00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:33.160 align:middle line:90%
PROFESSOR: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:36.210 align:middle line:84%
and we will spend the next
couple of weeks grading them.

00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:39.440 align:middle line:84%
But that was pretty fun on
Friday so [UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:43.370 align:middle line:90%


00:00:43.370 --> 00:00:45.560 align:middle line:84%
We've been talking these
past couple of weeks--

00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:50.290 align:middle line:90%


00:00:50.290 --> 00:00:53.380 align:middle line:84%
we've been talking the past
couple of weeks about serious

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:57.624 align:middle line:84%
games, games for education,
games as an art form, as a

00:00:57.624 --> 00:00:58.440 align:middle line:90%
means of expression.

00:00:58.440 --> 00:01:00.280 align:middle line:84%
And we're going to be continuing
some of those

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.220 align:middle line:90%
discussions later on.

00:01:03.220 --> 00:01:06.660 align:middle line:84%
But the whole idea is to sort
of give you, to sort of prep

00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:09.620 align:middle line:84%
you, for a situation where
you're going to make a game

00:01:09.620 --> 00:01:10.360 align:middle line:90%
for a client.

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:12.400 align:middle line:84%
And for this last assignment,
you're actually going to be

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.596 align:middle line:84%
making a game based on a problem
that Lisa is going to

00:01:16.596 --> 00:01:17.846 align:middle line:90%
be talking about.

00:01:17.846 --> 00:01:21.090 align:middle line:90%


00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:22.490 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: My name is
Jim [UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:01:22.490 --> 00:01:24.240 align:middle line:90%
I'm a clinical psychologist.

00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:24.720 align:middle line:90%
I work at--

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:26.960 align:middle line:84%
I was at Beth Israel, I'm just
starting at Brigham and

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:31.250 align:middle line:84%
Women's Hospital, one of the
Harvard mafia hospitals.

00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:39.240 align:middle line:84%
And my area is using interactive
media for clinical

00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:40.780 align:middle line:90%
training but especially for

00:01:40.780 --> 00:01:42.196 align:middle line:90%
treatment of clinical problems.

00:01:42.196 --> 00:01:45.300 align:middle line:84%
So we make computer programs
to help treat clinical

00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:47.392 align:middle line:90%
disorders in psychology.

00:01:47.392 --> 00:01:50.368 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: It's
my turn to stand up.

00:01:50.368 --> 00:01:51.860 align:middle line:90%
I'm [UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:53.590 align:middle line:90%
I'm a psychiatrist at UMass.

00:01:53.590 --> 00:01:56.529 align:middle line:84%
I trained in the same
place like Jim used

00:01:56.529 --> 00:01:58.994 align:middle line:90%
to work, Beth Israel.

00:01:58.994 --> 00:02:01.952 align:middle line:84%
And my focus is primarily
clinical.

00:02:01.952 --> 00:02:06.389 align:middle line:84%
I'm an attending psychiatrist
in a variety of settings,

00:02:06.389 --> 00:02:07.375 align:middle line:90%
inpatient, outpatient.

00:02:07.375 --> 00:02:11.430 align:middle line:84%
And what I brought up to Jim
and then Phillip was a

00:02:11.430 --> 00:02:17.540 align:middle line:84%
practical question that I will
try to present, which is

00:02:17.540 --> 00:02:21.374 align:middle line:84%
helping psychiatry residents
deal with angry, agitated, and

00:02:21.374 --> 00:02:24.350 align:middle line:84%
potentially [UNINTELLIGIBLE]
patients.

00:02:24.350 --> 00:02:30.804 align:middle line:84%
Later this is a significant
and largely unknown issue.

00:02:30.804 --> 00:02:35.784 align:middle line:84%
Certainly the research is
picking up, and we don't quite

00:02:35.784 --> 00:02:37.278 align:middle line:84%
understand the extent
of the problem.

00:02:37.278 --> 00:02:39.270 align:middle line:90%
And but I'll say more.

00:02:39.270 --> 00:02:41.770 align:middle line:84%
I'll save it for our
presentation.

00:02:41.770 --> 00:02:44.060 align:middle line:90%
Thank you for coming here.

00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:48.780 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR: So when they
contacted me, there was the

00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:51.565 align:middle line:84%
usual interest in trying to
make some sort of digital

00:02:51.565 --> 00:02:55.629 align:middle line:84%
piece of software to help the
training residents in learning

00:02:55.629 --> 00:03:02.260 align:middle line:84%
how to deal with violence
in mental institutions.

00:03:02.260 --> 00:03:06.120 align:middle line:84%
And immediately the first thing
that I thought, well

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:07.940 align:middle line:84%
before we jump right into
digital, let's try doing

00:03:07.940 --> 00:03:09.900 align:middle line:90%
something in analog first.

00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:12.740 align:middle line:84%
Let's try prototyping
something first.

00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:16.316 align:middle line:84%
But it also occurred to me that,
in the real world of

00:03:16.316 --> 00:03:20.950 align:middle line:84%
game design, there's actually a
lot more jobs in game design

00:03:20.950 --> 00:03:23.680 align:middle line:84%
outside of the game industry
than inside the game industry.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.100 align:middle line:84%
There are a lot of companies out
there that are basically

00:03:26.100 --> 00:03:27.800 align:middle line:90%
looking for solutions.

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.700 align:middle line:90%
Some of which may be games.

00:03:29.700 --> 00:03:35.290 align:middle line:84%
And you might end up working in
some of those capacities.

00:03:35.290 --> 00:03:37.200 align:middle line:84%
A lot of folks in advertising
for instance

00:03:37.200 --> 00:03:38.715 align:middle line:90%
are involved in games.

00:03:38.715 --> 00:03:41.880 align:middle line:84%
A lot of folks who are
interested in improving

00:03:41.880 --> 00:03:47.980 align:middle line:84%
teaching methods, or improving
simulations, working on--

00:03:47.980 --> 00:03:51.860 align:middle line:84%
trying to think of
an example--

00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:53.730 align:middle line:90%
public awareness.

00:03:53.730 --> 00:04:00.910 align:middle line:84%
And people who are also now
working in website design and

00:04:00.910 --> 00:04:04.200 align:middle line:84%
in various online services, who
are trying to think about

00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:07.010 align:middle line:84%
how to make their experiences
a little bit more game like.

00:04:07.010 --> 00:04:09.580 align:middle line:84%
There are really really good
ways of doing that, and there

00:04:09.580 --> 00:04:11.460 align:middle line:84%
are really really bad
ways of doing that.

00:04:11.460 --> 00:04:14.780 align:middle line:84%
And for the most part what we're
hoping is that, if you

00:04:14.780 --> 00:04:16.538 align:middle line:84%
end up getting one of those
jobs, you're going to be able

00:04:16.538 --> 00:04:19.440 align:middle line:84%
to bring some of your personal
insight as having actually

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:23.015 align:middle line:84%
done game design, as opposed
to just copying what games

00:04:23.015 --> 00:04:27.217 align:middle line:84%
have done, and just assuming,
well, it kind of looks like a

00:04:27.217 --> 00:04:28.250 align:middle line:90%
game, therefore it is a game.

00:04:28.250 --> 00:04:32.460 align:middle line:90%
You guys know that now.

00:04:32.460 --> 00:04:35.910 align:middle line:84%
So this is kind of get your
feet wet, in terms of

00:04:35.910 --> 00:04:41.170 align:middle line:84%
designing something, designing
for somebody else's needs.

00:04:41.170 --> 00:04:45.080 align:middle line:84%
The important thing to keep in
mind is, who is going to be

00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:48.740 align:middle line:84%
playing your game, or who's
this game intended for.

00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:51.640 align:middle line:84%
And in what context are they
going to be playing your game.

00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:54.710 align:middle line:84%
One of the particular problems
that you're trying to address,

00:04:54.710 --> 00:04:56.030 align:middle line:84%
what's the part of
the system that

00:04:56.030 --> 00:04:58.690 align:middle line:90%
you're trying to simulate.

00:04:58.690 --> 00:05:05.040 align:middle line:84%
And what kinds of insights do
you hope people are going to

00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.010 align:middle line:90%
get out of that.

00:05:06.010 --> 00:05:08.060 align:middle line:84%
The problem they're going
to talk about it huge.

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:10.650 align:middle line:84%
If you noticed I uploaded
actually four readings to the

00:05:10.650 --> 00:05:12.630 align:middle line:90%
class website.

00:05:12.630 --> 00:05:15.220 align:middle line:84%
Only one of them is required,
but all of them are useful.

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:16.670 align:middle line:90%
I will be uploading more.

00:05:16.670 --> 00:05:19.780 align:middle line:84%
These are all reference material
for the team to use

00:05:19.780 --> 00:05:21.370 align:middle line:90%
however you wish.

00:05:21.370 --> 00:05:24.080 align:middle line:84%
Because the problem is so huge
and vast, you don't have to

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:24.910 align:middle line:90%
solve the whole problem.

00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:27.870 align:middle line:84%
You pick one thing that you're
excited about, that you're

00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:29.690 align:middle line:84%
interested about, and that you
think that you might have a

00:05:29.690 --> 00:05:31.950 align:middle line:90%
good strategy.

00:05:31.950 --> 00:05:32.940 align:middle line:90%
Do the usual brainstorm.

00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:35.277 align:middle line:84%
We're going to be going through
brainstorming and team

00:05:35.277 --> 00:05:37.980 align:middle line:84%
selection pretty much
just this week.

00:05:37.980 --> 00:05:40.540 align:middle line:90%


00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:44.445 align:middle line:84%
And try to identify some small
part that might be addressable

00:05:44.445 --> 00:05:48.205 align:middle line:84%
with a card game or a board
game, or I'll talk a little

00:05:48.205 --> 00:05:51.442 align:middle line:84%
bit about role-playing games
in a couple of weeks.

00:05:51.442 --> 00:05:54.680 align:middle line:84%
So with that being said
I'm going to turn

00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:59.000 align:middle line:90%
it over to you guys.

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.298 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: OK so we'll
try to take turns to talk

00:06:02.298 --> 00:06:08.250 align:middle line:84%
about violence in psychiatry,
in particular.

00:06:08.250 --> 00:06:12.370 align:middle line:84%
So as Jim has pointed out,
violence is a large issue.

00:06:12.370 --> 00:06:17.260 align:middle line:84%
What I'm going to try to focus
on, as I mentioned earlier,

00:06:17.260 --> 00:06:19.676 align:middle line:84%
rather than engaging with
psychiatric patients,

00:06:19.676 --> 00:06:22.634 align:middle line:84%
especially psychiatric patients
on an inpatient

00:06:22.634 --> 00:06:30.980 align:middle line:84%
program, which is where the
question for me came from.

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:36.330 align:middle line:84%
And obviously violence
can be looked at in

00:06:36.330 --> 00:06:38.280 align:middle line:90%
a variety of ways.

00:06:38.280 --> 00:06:43.596 align:middle line:84%
And I think in one of the
handouts that I sent to

00:06:43.596 --> 00:06:49.045 align:middle line:84%
Philip, Violence in Mental
Illness, they talk about the

00:06:49.045 --> 00:06:52.496 align:middle line:84%
biological, psychological
theories that the social

00:06:52.496 --> 00:06:57.919 align:middle line:84%
dimension of violence and how
it can be understood.

00:06:57.919 --> 00:07:02.370 align:middle line:84%
If you look at the human
development, and no matter

00:07:02.370 --> 00:07:04.934 align:middle line:84%
what theory you consider,
either a traditional

00:07:04.934 --> 00:07:10.000 align:middle line:84%
drive-based theory like Freud
or Erikson's stages, each

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:16.370 align:middle line:84%
seems to define a certain
developmental goal, and often,

00:07:16.370 --> 00:07:20.330 align:middle line:84%
achieving or achieving in a
faulty way that goal can

00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:24.128 align:middle line:90%
create potential for aggression

00:07:24.128 --> 00:07:26.900 align:middle line:90%
and sometimes violence.

