a rape case in courtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-88031639623051377252010-06-24T21:23:27.943-07:002010-06-24T21:23:27.943-07:00And I suppose California forensic psychologist tha...And I suppose California forensic psychologist that psychologists have no business giving input into the law?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-31356608634190799302010-06-24T17:38:42.161-07:002010-06-24T17:38:42.161-07:00That's beyond horrifying.
