10 Understanding Psychosis (Psykosis or pszychosis)
Psychosis = Delusions, hallucinations and/or disorganized behaviours Hallucinations are false sensory perceptions Hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling and tasting things which aren’t there The more stressed the individual is the more intense the hallucinations/delusions/disorganization will be 3 voice experience

11 Understanding Paranoia
Breaking bad clip If they have powerpoint 2007 it won’t work.

12 Types of Delusions Erotomania: Capgras Syndrome:
believe another person, often someone important or famous, is in love with him or her. The person might attempt to contact the object of the delusion or stalk them. Capgras Syndrome: believe that a friend, spouse, parent, or other close family member has been replaced by an identical-looking imposter

13 Other Delusions Koro Delusion: Othello Syndrome:
an episode of sudden and intense anxiety that the penis (or, in females, the vulva and nipples) will recede into the body and possibly cause death Othello Syndrome: makes repeated accusations that their spouse or sexual partner is being unfaithful, based on insignificant, minimal, or no evidence, often citing seemingly normal or everyday events or material to back up their claims (stalking, cyberstalking, sabotage and violence)

19 Mental Disorder + Risk Delusions about Imposters
Delusions about Infidelity Families of people with psychosis often minimize the risks e.g. “he would never hurt me, I’m his mother” People who are extremely paranoid who: - won’t leave the house - won’t eat - carry weapons - now can identify who is

20 If you stare at the blinking pink dots, you will see only one color, pink. If you look at the + in the center, you'll see a circle of pink dots and a rotating green dot. But, if you stare at the + without moving your eyes, the pink dots will disappear and you will see only a rotating green dot. It's amazing how our brain works. There really is no green dot and the pink ones don't really disappear. This is proof that we don't always see what we think we see.

27 Behavioral Change Stairway Model
Active Listening: Listen to their side and make them aware you’re listening. Empathy: You get an understanding of where they’re coming from and how they feel. Rapport: Empathy is what you feel. Rapport is when they feel it back. They start to trust you. Influence: Now that they trust you, you’ve earned the right to work on problem solving with them and recommend a course of action. Behavioral Change: They act (hopefully the way you want).