00:07:26.900 --> 00:07:32.340 align:middle line:84%
A little child or an adult who's
dependent or needs are

00:07:32.340 --> 00:07:39.312 align:middle line:84%
frustrated may try to takeover
and get those met, in one way

00:07:39.312 --> 00:07:40.980 align:middle line:90%
or another.

00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:46.752 align:middle line:84%
So what I use as a
[UNINTELLIGIBLE] metaphor for

00:07:46.752 --> 00:07:51.750 align:middle line:84%
the origins of violence is a
communication breakdown.

00:07:51.750 --> 00:07:56.286 align:middle line:84%
At some level, something doesn't
happen right between

00:07:56.286 --> 00:08:02.130 align:middle line:84%
the person who gets angry and
those around him or her.

00:08:02.130 --> 00:08:06.080 align:middle line:84%
So in a most generic way,
basically communication is

00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:10.045 align:middle line:84%
less about who says what to
whom, than in what channel,

00:08:10.045 --> 00:08:12.440 align:middle line:90%
and with what affect.

00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:14.606 align:middle line:84%
The breakdown can occur
at many levels.

00:08:14.606 --> 00:08:18.078 align:middle line:84%
Again, this is the
generic form.

00:08:18.078 --> 00:08:19.250 align:middle line:90%
I hope I'll [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

00:08:19.250 --> 00:08:20.170 align:middle line:90%
what I mean.

00:08:20.170 --> 00:08:25.320 align:middle line:84%
And especially what can be done
at a practical level,

00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:28.644 align:middle line:84%
let's say when you are the
resident on call at night.

00:08:28.644 --> 00:08:31.787 align:middle line:84%
And the staff calls you up and
says so and so is getting out

00:08:31.787 --> 00:08:32.549 align:middle line:90%
of control.

00:08:32.549 --> 00:08:36.747 align:middle line:84%
She's raising her voice,
threatening, pounding walls,

00:08:36.747 --> 00:08:38.580 align:middle line:84%
wanting to get out, refusing
medications.

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:40.860 align:middle line:84%
How do you approach
such a person?

00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:42.780 align:middle line:84%
And again, the intervention
can happen

00:08:42.780 --> 00:08:43.500 align:middle line:90%
at different levels.

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:50.190 align:middle line:84%
And actually one goal of the
training, or potentially the

00:08:50.190 --> 00:08:54.090 align:middle line:84%
game that you might consider,
is what to do.

00:08:54.090 --> 00:08:58.390 align:middle line:84%
How do you establish when do you
engage fully, by yourself,

00:08:58.390 --> 00:09:01.670 align:middle line:84%
with outside help, when
intervention is minimal and

00:09:01.670 --> 00:09:06.560 align:middle line:84%
you just bring pens with you,
restrain the patient, use

00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:07.350 align:middle line:90%
pharmacology.

00:09:07.350 --> 00:09:08.640 align:middle line:84%
So it's a continuum
of interventions.

00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:12.038 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to just focus on
what to do when you can

00:09:12.038 --> 00:09:15.950 align:middle line:90%
actually engage the patient.

00:09:15.950 --> 00:09:21.060 align:middle line:84%
Again, continuing the metaphor
is what Walter Fisher has

00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:26.970 align:middle line:84%
described as this type of
narrative, rationality, as

00:09:26.970 --> 00:09:32.930 align:middle line:84%
opposed to the traditional
rational paradigm that defines

00:09:32.930 --> 00:09:41.190 align:middle line:84%
people as thinking beings that
actually do make decisions and

00:09:41.190 --> 00:09:43.855 align:middle line:84%
base their actions on evidential
reasoning.

00:09:43.855 --> 00:09:45.810 align:middle line:90%
Or rational people.

00:09:45.810 --> 00:09:47.016 align:middle line:90%
We analyze the situation.

00:09:47.016 --> 00:09:50.130 align:middle line:84%
We come up with the best
possible outcome.

00:09:50.130 --> 00:09:54.170 align:middle line:84%
Walter Fisher talks about that
fact that we are all

00:09:54.170 --> 00:09:58.040 align:middle line:84%
storytellers, that we try to
interact and understand others

00:09:58.040 --> 00:10:00.990 align:middle line:84%
based on the narrative
that we have about

00:10:00.990 --> 00:10:02.445 align:middle line:90%
ourselves and about others.

00:10:02.445 --> 00:10:04.870 align:middle line:84%
My assumption, and again, this
is just the introductory

00:10:04.870 --> 00:10:09.800 align:middle line:84%
metaphor if you want, that at
some point violence can be

00:10:09.800 --> 00:10:14.830 align:middle line:84%
caused by a disruption
in this narrative.

00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:16.330 align:middle line:84%
Things don't make
sense anymore.

00:10:16.330 --> 00:10:18.840 align:middle line:90%
We feel misunderstood.

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:21.650 align:middle line:84%
We feel the victim
of an injustice.

00:10:21.650 --> 00:10:25.488 align:middle line:84%
And that those principles
apply to somebody who is

00:10:25.488 --> 00:10:26.721 align:middle line:84%
struggling with a
mental illness.

00:10:26.721 --> 00:10:31.158 align:middle line:84%
Where things have a much
narrower window of opportunity

00:10:31.158 --> 00:10:34.273 align:middle line:84%
than for people who are able
to flexibly adapt to the

00:10:34.273 --> 00:10:35.523 align:middle line:90%
demands of reality.

00:10:35.523 --> 00:10:37.590 align:middle line:90%


00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:44.250 align:middle line:84%
So we all know who this is, and
the reason I put it up--

00:10:44.250 --> 00:10:48.606 align:middle line:84%
and I have to admit I haven't
looked into the copyright, I

00:10:48.606 --> 00:10:52.610 align:middle line:84%
know there are longer and longer
copyright rules for

00:10:52.610 --> 00:10:56.440 align:middle line:84%
using cartoons, so you'll
have to forgive me.

00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.820 align:middle line:84%
My point is that this
is an angry person.

00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:02.840 align:middle line:84%
And as someone who
is communicating.

00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:07.540 align:middle line:84%
I think we get quickly and
clearly the fact that his

00:11:07.540 --> 00:11:09.744 align:middle line:90%
emotional range may be intense,

00:11:09.744 --> 00:11:10.648 align:middle line:90%
but it's fairly narrow.

00:11:10.648 --> 00:11:15.200 align:middle line:84%
It doesn't cover like
a spectrum.

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.560 align:middle line:84%
And the communication
is fairly simple.

00:11:17.560 --> 00:11:18.670 align:middle line:90%
He's in distress.

00:11:18.670 --> 00:11:23.080 align:middle line:84%
He is imposing his point
of view, his space.

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:28.843 align:middle line:84%
He could become very aggressive
and assaultive.

00:11:28.843 --> 00:11:31.880 align:middle line:84%
I think that the language
is very simplistic.

00:11:31.880 --> 00:11:35.010 align:middle line:84%
How would we approach the Hulk
in trying to calm him down and

00:11:35.010 --> 00:11:36.756 align:middle line:90%
change his color?

00:11:36.756 --> 00:11:40.172 align:middle line:84%
That's the end of my
introductory metaphor.

00:11:40.172 --> 00:11:43.588 align:middle line:90%


00:11:43.588 --> 00:11:47.492 align:middle line:84%
And please, feel free to
interrupt, jump in, and make

00:11:47.492 --> 00:11:53.860 align:middle line:84%
this presentation as long or
as short as you want me to.

00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:57.430 align:middle line:84%
There are many slides, but I'm
not going to go through every

00:11:57.430 --> 00:11:58.259 align:middle line:90%
single line.

00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:01.241 align:middle line:84%
I'm just using this as a
stimulus for the conversation

00:12:01.241 --> 00:12:03.229 align:middle line:84%
especially from your
perspective

00:12:03.229 --> 00:12:05.217 align:middle line:90%
and from your needs.

00:12:05.217 --> 00:12:08.199 align:middle line:84%
As I said, I'm a clinical
provider, I'm a psychiatrist.

00:12:08.199 --> 00:12:12.843 align:middle line:84%
I deal with patients all the
time, many of whom are angry

00:12:12.843 --> 00:12:15.810 align:middle line:84%
or potentially angry or
potentially assaultive.

00:12:15.810 --> 00:12:19.715 align:middle line:84%
And I may do things after so
many years instinctively.

00:12:19.715 --> 00:12:23.042 align:middle line:84%
But sometimes I have to think
through, OK, this is the

00:12:23.042 --> 00:12:26.935 align:middle line:84%
situation, how do I do to
maximize the benefit for the

00:12:26.935 --> 00:12:29.273 align:middle line:84%
patient I'm treating and
to keep myself safe.

00:12:29.273 --> 00:12:32.908 align:middle line:84%
I've been assaulted just
once, in 15 years.

00:12:32.908 --> 00:12:36.150 align:middle line:90%
It was like in the movies.

00:12:36.150 --> 00:12:41.021 align:middle line:84%
A VA patient, former Green
Beret, who got upset with the

00:12:41.021 --> 00:12:46.865 align:middle line:84%
system, and picked up a very
heavy armchair and lifted it

00:12:46.865 --> 00:12:48.813 align:middle line:90%
above his head.

00:12:48.813 --> 00:12:52.130 align:middle line:84%
And we established
eye contact then.

00:12:52.130 --> 00:12:54.770 align:middle line:84%
I think he wondered, what should
I do with this puny

00:12:54.770 --> 00:12:55.422 align:middle line:90%
little doctor?

00:12:55.422 --> 00:12:58.120 align:middle line:90%
Should I squash him or not?

00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:02.530 align:middle line:84%
And at the end, I guess it was a
last, you know, split second

00:13:02.530 --> 00:13:05.298 align:middle line:84%
moment, he decided to
throw it to my side.

00:13:05.298 --> 00:13:09.561 align:middle line:84%
A large section of the wall came
down, so I was looking at

00:13:09.561 --> 00:13:11.780 align:middle line:84%
it wondering, well
I could have been

00:13:11.780 --> 00:13:12.766 align:middle line:90%
that wall coming down.

00:13:12.766 --> 00:13:13.259 align:middle line:90%
He ran out.

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:15.724 align:middle line:90%
It took him a while--

00:13:15.724 --> 00:13:18.190 align:middle line:84%
for people to catch
up with him.

00:13:18.190 --> 00:13:21.910 align:middle line:84%
And two cruisers full of police
officers to subdue him.

00:13:21.910 --> 00:13:25.540 align:middle line:84%
So I guess, no communication
there.

00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:27.440 align:middle line:90%
He was just subdued.

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:29.720 align:middle line:84%
What's the magnitude
of the problem?

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.160 align:middle line:90%
I think it's substantial.

00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:34.435 align:middle line:84%
And actually more than 10 years
ago, there were some

00:13:34.435 --> 00:13:41.079 align:middle line:84%
isolated reports of how
significant the problem was in

00:13:41.079 --> 00:13:42.850 align:middle line:84%
terms of the trainees, and
especially psychiatry

00:13:42.850 --> 00:13:50.724 align:middle line:84%
trainees, being the target of
verbal and physical violence.

00:13:50.724 --> 00:13:54.265 align:middle line:84%
On this first page I
talk about medical

00:13:54.265 --> 00:13:56.680 align:middle line:90%
students in one study.

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:58.612 align:middle line:90%
Numbers are relatively small.

00:13:58.612 --> 00:14:05.820 align:middle line:84%
But again, the study
is 14 years old.

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:08.790 align:middle line:84%
A survey of psychiatry residents
showed that assaults

00:14:08.790 --> 00:14:13.550 align:middle line:84%
or threats of violence are
clearly one of the most

00:14:13.550 --> 00:14:15.010 align:middle line:84%
difficult events in
their training.

00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:18.226 align:middle line:84%
And some were wondering
introspectively if this is the

00:14:18.226 --> 00:14:19.680 align:middle line:90%
right field for them.

00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:22.585 align:middle line:84%
Actually some students may
wonder reading this literature

00:14:22.585 --> 00:14:24.740 align:middle line:84%
whether psychiatry is
the right field

00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:27.620 align:middle line:90%
for them to go into.

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:35.456 align:middle line:84%
And as you see in the fourth
article, almost two-thirds of

00:14:35.456 --> 00:14:38.414 align:middle line:84%
psychiatry residents were
assaulted at least once during

00:14:38.414 --> 00:14:40.400 align:middle line:90%
their training.

00:14:40.400 --> 00:14:44.520 align:middle line:84%
And obviously like with any
dangerous situation, the risk

00:14:44.520 --> 00:14:46.925 align:middle line:84%
of post-traumatic symptoms
can be substantial.

00:14:46.925 --> 00:14:52.660 align:middle line:84%
Either acute stress response
or longer lasting issues.

00:14:52.660 --> 00:14:57.804 align:middle line:84%
The idea of improving their
training and their ability to

00:14:57.804 --> 00:15:01.850 align:middle line:84%
deal with the situation
has multiple benefits.

00:15:01.850 --> 00:15:04.523 align:middle line:84%
Those who know what
to do are never or

00:15:04.523 --> 00:15:05.490 align:middle line:90%
almost never assaulted.

00:15:05.490 --> 00:15:09.758 align:middle line:84%
Not only that, if they happened
to be exposed, the

00:15:09.758 --> 00:15:12.026 align:middle line:84%
likelihood of developing
post-traumatic goes down

00:15:12.026 --> 00:15:12.512 align:middle line:90%
significantly.

00:15:12.512 --> 00:15:16.400 align:middle line:84%
So I don't think I need
to demonstrate

00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:17.858 align:middle line:90%
that point any further.

00:15:17.858 --> 00:15:21.510 align:middle line:84%
The assault rate in a more
[UNINTELLIGIBLE] relatively

00:15:21.510 --> 00:15:26.846 align:middle line:84%
recent study, 10 years old,
pretty old, you see that

00:15:26.846 --> 00:15:31.520 align:middle line:84%
overall the number of assault
rate was 30% to 40%.

00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:34.256 align:middle line:84%
Men tended to be slightly
more physically

00:15:34.256 --> 00:15:35.714 align:middle line:90%
assaulted than women.

00:15:35.714 --> 00:15:39.602 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Can you define what
assault means, exactly?

00:15:39.602 --> 00:15:41.060 align:middle line:90%
What qualifies as assault?

00:15:41.060 --> 00:15:44.766 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Assault
basically means kind of laying

00:15:44.766 --> 00:15:46.590 align:middle line:90%
hands on the person.

00:15:46.590 --> 00:15:51.680 align:middle line:84%
And the assault resulting in
an injury, of any kind.

00:15:51.680 --> 00:15:56.890 align:middle line:84%
Skin being kind of broken
through or--

00:15:56.890 --> 00:15:59.245 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Just holding
the clinician

00:15:59.245 --> 00:16:00.335 align:middle line:90%
wouldn't be an assault?

00:16:00.335 --> 00:16:02.938 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well it would
be an assault because that

00:16:02.938 --> 00:16:08.090 align:middle line:84%
kind of grabbing action could
actually result in injury.

00:16:08.090 --> 00:16:13.614 align:middle line:84%
And I think it would be probably
very limiting to talk

00:16:13.614 --> 00:16:15.240 align:middle line:84%
only about physical injuries,
especially since the

00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:19.386 align:middle line:84%
psychological consequences are
often the longer lasting and

00:16:19.386 --> 00:16:22.230 align:middle line:90%
much more significant.

00:16:22.230 --> 00:16:25.230 align:middle line:84%
I think what the surveys have
shown also is that how

00:16:25.230 --> 00:16:29.990 align:middle line:84%
unprepared trainees in the
mental health and outside the

00:16:29.990 --> 00:16:31.150 align:middle line:84%
mental health field
are actually.

00:16:31.150 --> 00:16:34.860 align:middle line:84%
Often this is reduced to a few
lectures, especially during

00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:36.150 align:middle line:90%
orientation.

00:16:36.150 --> 00:16:40.970 align:middle line:84%
And then they are thrown into
the lion cage and they learn

00:16:40.970 --> 00:16:42.790 align:middle line:90%
on the job.

00:16:42.790 --> 00:16:47.050 align:middle line:84%
And many of these findings
are introspective.

00:16:47.050 --> 00:16:51.220 align:middle line:84%
Many trainees felt that well, I
didn't say anything, because

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:54.310 align:middle line:84%
I thought I was supposed to
toughen up and bite the bullet

00:16:54.310 --> 00:16:55.190 align:middle line:90%
and move on.

00:16:55.190 --> 00:16:58.240 align:middle line:84%
Or this is part of the job, I
chose this, it's my fault.

00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:00.050 align:middle line:84%
Or maybe I did something
wrong.

00:17:00.050 --> 00:17:03.580 align:middle line:84%
Maybe I was the one who made
it so the assault happened.

00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:09.450 align:middle line:84%
So a lot of reasons that were
just, again, not looked into.

00:17:09.450 --> 00:17:10.314 align:middle line:90%
Fear of being scrutinized.

00:17:10.314 --> 00:17:12.500 align:middle line:84%
How come that I'm
the one that was

00:17:12.500 --> 00:17:16.119 align:middle line:90%
assaulted, and not 10 trainees.

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:17.869 align:middle line:90%
How I'm going to explain this.

00:17:17.869 --> 00:17:20.324 align:middle line:84%
I was so frightened that I
cannot even remember clearly

00:17:20.324 --> 00:17:20.730 align:middle line:90%
what happened to me.

00:17:20.730 --> 00:17:22.670 align:middle line:84%
So there are a variety
of reasons why

00:17:22.670 --> 00:17:24.170 align:middle line:90%
people who are in training--

00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:28.310 align:middle line:84%
and again, I'm focusing on a
again a very small segment, a

00:17:28.310 --> 00:17:31.232 align:middle line:84%
specific group of trainees
in medical

00:17:31.232 --> 00:17:32.206 align:middle line:90%
and psychiatric training.

00:17:32.206 --> 00:17:35.615 align:middle line:84%
But I could easily think of
other situations of people who

00:17:35.615 --> 00:17:38.605 align:middle line:84%
are exposed to the potential
for violence and where such

00:17:38.605 --> 00:17:40.880 align:middle line:90%
training would be helpful.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:46.026 align:middle line:84%
Up until now, and for the most
part the data that I was able

00:17:46.026 --> 00:17:48.882 align:middle line:84%
to collect, and most people in
looking at this have been able

00:17:48.882 --> 00:17:51.270 align:middle line:90%
to collect is fairly limited.

00:17:51.270 --> 00:17:53.890 align:middle line:84%
There are certain limited
number of programs.

00:17:53.890 --> 00:17:56.760 align:middle line:84%
Methodologically the research
is quite faulty.

00:17:56.760 --> 00:18:03.160 align:middle line:84%
You can just talk about how
limited the generalizability

00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:03.965 align:middle line:90%
of the findings are.

00:18:03.965 --> 00:18:06.585 align:middle line:84%
And often people have
talked about what

00:18:06.585 --> 00:18:07.680 align:middle line:90%
happened in the past.

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.772 align:middle line:84%
So clearly the recall bias is
a major limiting factor in

00:18:11.772 --> 00:18:15.120 align:middle line:90%
understanding what happened.

00:18:15.120 --> 00:18:18.980 align:middle line:84%
Also, as Jim asked me, so how
do you define assault.

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:21.860 align:middle line:84%
One of the biggest problems
with most research in this

00:18:21.860 --> 00:18:26.774 align:middle line:84%
field is that defining assault,
aggression, is done

00:18:26.774 --> 00:18:29.330 align:middle line:90%
in very idiosyncratic ways.

00:18:29.330 --> 00:18:31.955 align:middle line:84%
It's hard to compare
different studies.

00:18:31.955 --> 00:18:34.902 align:middle line:90%


00:18:34.902 --> 00:18:39.790 align:middle line:84%
So this is a compilation of what
people in different areas

00:18:39.790 --> 00:18:42.460 align:middle line:84%
have thought about in
terms of improving

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.860 align:middle line:90%
the psychiatric training.

00:18:43.860 --> 00:18:49.886 align:middle line:84%
And as you see most often, in
the last few years, the idea

00:18:49.886 --> 00:18:56.590 align:middle line:84%
of using simulation to expose
the trainees to a protected

00:18:56.590 --> 00:19:00.320 align:middle line:84%
environment that has clearly
defined boundaries and

00:19:00.320 --> 00:19:05.297 align:middle line:84%
consequences, and basically that
can be repeated almost in

00:19:05.297 --> 00:19:09.225 align:middle line:84%
identical fashion in order to
gain proficiency, this coming

00:19:09.225 --> 00:19:12.171 align:middle line:90%
up more and more.

00:19:12.171 --> 00:19:16.410 align:middle line:84%
What many training programs
are doing is to use

00:19:16.410 --> 00:19:20.076 align:middle line:84%
standardized patients
that use actors.

00:19:20.076 --> 00:19:23.338 align:middle line:84%
And that of course
would behave in

00:19:23.338 --> 00:19:26.720 align:middle line:90%
a programmed fashion.

00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:29.810 align:middle line:84%
They make get up to you and
make fists, but hopefully

00:19:29.810 --> 00:19:32.980 align:middle line:84%
they'll not get so much into
the role and then they're

00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:33.755 align:middle line:90%
punching you.

00:19:33.755 --> 00:19:37.420 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: I think this is
the real challenge, is that

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:40.271 align:middle line:84%
there's different levels
of learning.

00:19:40.271 --> 00:19:42.320 align:middle line:84%
You can learn kind of a list of
facts, things to do if your

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:44.270 align:middle line:84%
patient starts to get agitated
and threatening.

00:19:44.270 --> 00:19:46.970 align:middle line:84%
And you can learn how to take a
test on it and forget it the

00:19:46.970 --> 00:19:49.020 align:middle line:84%
next day, especially if
it doesn't come up

00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:51.110 align:middle line:90%
for you right away.

00:19:51.110 --> 00:19:53.400 align:middle line:84%
And then there's the question
of internalizing it so you

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.380 align:middle line:84%
actually have not just kind of a
working knowledge but really

00:19:56.380 --> 00:19:58.140 align:middle line:84%
understand what you should
do in different kinds of

00:19:58.140 --> 00:19:59.540 align:middle line:90%
circumstances.

00:19:59.540 --> 00:20:03.270 align:middle line:84%
And that's where the idea of
role playing with live role

00:20:03.270 --> 00:20:04.440 align:middle line:90%
plays for the trainees--

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:06.960 align:middle line:84%
it could be residents, and
mental health providers--

00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.390 align:middle line:84%
can really be helpful so they
have some sense, some

00:20:10.390 --> 00:20:15.120 align:middle line:84%
semblance of this kind
of training.

00:20:15.120 --> 00:20:18.180 align:middle line:84%
But the tricky things with these
role plays is it's not

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:23.490 align:middle line:84%
easy to ensure that everybody
receives high quality access

00:20:23.490 --> 00:20:25.270 align:middle line:90%
to well trained actors.

00:20:25.270 --> 00:20:28.310 align:middle line:84%
Here at Harvard Medical School,
they probably do.

00:20:28.310 --> 00:20:29.610 align:middle line:90%
At UMass, they probably do.

00:20:29.610 --> 00:20:30.850 align:middle line:90%
But there's a lot of places.

00:20:30.850 --> 00:20:33.122 align:middle line:84%
And if you expand beyond
psychiatry to every mental

00:20:33.122 --> 00:20:35.560 align:middle line:84%
health center in the country,
every caseworker who is going

00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:38.720 align:middle line:84%
out to visit a patient at their
home, or social worker,

00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.310 align:middle line:84%
they're definitely not getting
this kind of training.

00:20:41.310 --> 00:20:45.510 align:middle line:84%
And so the ones who really I
think you said before are

00:20:45.510 --> 00:20:46.940 align:middle line:84%
really well trained are
the nurses, actually.

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:49.090 align:middle line:84%
Because they get a different
kind of training that's really

00:20:49.090 --> 00:20:50.980 align:middle line:84%
pretty effective,
it sounds like.

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:52.870 align:middle line:84%
But the mental health
care providers

00:20:52.870 --> 00:20:53.900 align:middle line:90%
often have no training.

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:55.980 align:middle line:84%
And then they're the ones who
are kind of in a closed room

00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:59.040 align:middle line:84%
with the person who can
become really violent.

00:20:59.040 --> 00:21:01.665 align:middle line:84%
Especially if it's at their
home, or an inpatient unit.

00:21:01.665 --> 00:21:03.750 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Jim was making
reference to that

00:21:03.750 --> 00:21:07.000 align:middle line:84%
psychiatrist at MGH who last
year was stabbed by a patient

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:08.650 align:middle line:90%
in the outpatient clinic.

00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:10.475 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: You all hear
about this last year?

00:21:10.475 --> 00:21:12.295 align:middle line:84%
Can you just describe
the situation?

00:21:12.295 --> 00:21:14.826 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well, it was
late in the evening, when most

00:21:14.826 --> 00:21:17.230 align:middle line:84%
things like this have the
potential of happening.

00:21:17.230 --> 00:21:22.620 align:middle line:84%
This was a neuro evaluation
or [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

00:21:22.620 --> 00:21:25.490 align:middle line:90%
in the Bipolar Clinic at MGH.

00:21:25.490 --> 00:21:31.333 align:middle line:84%
Basically he was angry from the
beginning and was able to

00:21:31.333 --> 00:21:32.800 align:middle line:90%
stab repeatedly.

00:21:32.800 --> 00:21:36.280 align:middle line:84%
An off guard person who just
happened to walk by.

00:21:36.280 --> 00:21:37.720 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: It was a
police officer, right?

00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:38.290 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Yeah.

00:21:38.290 --> 00:21:41.360 align:middle line:84%
He was one of the security
people for

00:21:41.360 --> 00:21:42.360 align:middle line:90%
that particular clinic.

00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:44.340 align:middle line:90%
He came and he had a gun.

00:21:44.340 --> 00:21:47.830 align:middle line:84%
I don't know how often off-duty
security people carry

00:21:47.830 --> 00:21:49.240 align:middle line:90%
their guns.

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:52.130 align:middle line:84%
But he opened and killed
the patient.

00:21:52.130 --> 00:21:55.724 align:middle line:90%
So he was charged.

00:21:55.724 --> 00:21:58.210 align:middle line:90%
Eventually was cleared.

00:21:58.210 --> 00:21:59.690 align:middle line:90%
For using excessive force.

00:21:59.690 --> 00:22:01.020 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: What happened
to the psychiatrist?

00:22:01.020 --> 00:22:03.686 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well, the
psychiatrist was admitted into

00:22:03.686 --> 00:22:07.074 align:middle line:84%
the hospital and required
extensive surgeries.

00:22:07.074 --> 00:22:10.946 align:middle line:84%
She was stabbed in the chest
and in the neck.

00:22:10.946 --> 00:22:14.095 align:middle line:84%
It was a fairly gruesome-- she
survived and I think she's

00:22:14.095 --> 00:22:14.940 align:middle line:90%
back at work.

00:22:14.940 --> 00:22:16.980 align:middle line:90%
But this is an extreme case.

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:21.450 align:middle line:84%
And I'm afraid that many of the
things that we talk about,

00:22:21.450 --> 00:22:23.800 align:middle line:84%
the principles that we may
come up with, may not

00:22:23.800 --> 00:22:28.620 align:middle line:84%
necessarily be so helpful, other
than thinking back at a

00:22:28.620 --> 00:22:29.445 align:middle line:90%
level of intervention.

00:22:29.445 --> 00:22:33.230 align:middle line:84%
It is quite conceivable that
for somebody who charges at

00:22:33.230 --> 00:22:36.066 align:middle line:84%
you, you won't be able to talk
him down, you won't be able to

00:22:36.066 --> 00:22:40.682 align:middle line:84%
use any of the nice
de-escalation principles that

00:22:40.682 --> 00:22:42.480 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to talk about
in a few minutes.

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:45.290 align:middle line:84%
But, figuring out what
do, I think it means

00:22:45.290 --> 00:22:45.982 align:middle line:90%
[UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:22:45.982 --> 00:22:50.690 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: You mentioned that
nurses have a different

00:22:50.690 --> 00:22:53.720 align:middle line:84%
training system for this, and
it seems to be effective.

00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.630 align:middle line:90%


00:22:56.630 --> 00:22:59.150 align:middle line:84%
What is that training, like what
is different about what

00:22:59.150 --> 00:23:00.386 align:middle line:90%
nurses get taught?

00:23:00.386 --> 00:23:05.420 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well, there
are some, in most states,

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:11.484 align:middle line:84%
there are some regulations that
try to implement some

00:23:11.484 --> 00:23:14.412 align:middle line:84%
level of training or are
designed specifically for

00:23:14.412 --> 00:23:17.600 align:middle line:84%
patients who get
out of control.

00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:19.430 align:middle line:84%
And that's not only
psychiatry.

00:23:19.430 --> 00:23:25.595 align:middle line:84%
Emergency room teams have
probably the most highest rate

00:23:25.595 --> 00:23:29.640 align:middle line:84%
of assaultive patients, across
diagnostic departments.

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.278 align:middle line:84%
Often psychiatric patients,
especially patients using

00:23:32.278 --> 00:23:35.530 align:middle line:84%
substance abuse, will
get out of control.

00:23:35.530 --> 00:23:39.690 align:middle line:84%
So if you want to become an
emergency physician, or if you

00:23:39.690 --> 00:23:42.649 align:middle line:84%
work in the field as an EMT or
another capacity, you'll have

00:23:42.649 --> 00:23:44.400 align:middle line:90%
to deal with these situations.

00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:50.460 align:middle line:84%
What makes the nurses somewhat
better trained is that they

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:54.032 align:middle line:84%
often are the frontline
staff dealing with

00:23:54.032 --> 00:23:55.180 align:middle line:90%
out of control patients.

00:23:55.180 --> 00:23:57.478 align:middle line:84%
And I think that's probably
pretty sad, because physicians

00:23:57.478 --> 00:24:01.350 align:middle line:84%
should be equally, and trainees,
physicians and

00:24:01.350 --> 00:24:04.254 align:middle line:84%
trainees should be equally
well trained.

00:24:04.254 --> 00:24:08.580 align:middle line:84%
But on the nursing front, there
has been some progress.

00:24:08.580 --> 00:24:11.170 align:middle line:84%
In Massachusetts, the Department
of Mental Health

00:24:11.170 --> 00:24:13.250 align:middle line:90%
has some mandatory training.

00:24:13.250 --> 00:24:17.590 align:middle line:84%
But there's a lot of red tape
there, but there a lot of

00:24:17.590 --> 00:24:20.455 align:middle line:84%
helpful aspects, including
aspects

00:24:20.455 --> 00:24:23.412 align:middle line:90%
related to stop attacks.

00:24:23.412 --> 00:24:28.410 align:middle line:84%
And I wish I could have
presented a recording of a

00:24:28.410 --> 00:24:31.270 align:middle line:90%
training session for staff.

00:24:31.270 --> 00:24:35.230 align:middle line:84%
When I went to it, I thought it
would be something like a

00:24:35.230 --> 00:24:37.593 align:middle line:84%
very spectacular kind of
kung-fu, how you do it.

00:24:37.593 --> 00:24:41.510 align:middle line:84%
When in fact, the emphasis is
how to keep yourself safe, and

00:24:41.510 --> 00:24:44.410 align:middle line:84%
believe it or not how to keep
the person safe, the person

00:24:44.410 --> 00:24:49.620 align:middle line:84%
that you're blocking the
punches, the person that may

00:24:49.620 --> 00:24:55.040 align:middle line:84%
be trying to strangle you, or
keep you in a stronghold, or

00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:57.750 align:middle line:90%
scratch you, or rip your hair.

00:24:57.750 --> 00:25:00.170 align:middle line:84%
Again, even when you're trying
to be intervene or you're

00:25:00.170 --> 00:25:03.109 align:middle line:84%
trying to protect yourself,
and keep the

00:25:03.109 --> 00:25:04.558 align:middle line:90%
other person safe.

00:25:04.558 --> 00:25:10.360 align:middle line:84%
No punching, kicking, no kind
of spectacular steps.

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:15.816 align:middle line:84%
But again, that's also I feel
could be an interesting topic

00:25:15.816 --> 00:25:17.812 align:middle line:90%
for a simulation.

00:25:17.812 --> 00:25:20.806 align:middle line:90%
How do you interact with--

00:25:20.806 --> 00:25:24.299 align:middle line:84%
especially since again
I'm a totally kind of

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:26.810 align:middle line:90%
outsider in the field.

00:25:26.810 --> 00:25:31.020 align:middle line:84%
Having kids, they were asking
me the other day about

00:25:31.020 --> 00:25:32.270 align:middle line:90%
Microsoft's Kinect.

00:25:32.270 --> 00:25:34.190 align:middle line:90%


00:25:34.190 --> 00:25:37.985 align:middle line:84%
And I thought that was really
interesting because the level

00:25:37.985 --> 00:25:43.890 align:middle line:84%
of interaction with computer
generated interfaces is very

00:25:43.890 --> 00:25:47.335 align:middle line:84%
interesting, and certainly
would be a safe bet to be

00:25:47.335 --> 00:25:50.245 align:middle line:84%
attacked by somebody
from the TV.

00:25:50.245 --> 00:25:54.530 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: It sounds like the
nurses get better training

00:25:54.530 --> 00:25:58.840 align:middle line:84%
because the states require them
to have better training.

00:25:58.840 --> 00:25:59.760 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2:
That's correct.

00:25:59.760 --> 00:26:00.680 align:middle line:90%
That's a part of it.

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.950 align:middle line:84%
I've been trying at UMass to
suggest that not only the

00:26:04.950 --> 00:26:09.930 align:middle line:84%
staff physicians get exposed to
the training but even the

00:26:09.930 --> 00:26:12.110 align:middle line:84%
psychiatry trainees and other
trainees, especially in

00:26:12.110 --> 00:26:13.270 align:middle line:90%
emergency medicine.

00:26:13.270 --> 00:26:16.204 align:middle line:84%
They should all really
know about it.

00:26:16.204 --> 00:26:18.921 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: I suspect some
of this have to do with

00:26:18.921 --> 00:26:20.156 align:middle line:84%
the benefits of being
in a union.

00:26:20.156 --> 00:26:23.614 align:middle line:84%
So a union can demand that
nurses receive this better

00:26:23.614 --> 00:26:26.084 align:middle line:84%
training, where the physicians
don't have a union.

00:26:26.084 --> 00:26:28.090 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: It's
also about numbers.

00:26:28.090 --> 00:26:31.720 align:middle line:84%
On any unit, you
have six, seven

00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:33.420 align:middle line:90%
nurses for one physician.

00:26:33.420 --> 00:26:36.400 align:middle line:84%
And the nurses are there in
shifts around the clock.

00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.686 align:middle line:84%
So their likelihood of being
exposed to an out-of-control

00:26:39.686 --> 00:26:42.320 align:middle line:90%
patient are much higher.

00:26:42.320 --> 00:26:46.380 align:middle line:84%
Usually on these units people
intervene as a team.

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:51.796 align:middle line:84%
And as a team leader that tries
to apply so many of the

00:26:51.796 --> 00:26:52.800 align:middle line:84%
principles I'm going
to talk about.

00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:57.216 align:middle line:84%
And then if there is need for
seclusion or restraints, then

00:26:57.216 --> 00:27:00.330 align:middle line:84%
that has to be done in a
coordinated fashion.

00:27:00.330 --> 00:27:02.894 align:middle line:84%
And things are much clearer,
as I said,

00:27:02.894 --> 00:27:04.630 align:middle line:90%
on the nursing front.

00:27:04.630 --> 00:27:06.340 align:middle line:84%
Maybe because they are doing
it all the time and because

00:27:06.340 --> 00:27:08.498 align:middle line:84%
there are some tight
regulations,

00:27:08.498 --> 00:27:11.942 align:middle line:90%
because they're unionized.

00:27:11.942 --> 00:27:16.472 align:middle line:84%
And at least half of the
literature really comes from

00:27:16.472 --> 00:27:17.650 align:middle line:90%
the nursing direction.

00:27:17.650 --> 00:27:23.050 align:middle line:90%
So that's a tangent.

00:27:23.050 --> 00:27:27.215 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR: Just want to ride
off the Kinect comment that

00:27:27.215 --> 00:27:28.065 align:middle line:90%
you were making.

00:27:28.065 --> 00:27:30.125 align:middle line:84%
We will be talking about a
little bit more about live

00:27:30.125 --> 00:27:33.790 align:middle line:84%
action games so that's kind of
how you prototype something

00:27:33.790 --> 00:27:37.156 align:middle line:84%
that's going to be a motion
gesture computer game.

00:27:37.156 --> 00:27:38.320 align:middle line:90%
You don't obfuscate.

00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:42.434 align:middle line:84%
Actually having to write code to
do that, that sort of body

00:27:42.434 --> 00:27:45.843 align:middle line:84%
recognition, is kind of annoying
and expensive.

00:27:45.843 --> 00:27:50.226 align:middle line:84%
But you can test off a lot of
ideas just by having two

00:27:50.226 --> 00:27:51.690 align:middle line:90%
people play with coding.

00:27:51.690 --> 00:27:54.500 align:middle line:84%
Safety becomes the biggest
concern for

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:55.530 align:middle line:90%
the players as well.

00:27:55.530 --> 00:27:58.659 align:middle line:84%
It's kind of interesting in this
particular case that you

00:27:58.659 --> 00:28:00.887 align:middle line:84%
are trying to teach someone
how to prevent

00:28:00.887 --> 00:28:04.440 align:middle line:90%
damage to both parties.

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.030 align:middle line:84%
That actually kind of
helps you with the

00:28:06.030 --> 00:28:09.050 align:middle line:90%
design a lot actually.

00:28:09.050 --> 00:28:12.145 align:middle line:90%
That's only one problem.

00:28:12.145 --> 00:28:16.065 align:middle line:84%
You'll go into more details
about the kinds of things to

00:28:16.065 --> 00:28:19.516 align:middle line:84%
prevent it escalating into
actual conflict.

00:28:19.516 --> 00:28:24.446 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: And the idea
is basically to do your best

00:28:24.446 --> 00:28:27.897 align:middle line:84%
to not end up at that particular
extreme of direct

00:28:27.897 --> 00:28:31.850 align:middle line:90%
combat, which is not--

00:28:31.850 --> 00:28:33.520 align:middle line:84%
So ideally you don't
have to go there.

00:28:33.520 --> 00:28:36.580 align:middle line:84%
And as I said in 15 years I've
been assaulted once.

00:28:36.580 --> 00:28:38.340 align:middle line:90%
I'm sure I was lucky.

00:28:38.340 --> 00:28:43.750 align:middle line:84%
People think that my eyebrows
are intimidating.

00:28:43.750 --> 00:28:50.198 align:middle line:84%
So don't tend to get very
[UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:28:50.198 --> 00:28:53.500 align:middle line:84%
Again I'm going to tell a few,
you know, tell you about a few

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:55.470 align:middle line:84%
pearls and a few tricks
that I personally use.

00:28:55.470 --> 00:29:00.010 align:middle line:84%
It may not be helpful
for everybody.

00:29:00.010 --> 00:29:02.070 align:middle line:84%
Over time, you develop
you own style.

00:29:02.070 --> 00:29:08.168 align:middle line:84%
The idea is to be able to make
an assessment and try to take

00:29:08.168 --> 00:29:09.136 align:middle line:90%
preventative steps.

00:29:09.136 --> 00:29:10.588 align:middle line:90%
And I think that's the secret.

00:29:10.588 --> 00:29:14.460 align:middle line:84%
And this is what I hope better
training may be the user

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:16.396 align:middle line:84%
simulation and gaming
would be helpful.

00:29:16.396 --> 00:29:19.300 align:middle line:90%


00:29:19.300 --> 00:29:25.010 align:middle line:84%
Now I'm going to just, I'm going
to jump into talking

00:29:25.010 --> 00:29:29.195 align:middle line:84%
about prevention and
[UNINTELLIGIBLE]

00:29:29.195 --> 00:29:32.930 align:middle line:84%
but identifying how you assess
and how you think about the

00:29:32.930 --> 00:29:34.380 align:middle line:90%
potential for violence.

00:29:34.380 --> 00:29:41.282 align:middle line:84%
And these are some known risk
factors for aggression.

00:29:41.282 --> 00:29:45.154 align:middle line:84%
Obviously the history of
violence is the top.

00:29:45.154 --> 00:29:51.132 align:middle line:84%
How recent, how frequently,
those people become

00:29:51.132 --> 00:29:52.750 align:middle line:90%
assaultive.

00:29:52.750 --> 00:29:55.210 align:middle line:84%
What's the pattern
of escalation.

00:29:55.210 --> 00:29:56.260 align:middle line:84%
What are the associated
symptoms.

00:29:56.260 --> 00:30:00.480 align:middle line:84%
What happens before somebody
becomes assaultive.

00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:02.030 align:middle line:90%
Why is this important?

00:30:02.030 --> 00:30:05.999 align:middle line:84%
Because you can do, and probably
should do before, you

00:30:05.999 --> 00:30:09.410 align:middle line:84%
engage with the patient an
assessment at that level.

00:30:09.410 --> 00:30:13.170 align:middle line:84%
And it will help you figure out
how deep to get involved,

00:30:13.170 --> 00:30:15.050 align:middle line:84%
how likely you are to
[UNINTELLIGIBLE] the patient.

00:30:15.050 --> 00:30:19.206 align:middle line:84%
Versus saying, oh, I don't need
this, I need help, let's

00:30:19.206 --> 00:30:20.454 align:middle line:90%
go in as a team.

00:30:20.454 --> 00:30:23.850 align:middle line:84%
So that-- that makes
it important.

00:30:23.850 --> 00:30:25.830 align:middle line:84%
People often talk about
violence and a rise in

00:30:25.830 --> 00:30:26.630 align:middle line:90%
tendencies.

00:30:26.630 --> 00:30:28.920 align:middle line:84%
Young people tend to
be more assaultive,

00:30:28.920 --> 00:30:30.710 align:middle line:90%
and there's no surprise.

00:30:30.710 --> 00:30:36.590 align:middle line:84%
Also older people who have
dementia and get more

00:30:36.590 --> 00:30:40.991 align:middle line:84%
disinhibited and more likely
to become reactive.

00:30:40.991 --> 00:30:43.191 align:middle line:84%
I always like to tell
the story about a

00:30:43.191 --> 00:30:43.925 align:middle line:90%
patient with dementia.

00:30:43.925 --> 00:30:47.125 align:middle line:84%
I was moonlighting, and he swung
at me as I was passing.

00:30:47.125 --> 00:30:49.065 align:middle line:84%
And then I went to
talk to him.

00:30:49.065 --> 00:30:52.680 align:middle line:84%
Well, I don't know, you just
passed by, and I was upset,

00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:53.800 align:middle line:90%
and you were the closest.

00:30:53.800 --> 00:30:56.790 align:middle line:90%
So I thought I would try to--

00:30:56.790 --> 00:31:01.320 align:middle line:84%
So there was no way for
me to predict that.

00:31:01.320 --> 00:31:05.336 align:middle line:84%
It wasn't a serious thing, it
wasn't a predatory type of

00:31:05.336 --> 00:31:07.292 align:middle line:84%
assaultiveness where
somebody plans.

00:31:07.292 --> 00:31:10.715 align:middle line:84%
Doesn't like you,
goes after you.

00:31:10.715 --> 00:31:15.116 align:middle line:84%
A colleague of mine was
attacked by a patient.

00:31:15.116 --> 00:31:19.517 align:middle line:84%
The patient watched when people
were not around, went

00:31:19.517 --> 00:31:22.290 align:middle line:84%
into the doctors room,
locked the

00:31:22.290 --> 00:31:24.160 align:middle line:90%
door, and started punching.

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:26.684 align:middle line:84%
So that's a totally
different animal.

00:31:26.684 --> 00:31:29.521 align:middle line:84%
So the distinction between
impulsive, affective if you

00:31:29.521 --> 00:31:36.710 align:middle line:84%
want or the type of aggression
and the predatory is essential

00:31:36.710 --> 00:31:39.640 align:middle line:90%
to keep in mind.

00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:48.080 align:middle line:84%
In some subcultures, violence is
not allowed certainly much

00:31:48.080 --> 00:31:49.020 align:middle line:90%
more frequent.

00:31:49.020 --> 00:31:53.322 align:middle line:84%
People of a lower socioeconomic
status may be

00:31:53.322 --> 00:31:56.160 align:middle line:84%
more likely to become
assaultive.

00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:59.035 align:middle line:84%
Patients of a limited cognitive
ability, especially

00:31:59.035 --> 00:32:02.899 align:middle line:84%
when institutionalized, are
way more likely to become

00:32:02.899 --> 00:32:03.382 align:middle line:90%
assaultive.

00:32:03.382 --> 00:32:07.725 align:middle line:84%
And then it's many, many
diagnoses increase the

00:32:07.725 --> 00:32:09.705 align:middle line:90%
likelihood of assaultiveness.

00:32:09.705 --> 00:32:13.170 align:middle line:84%
The top are psychotic disorders,
like schizophrenia.

00:32:13.170 --> 00:32:18.120 align:middle line:90%
Mood disorders like bipolar.

00:32:18.120 --> 00:32:22.390 align:middle line:84%
I told you about what we call
cognitive disorders,

00:32:22.390 --> 00:32:26.460 align:middle line:84%
especially dementia and
confusional states.

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:30.080 align:middle line:84%
Patients that have had traumatic
brain injuries or

00:32:30.080 --> 00:32:32.966 align:middle line:90%
that have had epilepsy.

00:32:32.966 --> 00:32:35.852 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: There's a
real problem with Iraq or

00:32:35.852 --> 00:32:39.410 align:middle line:84%
Afghanistan veterans, when they
have had an IE explode

00:32:39.410 --> 00:32:40.540 align:middle line:90%
under their vehicle.

00:32:40.540 --> 00:32:42.660 align:middle line:90%
And they had a brain injury.

00:32:42.660 --> 00:32:44.750 align:middle line:84%
Now they have a lot of
disinhibition about violence.

00:32:44.750 --> 00:32:48.745 align:middle line:84%
And they can just go off
sometimes very unexpectedly.

00:32:48.745 --> 00:32:51.730 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: The frontal
lobe exerts a sort of

00:32:51.730 --> 00:32:57.370 align:middle line:84%
inhibitory influence on our
ability to function.

00:32:57.370 --> 00:33:00.350 align:middle line:84%
And that allows us
to plan, to think

00:33:00.350 --> 00:33:03.200 align:middle line:90%
ahead, to sequence events.

00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:07.000 align:middle line:84%
This is the executive function
of our frontal lobe.

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:11.864 align:middle line:84%
When it's impaired either in a
trauma, or after surgery, or

00:33:11.864 --> 00:33:16.256 align:middle line:84%
being in an accident, or
becoming demented, that

00:33:16.256 --> 00:33:22.112 align:middle line:84%
ability to operate in that
fashion may be impaired.

00:33:22.112 --> 00:33:25.040 align:middle line:84%
Violence is a possible
side effect.

00:33:25.040 --> 00:33:28.330 align:middle line:84%
Substance abuse are at the top
of the list, because of the

00:33:28.330 --> 00:33:33.412 align:middle line:84%
disinhibition, both during the
intoxication phase and during

00:33:33.412 --> 00:33:36.085 align:middle line:84%
the withdrawal people tend to
become very agitated and

00:33:36.085 --> 00:33:37.800 align:middle line:90%
assaultive.

00:33:37.800 --> 00:33:41.668 align:middle line:84%
There are certain personality
disorders.

00:33:41.668 --> 00:33:46.840 align:middle line:84%
So when we think about the
percentage order, we have this

00:33:46.840 --> 00:33:51.315 align:middle line:84%
enduring maladaptive patterns
of relating to you and to

00:33:51.315 --> 00:33:53.428 align:middle line:90%
others and to the world.

00:33:53.428 --> 00:33:56.886 align:middle line:84%
The obsessive compulsive
personality disorder likes to

00:33:56.886 --> 00:33:58.862 align:middle line:84%
have things organized,
planned.

00:33:58.862 --> 00:34:01.002 align:middle line:84%
Nothing-- even going
on vacation is

00:34:01.002 --> 00:34:01.826 align:middle line:90%
an exhausting task.

00:34:01.826 --> 00:34:05.165 align:middle line:84%
Nothing has to happen
randomly.

00:34:05.165 --> 00:34:09.690 align:middle line:84%
The grandiose personalities
really need this kind of

00:34:09.690 --> 00:34:12.550 align:middle line:84%
feeling coming from
all directions.

00:34:12.550 --> 00:34:15.210 align:middle line:84%
They need to be in
the limelight.

00:34:15.210 --> 00:34:19.370 align:middle line:84%
They use people, not as real
people but as people that

00:34:19.370 --> 00:34:23.320 align:middle line:84%
provide sustenance to their
own self esteem.

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:27.844 align:middle line:84%
Two type of personality
disorders are particularly

00:34:27.844 --> 00:34:31.630 align:middle line:90%
likely to promote violence.

00:34:31.630 --> 00:34:37.340 align:middle line:84%
The antisocial and you may have
heard the term borderline

00:34:37.340 --> 00:34:40.723 align:middle line:84%
personality disorder, which
is basically at core has

00:34:40.723 --> 00:34:43.675 align:middle line:84%
significant instability and
emotions and interpersonal

00:34:43.675 --> 00:34:49.579 align:middle line:84%
relationships and identity
and basically

00:34:49.579 --> 00:34:51.750 align:middle line:90%
their lives are a mess.

00:34:51.750 --> 00:34:55.260 align:middle line:84%
Often they feel abandoned,
they feel put down.

00:34:55.260 --> 00:34:59.504 align:middle line:84%
They may get briefly paranoid
and often they become

00:34:59.504 --> 00:35:00.390 align:middle line:90%
assaultive.

00:35:00.390 --> 00:35:04.360 align:middle line:84%
So again, I'm throwing
a lot of terms and

00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:05.320 align:middle line:90%
definitions at you.

00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:10.803 align:middle line:84%
I don't want to make this a
lecture about psychiatry.

00:35:10.803 --> 00:35:14.033 align:middle line:84%
But these are conditions
that I think are

00:35:14.033 --> 00:35:15.276 align:middle line:90%
helpful to think about.

00:35:15.276 --> 00:35:19.252 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: When people with
delusional disorders like

00:35:19.252 --> 00:35:22.731 align:middle line:84%
schizophrenia get violent, is
it usually because they are

00:35:22.731 --> 00:35:24.719 align:middle line:84%
frustrated about something or
is it because they suddenly

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:27.701 align:middle line:84%
have some sort of delusion about
their clinician that

00:35:27.701 --> 00:35:30.925 align:middle line:84%
involves requiring them to take
some sort of action that

00:35:30.925 --> 00:35:31.875 align:middle line:90%
is violent?

00:35:31.875 --> 00:35:33.150 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: I think both.

00:35:33.150 --> 00:35:37.086 align:middle line:84%
I think even people that have a
psychotic disorder have the

00:35:37.086 --> 00:35:40.040 align:middle line:84%
right to feel the victim
of an injustice or

00:35:40.040 --> 00:35:41.650 align:middle line:90%
feel frustrated or--

00:35:41.650 --> 00:35:44.437 align:middle line:84%
many of the reasons that I
talked about could happen.

00:35:44.437 --> 00:35:49.427 align:middle line:84%
But in particular,
I think the other

00:35:49.427 --> 00:35:50.425 align:middle line:90%
point is equally important.

00:35:50.425 --> 00:35:52.920 align:middle line:84%
That they may act on a
delusional conviction.

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:59.820 align:middle line:84%
Or their psychosis may also
have hallucinations.

00:35:59.820 --> 00:36:04.733 align:middle line:84%
And command auditory
hallucinations are known to

00:36:04.733 --> 00:36:07.840 align:middle line:84%
often be the forerunners
of a violent attack.

00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.720 align:middle line:84%
You talk about me
and say things.

00:36:10.720 --> 00:36:14.810 align:middle line:84%
Or the voice tells me, I'm
going to go after you.

00:36:14.810 --> 00:36:21.310 align:middle line:84%
And the person feels hopeless
to resist that.

00:36:21.310 --> 00:36:24.210 align:middle line:84%
I discharged a patient,
was doing great.

00:36:24.210 --> 00:36:25.870 align:middle line:90%
Next day he comes back.

00:36:25.870 --> 00:36:30.060 align:middle line:84%
Went home, the voice told him
that he needs to hurt his

00:36:30.060 --> 00:36:33.490 align:middle line:84%
mother, otherwise he'll
get disemboweled.

00:36:33.490 --> 00:36:37.360 align:middle line:84%
So he started punching her and
then chased her with a knife.

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:42.137 align:middle line:84%
She had to hide in a neighbor's
house until the

00:36:42.137 --> 00:36:43.530 align:middle line:90%
police arrived.

00:36:43.530 --> 00:36:47.836 align:middle line:84%
There is an interesting threat
control override here that

00:36:47.836 --> 00:36:52.130 align:middle line:84%
people who have looked at
violence have prescribed as

00:36:52.130 --> 00:36:56.340 align:middle line:84%
being sometimes the proximal
cause for violence.

00:36:56.340 --> 00:36:59.423 align:middle line:84%
People feel directly
threatened.

00:36:59.423 --> 00:37:05.345 align:middle line:84%
And they also have this
overpowering urge that they

00:37:05.345 --> 00:37:08.110 align:middle line:84%
need to act on that they
cannot resist.

00:37:08.110 --> 00:37:09.450 align:middle line:90%
It's a controversial concept.

00:37:09.450 --> 00:37:12.190 align:middle line:84%
I'm not so sure why we should
give this particular

00:37:12.190 --> 00:37:16.492 align:middle line:84%
association a higher status
than other delusional

00:37:16.492 --> 00:37:20.420 align:middle line:84%
convictions about the neighbors
watching me or

00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:23.240 align:middle line:84%
planning to kill me, or putting
together a variety of

00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:28.330 align:middle line:84%
clues that my friends are really
trying to get rid of me

00:37:28.330 --> 00:37:29.530 align:middle line:84%
and then I need to
protect myself.

00:37:29.530 --> 00:37:31.230 align:middle line:90%
But you are absolutely right.

00:37:31.230 --> 00:37:34.890 align:middle line:84%
What's interesting even though
patients with 20 psychiatric

00:37:34.890 --> 00:37:38.680 align:middle line:84%
disorders may have their reasons
to become assaultive,

00:37:38.680 --> 00:37:41.780 align:middle line:84%
in the overall bigger scheme
of things, when you look at

00:37:41.780 --> 00:37:46.240 align:middle line:84%
actual violent assaults
committed in society, they're

00:37:46.240 --> 00:37:48.270 align:middle line:90%
responsible for a tiny one.

00:37:48.270 --> 00:37:52.343 align:middle line:84%
So it's an interesting way
of looking at numbers.

00:37:52.343 --> 00:37:57.170 align:middle line:84%
Yes they could become violent,
but the reality is that their

00:37:57.170 --> 00:38:00.130 align:middle line:84%
numbers, the actual violent
acts, are very small.

00:38:00.130 --> 00:38:04.906 align:middle line:84%
But anyway this may just be a
kind of statistical trick.

00:38:04.906 --> 00:38:07.997 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: You're talking about
the number of cases of violent

00:38:07.997 --> 00:38:11.495 align:middle line:84%
episodes compared to the
general population.

00:38:11.495 --> 00:38:12.120 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Exactly.

00:38:12.120 --> 00:38:15.600 align:middle line:84%
That's exactly the problem
right there.

00:38:15.600 --> 00:38:19.505 align:middle line:84%
And then there are various
acute findings when you

00:38:19.505 --> 00:38:20.960 align:middle line:90%
examine the patient.

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:23.870 align:middle line:84%
On what we call the mental
status examination.

00:38:23.870 --> 00:38:26.295 align:middle line:84%
Obviously, hostilities,
suspiciousness, agitation are

00:38:26.295 --> 00:38:28.235 align:middle line:90%
all associated with violence.

00:38:28.235 --> 00:38:35.220 align:middle line:90%


00:38:35.220 --> 00:38:38.630 align:middle line:84%
I want us to focus one minute
on the so-called aggressive

00:38:38.630 --> 00:38:48.527 align:middle line:84%
attributional style, how do we
respond to stress when we have

00:38:48.527 --> 00:38:51.960 align:middle line:90%
a perception of threat.

00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:57.927 align:middle line:84%
This is the threat override
delusion that I mentioned.

00:38:57.927 --> 00:38:59.899 align:middle line:90%
I think that's quite relevant.

00:38:59.899 --> 00:39:02.860 align:middle line:90%


00:39:02.860 --> 00:39:06.690 align:middle line:84%
What happens in conditions of
uncertainty, and many of these

00:39:06.690 --> 00:39:10.930 align:middle line:84%
patients may have to think
in a distorted fashion.

00:39:10.930 --> 00:39:16.690 align:middle line:84%
I was talking at the
beginning about the

00:39:16.690 --> 00:39:19.380 align:middle line:90%
communication breakdown.

00:39:19.380 --> 00:39:22.132 align:middle line:84%
You have the layer of the mental
illness that shrinks

00:39:22.132 --> 00:39:22.910 align:middle line:90%
your options.

00:39:22.910 --> 00:39:25.640 align:middle line:84%
You have a particular situation
to deal with that

00:39:25.640 --> 00:39:30.850 align:middle line:84%
makes you even more likely
to become assaulted.

00:39:30.850 --> 00:39:34.215 align:middle line:84%
And this constellation of
cognitive distortions may make

00:39:34.215 --> 00:39:37.400 align:middle line:84%
it more likely for you
to become assaulted.

00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.400 align:middle line:84%
Neglecting the base information,
which assigns a

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:45.960 align:middle line:84%
high weight to certain events
that otherwise are low

00:39:45.960 --> 00:39:52.360 align:middle line:84%
frequency, attending only to
facts that would confirm your

00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:55.510 align:middle line:90%
assumptions, I think--

00:39:55.510 --> 00:39:59.040 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: So if the
psychiatrist's office calls to

00:39:59.040 --> 00:40:02.350 align:middle line:84%
reschedule an appointment, the
person assumes that this is

00:40:02.350 --> 00:40:04.820 align:middle line:84%
because the psychiatrist
doesn't like him.

00:40:04.820 --> 00:40:07.850 align:middle line:84%
This person doesn't want to
treat me, they don't like me,

00:40:07.850 --> 00:40:09.350 align:middle line:84%
they don't want me to be their
patient because they

00:40:09.350 --> 00:40:10.785 align:middle line:90%
rescheduled me.

00:40:10.785 --> 00:40:13.720 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Ignoring facts
that could disconfirm

00:40:13.720 --> 00:40:16.440 align:middle line:90%
your hypothesis.

00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:19.649 align:middle line:84%
I just talked to the
psychiatrist who was nice to

00:40:19.649 --> 00:40:23.450 align:middle line:84%
me, but still the fact that he
called and canceled is the

00:40:23.450 --> 00:40:26.530 align:middle line:84%
overriding explanation that
he doesn't like me.

00:40:26.530 --> 00:40:30.875 align:middle line:84%
Or focusing on common events
just because you remember

00:40:30.875 --> 00:40:33.920 align:middle line:84%
them, which is an interesting
way of explaining.

00:40:33.920 --> 00:40:36.050 align:middle line:84%
The fact that you remember
them and it brings

00:40:36.050 --> 00:40:38.135 align:middle line:90%
them up in the rack.

00:40:38.135 --> 00:40:40.510 align:middle line:84%
And other disconfirming
evidence is

00:40:40.510 --> 00:40:42.885 align:middle line:90%
totally kind of ignored.

00:40:42.885 --> 00:40:45.270 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: In spite the
assumption that the train on

00:40:45.270 --> 00:40:47.420 align:middle line:84%
the other platform always
seems to arrive first.

00:40:47.420 --> 00:40:50.354 align:middle line:84%
Because those are the
ones you remember.

00:40:50.354 --> 00:40:52.310 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Or the
garden variety, the

00:40:52.310 --> 00:40:55.740 align:middle line:90%
grass is always greener.

00:40:55.740 --> 00:40:59.450 align:middle line:84%
And I talked about medications
and street drugs.

00:40:59.450 --> 00:41:01.220 align:middle line:84%
Some are more likely
to be associated.

00:41:01.220 --> 00:41:03.300 align:middle line:84%
Alcohol just by the
sheer volume.

00:41:03.300 --> 00:41:06.800 align:middle line:84%
And especially because
withdrawal is so violent.

00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:08.335 align:middle line:90%
It's a significant issue.

00:41:08.335 --> 00:41:12.530 align:middle line:84%
The intoxication phase, your
level of coordination, your

00:41:12.530 --> 00:41:17.110 align:middle line:84%
perception of facts, it's just
they're so off that you are

00:41:17.110 --> 00:41:19.156 align:middle line:90%
more likely to lose control.

00:41:19.156 --> 00:41:24.336 align:middle line:84%
Antidepressants have an
interesting impact, because in

00:41:24.336 --> 00:41:27.136 align:middle line:84%
people that have an underlying
tendency to swing in their

00:41:27.136 --> 00:41:29.100 align:middle line:84%
moods may actually all
[? blend those ?] things.

00:41:29.100 --> 00:41:34.460 align:middle line:84%
You may have heard of the news
of antidepressants promoting

00:41:34.460 --> 00:41:37.700 align:middle line:84%
violence and suicide
in adolescents.

00:41:37.700 --> 00:41:40.320 align:middle line:84%
And while statisticians are
still scratching their heads

00:41:40.320 --> 00:41:44.260 align:middle line:84%
to figure out the exact numbers,
the truth is that

00:41:44.260 --> 00:41:48.183 align:middle line:84%
mood is very unstable
in adolescents.

00:41:48.183 --> 00:41:51.350 align:middle line:84%
And often initial depression
may turn out to

00:41:51.350 --> 00:41:52.670 align:middle line:90%
be something else.

00:41:52.670 --> 00:41:55.310 align:middle line:84%
You give somebody an
antidepressant, call him or

00:41:55.310 --> 00:41:57.240 align:middle line:84%
her for followup in six
or eight months.

00:41:57.240 --> 00:41:59.480 align:middle line:84%
In the meanwhile, lots of
things could happen.

00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.484 align:middle line:84%
And I think in those cases,
when actually those young

00:42:02.484 --> 00:42:07.600 align:middle line:84%
adolescents committed suicide,
it was not so much about

00:42:07.600 --> 00:42:09.010 align:middle line:90%
antidepressants causing it.

00:42:09.010 --> 00:42:11.595 align:middle line:84%
Probably the antidepressants
made the symptoms worse.

00:42:11.595 --> 00:42:14.270 align:middle line:84%
It was very poor followup
and poor diagnostic.

00:42:14.270 --> 00:42:18.950 align:middle line:84%
But anyway, this is getting
too technical.

00:42:18.950 --> 00:42:20.400 align:middle line:90%
I included this last minute.

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:26.530 align:middle line:84%
This is an interesting summary
of a nationwide study focusing

00:42:26.530 --> 00:42:30.900 align:middle line:90%
on violence risk assessment.

00:42:30.900 --> 00:42:37.454 align:middle line:84%
Let me just take two minutes
about useful measures in

00:42:37.454 --> 00:42:39.440 align:middle line:84%
assessing dynamic
to the violence.

00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:43.130 align:middle line:84%
People have looked at violence
in two ways.

00:42:43.130 --> 00:42:45.990 align:middle line:84%
They have put together
all those factors

00:42:45.990 --> 00:42:47.530 align:middle line:90%
that I presented initially.

00:42:47.530 --> 00:42:53.053 align:middle line:84%
And they have looked at the
perspective of those who have

00:42:53.053 --> 00:42:53.210 align:middle line:90%
become violent.

00:42:53.210 --> 00:42:56.040 align:middle line:84%
And they compiled the
history, clinical

00:42:56.040 --> 00:42:58.130 align:middle line:90%
risk assessment scale.

00:42:58.130 --> 00:43:00.430 align:middle line:84%
The problem is that when you're
dealing with somebody,

00:43:00.430 --> 00:43:03.530 align:middle line:84%
those scales, even though they
may give you a good image of

00:43:03.530 --> 00:43:06.950 align:middle line:84%
what happens in the long run,
they may not help you deal

00:43:06.950 --> 00:43:08.490 align:middle line:90%
with the immediate situation.

00:43:08.490 --> 00:43:12.910 align:middle line:84%
So clinical scales have been
used in [UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:43:12.910 --> 00:43:16.210 align:middle line:84%
One developed in Norway, the
other one, the dynamic

00:43:16.210 --> 00:43:17.860 align:middle line:84%
appraisal, developed
in Australia.

00:43:17.860 --> 00:43:21.325 align:middle line:84%
These are the items
for the HCR-20.

00:43:21.325 --> 00:43:25.550 align:middle line:84%
And it's almost like a
repetition of what I said

00:43:25.550 --> 00:43:26.570 align:middle line:84%
earlier in terms of
risk factors.

00:43:26.570 --> 00:43:28.750 align:middle line:84%
This is the historical
risk factors.

00:43:28.750 --> 00:43:30.780 align:middle line:84%
And these are validated, because
they have been used

00:43:30.780 --> 00:43:33.410 align:middle line:90%
for more than 15 years.

00:43:33.410 --> 00:43:38.540 align:middle line:84%
The clinical scale is the
dynamic part of the HCR.

00:43:38.540 --> 00:43:41.480 align:middle line:84%
And then the risk management
scale is trying to project in

00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:45.710 align:middle line:84%
the future what you have to do
in order to ensure safety,

00:43:45.710 --> 00:43:47.400 align:middle line:90%
what could go wrong.

00:43:47.400 --> 00:43:49.850 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: So the value
of these scales is kind of

00:43:49.850 --> 00:43:54.490 align:middle line:84%
sizing up the likelihood of this
person coming violent, in

00:43:54.490 --> 00:43:55.790 align:middle line:84%
the absence of other
information.

00:43:55.790 --> 00:43:58.280 align:middle line:84%
The best predictor is probably
what they're actually doing

00:43:58.280 --> 00:44:00.200 align:middle line:90%
behaviorally in front of you.

00:44:00.200 --> 00:44:05.220 align:middle line:84%
They're reaching for something
heavy, I take that in and

00:44:05.220 --> 00:44:07.510 align:middle line:90%
weigh that heavily.

00:44:07.510 --> 00:44:09.580 align:middle line:84%
But in the absence of anything
else, you know that the people

00:44:09.580 --> 00:44:15.365 align:middle line:84%
who meet a certain profile are
more likely to be violent as a

00:44:15.365 --> 00:44:16.960 align:middle line:84%
psychiatric patient
than others.

00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.477 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: This is a
dynamic scale that looks at

00:44:19.477 --> 00:44:22.960 align:middle line:84%
what happens in front of you,
as you pointed out.

00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:25.950 align:middle line:84%
You're considering confusion
or debility, how boisterous

00:44:25.950 --> 00:44:28.960 align:middle line:84%
and how verbally threatening
the person is.

00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:32.360 align:middle line:84%
The most recent one is the
dynamic appraisal of the

00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:36.030 align:middle line:84%
situation aggression that has
seven factors that seems to be

00:44:36.030 --> 00:44:38.330 align:middle line:90%
the best one [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

00:44:38.330 --> 00:44:40.120 align:middle line:84%
assessment or prediction
of violence

00:44:40.120 --> 00:44:43.950 align:middle line:90%
over the next 24 hours.

00:44:43.950 --> 00:44:50.028 align:middle line:84%
And this is an interesting
psychopathy and an index.

00:44:50.028 --> 00:44:53.300 align:middle line:84%
Psychopathy has an interesting
history.

00:44:53.300 --> 00:44:58.700 align:middle line:84%
I think the current version
that we all talk about is

00:44:58.700 --> 00:45:00.090 align:middle line:90%
antisocial personality.

00:45:00.090 --> 00:45:04.860 align:middle line:84%
But basically refers to people
with minimal capacity for

00:45:04.860 --> 00:45:08.840 align:middle line:84%
empathy, whose moral dimensions
is fairly

00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:13.985 align:middle line:84%
primitive, who engage in
stealing, cheating, violence,

00:45:13.985 --> 00:45:19.320 align:middle line:84%
and don't have a lot of moral
drawbacks to do it.

00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:22.686 align:middle line:84%
It seems to be associated with
violence, not surprisingly.

00:45:22.686 --> 00:45:27.700 align:middle line:84%
And this is actually a factor
analysis that identifies those

00:45:27.700 --> 00:45:30.860 align:middle line:90%
two dimensions.

00:45:30.860 --> 00:45:36.560 align:middle line:84%
Now just at the end I want to
talk about the de-escalation

00:45:36.560 --> 00:45:42.370 align:middle line:84%
principles that I am actually
now trying to incorporate in

00:45:42.370 --> 00:45:48.500 align:middle line:84%
the standardized patients,
because these should be fairly

00:45:48.500 --> 00:45:54.060 align:middle line:84%
easy to at least present, and
then maybe hopefully to teach

00:45:54.060 --> 00:45:56.892 align:middle line:84%
the residents how to use
in terms of dealing

00:45:56.892 --> 00:45:57.850 align:middle line:90%
with agitated patients.

00:45:57.850 --> 00:46:04.654 align:middle line:84%
So actually many of them
are used by staff.

00:46:04.654 --> 00:46:09.630 align:middle line:84%
How to start interaction
with a violent patient.

00:46:09.630 --> 00:46:11.690 align:middle line:90%
How to position yourself.

00:46:11.690 --> 00:46:14.560 align:middle line:90%
Within arm's length.

00:46:14.560 --> 00:46:17.930 align:middle line:90%
Probably at 45 degrees.

00:46:17.930 --> 00:46:20.170 align:middle line:90%
For two reasons.

00:46:20.170 --> 00:46:25.250 align:middle line:84%
One, in case you're attacked,
to offer a much smaller

00:46:25.250 --> 00:46:28.990 align:middle line:84%
surface of the impact and also
to allow you a way to escape,

00:46:28.990 --> 00:46:31.910 align:middle line:90%
you have to.

00:46:31.910 --> 00:46:34.170 align:middle line:84%
Not obviously to block
the exit door.

00:46:34.170 --> 00:46:37.490 align:middle line:84%
Stand over if the person is
leaning down or in the bed.

00:46:37.490 --> 00:46:39.870 align:middle line:90%
Never turn your back.

00:46:39.870 --> 00:46:41.750 align:middle line:84%
What to do with you
your hands.

00:46:41.750 --> 00:46:44.840 align:middle line:84%
Never make fists, or kind of
keep your arms crossed, or

00:46:44.840 --> 00:46:50.840 align:middle line:84%
behind you, or in your pockets,
to kind of appear as

00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:52.770 align:middle line:90%
nonthreatening as possible.

00:46:52.770 --> 00:46:55.535 align:middle line:84%
How to regulate the
eye contact.

00:46:55.535 --> 00:46:58.325 align:middle line:84%
If it's too intense, it
can become bothersome.

00:46:58.325 --> 00:47:02.915 align:middle line:84%
If it lacks completely, then
people could conclude that you

00:47:02.915 --> 00:47:05.682 align:middle line:84%
are not really interested
or involved.

00:47:05.682 --> 00:47:08.490 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: The thing
that's important to keep in

00:47:08.490 --> 00:47:11.910 align:middle line:84%
mind with a psychiatric
patient is,

00:47:11.910 --> 00:47:12.670 align:middle line:90%
well, a couple things.

00:47:12.670 --> 00:47:16.930 align:middle line:84%
One is that mental health
patients are much more likely

00:47:16.930 --> 00:47:18.670 align:middle line:84%
to be the victims
of violence than

00:47:18.670 --> 00:47:19.370 align:middle line:90%
actually to commit violence.

00:47:19.370 --> 00:47:22.490 align:middle line:84%
And this is really the outlier,
the unusual case

00:47:22.490 --> 00:47:25.340 align:middle line:84%
where the psychiatric patient
becomes violent.

00:47:25.340 --> 00:47:27.240 align:middle line:84%
But obviously it's an
important situation.

00:47:27.240 --> 00:47:30.090 align:middle line:84%
It does happen frequently enough
to be a real concern

00:47:30.090 --> 00:47:32.364 align:middle line:84%
for the providers, for
their well being.

00:47:32.364 --> 00:47:39.810 align:middle line:90%


00:47:39.810 --> 00:47:41.980 align:middle line:84%
Basically there's different
levels of what you have to

00:47:41.980 --> 00:47:43.150 align:middle line:90%
understand how to do.

00:47:43.150 --> 00:47:46.135 align:middle line:84%
One, how to protect yourself,
and then two, how to protect

00:47:46.135 --> 00:47:46.410 align:middle line:90%
the patient.

00:47:46.410 --> 00:47:50.752 align:middle line:84%
It's almost like if your child
who's 11 years old comes at

00:47:50.752 --> 00:47:53.440 align:middle line:84%
you swinging, it's really
different than if you're

00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:54.710 align:middle line:84%
getting bumped on the subway
in terms of what

00:47:54.710 --> 00:47:56.060 align:middle line:90%
you're going to do.

00:47:56.060 --> 00:47:58.370 align:middle line:84%
Now the person who's sitting in
your office might be a lot

00:47:58.370 --> 00:47:59.160 align:middle line:90%
bigger than your 11 year old.

00:47:59.160 --> 00:48:00.240 align:middle line:90%
But you kind of get the idea.

00:48:00.240 --> 00:48:04.982 align:middle line:84%
You're not trying to punish
them, you're not trying to

00:48:04.982 --> 00:48:08.790 align:middle line:84%
inflict any more harm on them
than is absolutely needed in

00:48:08.790 --> 00:48:11.306 align:middle line:84%
order to stop the situation
and for you to get

00:48:11.306 --> 00:48:13.176 align:middle line:90%
out, or let them out.

00:48:13.176 --> 00:48:13.940 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Yes.

00:48:13.940 --> 00:48:15.480 align:middle line:84%
And that's important,
and that's somewhat

00:48:15.480 --> 00:48:16.730 align:middle line:90%
counter-intuitive.

00:48:16.730 --> 00:48:20.450 align:middle line:90%


00:48:20.450 --> 00:48:22.906 align:middle line:84%
I'm just thinking, I'm trying to
think in terms of potential

00:48:22.906 --> 00:48:28.870 align:middle line:84%
simulation, and targets for
our training paradigm.

00:48:28.870 --> 00:48:33.874 align:middle line:84%
I think an important aspect is
for the person who is going to

00:48:33.874 --> 00:48:36.075 align:middle line:84%
the training to understand
himself or herself.

00:48:36.075 --> 00:48:38.779 align:middle line:84%
How what's the reaction when
you are threatened.

00:48:38.779 --> 00:48:41.500 align:middle line:84%
And how to continue to
think on your feet.

00:48:41.500 --> 00:48:44.920 align:middle line:84%
And take decisions that are not
based on a flight or fight

00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:48.880 align:middle line:90%
or tend and befriend attitude.

00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:52.840 align:middle line:84%
This is not about dealing
with a common situation.

00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.810 align:middle line:84%
This is when you have to
maintain your ability to

00:48:55.810 --> 00:48:58.955 align:middle line:84%
remain therapeutic and helpful
and to minimize harm to

00:48:58.955 --> 00:49:02.470 align:middle line:84%
yourself and certainly harm
to the other person.

00:49:02.470 --> 00:49:04.900 align:middle line:84%
And the truth of the matter is
that many people in these

00:49:04.900 --> 00:49:11.340 align:middle line:84%
situations react the way that
they've always done.

00:49:11.340 --> 00:49:15.540 align:middle line:84%
I gave Jim the example of a
social worker I work with, who

00:49:15.540 --> 00:49:19.660 align:middle line:84%
every time when she is
confronted by a patient, she

00:49:19.660 --> 00:49:24.633 align:middle line:84%
gets angry and she gets
defensive and tells things to

00:49:24.633 --> 00:49:26.820 align:middle line:90%
her that I find are hurtful.

00:49:26.820 --> 00:49:29.710 align:middle line:84%
And they are just adding
gas to the fire.

00:49:29.710 --> 00:49:31.640 align:middle line:84%
I need to intervene because
you feel that it's almost

00:49:31.640 --> 00:49:33.850 align:middle line:84%
like, you know, I'm
there to umpire.

00:49:33.850 --> 00:49:35.010 align:middle line:90%
OK, time out.

00:49:35.010 --> 00:49:35.440 align:middle line:90%
Stop.

00:49:35.440 --> 00:49:38.296 align:middle line:90%
We need to do something else.

00:49:38.296 --> 00:49:40.686 align:middle line:90%
And I try to explain to her.

00:49:40.686 --> 00:49:42.450 align:middle line:90%
She just doesn't get it.

00:49:42.450 --> 00:49:47.968 align:middle line:84%
Or can theoretically figure
it out but doesn't do a

00:49:47.968 --> 00:49:49.270 align:middle line:90%
very good job at it.

00:49:49.270 --> 00:49:53.515 align:middle line:84%
When we are angry or frightened,
our behavior, the

00:49:53.515 --> 00:49:57.100 align:middle line:84%
way we talk, the way
we track, changes.

00:49:57.100 --> 00:50:00.544 align:middle line:84%
And those things can be major
triggers for the other person.

00:50:00.544 --> 00:50:03.780 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: If you're
staying really calm, and the

00:50:03.780 --> 00:50:06.975 align:middle line:84%
other person's escalating,
that's a real dampening force

00:50:06.975 --> 00:50:09.780 align:middle line:84%
on that other person from
escalating even more.

00:50:09.780 --> 00:50:13.396 align:middle line:84%
And it's really, really hard to
do, to stay professional.

00:50:13.396 --> 00:50:16.475 align:middle line:84%
And recognizing that
this aggression is

00:50:16.475 --> 00:50:17.910 align:middle line:90%
really a medical symptom.

00:50:17.910 --> 00:50:20.986 align:middle line:84%
It's like if they are bleeding
on the floor.

00:50:20.986 --> 00:50:23.070 align:middle line:84%
The difference obviously is that
it could actually hurt

00:50:23.070 --> 00:50:24.220 align:middle line:90%
you, the provider.

00:50:24.220 --> 00:50:26.435 align:middle line:84%
But you need to recognize it
as a medical symptom that

00:50:26.435 --> 00:50:28.820 align:middle line:84%
needs to be dealt with as
opposed to taking it really

00:50:28.820 --> 00:50:34.287 align:middle line:84%
personally, or you being
violent back.

00:50:34.287 --> 00:50:35.810 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: How
do you appear.

00:50:35.810 --> 00:50:38.210 align:middle line:90%
How do you--

00:50:38.210 --> 00:50:41.038 align:middle line:84%
obviously, being calm, centered,
self assured is

00:50:41.038 --> 00:50:41.986 align:middle line:90%
always helpful.

00:50:41.986 --> 00:50:45.320 align:middle line:84%
It's the message that
you're conveying.

00:50:45.320 --> 00:50:50.460 align:middle line:84%
Often if you respond to anger
by being fearful or angry

00:50:50.460 --> 00:50:55.505 align:middle line:84%
yourself, obviously these
will just escalate.

00:50:55.505 --> 00:50:58.970 align:middle line:84%
Or if you're fidgety and
pacing, and gesturing

00:50:58.970 --> 00:51:03.302 align:middle line:84%
yourself, and wondering, so what
do I do now, I think the

00:51:03.302 --> 00:51:07.510 align:middle line:84%
other person would clearly
pick up that feeling.

00:51:07.510 --> 00:51:12.924 align:middle line:84%
Touching most often than
not is not a good idea.

00:51:12.924 --> 00:51:15.369 align:middle line:84%
Even though instinctively we
would like to calm the other

00:51:15.369 --> 00:51:17.325 align:middle line:84%
person down or wonder
what it is.

00:51:17.325 --> 00:51:21.230 align:middle line:84%
This is how we learn to show
empathy and that we care, we

00:51:21.230 --> 00:51:21.730 align:middle line:90%
want to help.

00:51:21.730 --> 00:51:27.510 align:middle line:84%
Well, it may not
be a good idea.

00:51:27.510 --> 00:51:33.273 align:middle line:84%
And then this could be
a topic in itself.

00:51:33.273 --> 00:51:36.710 align:middle line:84%
Active listening would
be the most--

00:51:36.710 --> 00:51:40.147 align:middle line:84%
if you want the buzzword,
in terms of the verbal

00:51:40.147 --> 00:51:42.130 align:middle line:90%
de-escalation principle.

00:51:42.130 --> 00:51:46.650 align:middle line:84%
Often when I'm called, and
many of my colleagues are

00:51:46.650 --> 00:51:48.210 align:middle line:90%
called in such situations.

00:51:48.210 --> 00:51:49.670 align:middle line:90%
I introduce myself.

00:51:49.670 --> 00:51:53.246 align:middle line:84%
I'm telling the person no
matter how agitated

00:51:53.246 --> 00:51:55.745 align:middle line:90%
he is why I'm here.

00:51:55.745 --> 00:51:58.400 align:middle line:90%
And I'm trying to understand.

00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:02.260 align:middle line:84%
I may not respond or react
to the person's curses or

00:52:02.260 --> 00:52:03.200 align:middle line:90%
threatening behavior.

00:52:03.200 --> 00:52:05.490 align:middle line:84%
Of course I try to maintain
a safe distance.

00:52:05.490 --> 00:52:07.815 align:middle line:90%
And I continue my assessment.

00:52:07.815 --> 00:52:11.305 align:middle line:84%
Can I deal with this, or I need
help, or I need to stop

00:52:11.305 --> 00:52:13.916 align:middle line:90%
and find another way.

00:52:13.916 --> 00:52:19.800 align:middle line:84%
And I give that person feedback
about what I see, how

00:52:19.800 --> 00:52:21.628 align:middle line:90%
he or she makes me feel.

00:52:21.628 --> 00:52:24.400 align:middle line:84%
I feel you are threatening, I
feel uncomfortable, I think we

00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:24.910 align:middle line:90%
need to stop.

00:52:24.910 --> 00:52:26.400 align:middle line:90%
Do you want to talk?

00:52:26.400 --> 00:52:30.580 align:middle line:84%
What are the issues that
you're dealing with?

00:52:30.580 --> 00:52:37.214 align:middle line:84%
And I also explain and set
limits on what is acceptable

00:52:37.214 --> 00:52:39.120 align:middle line:90%
and what is not acceptable.

00:52:39.120 --> 00:52:41.706 align:middle line:90%
Often, that combination works.

00:52:41.706 --> 00:52:44.910 align:middle line:90%


00:52:44.910 --> 00:52:48.340 align:middle line:84%
I listed pharmacotherapy and
seclusion restraint because

00:52:48.340 --> 00:52:51.280 align:middle line:84%
they are part of the process,
and I think I would like

00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:56.670 align:middle line:84%
people who are trained for this
to understand that those

00:52:56.670 --> 00:52:57.920 align:middle line:90%
things are available.

00:52:57.920 --> 00:53:04.290 align:middle line:90%


00:53:04.290 --> 00:53:05.757 align:middle line:90%
Any questions so far?

00:53:05.757 --> 00:53:11.625 align:middle line:90%


00:53:11.625 --> 00:53:15.048 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: I've just got a
couple of comments on

00:53:15.048 --> 00:53:16.026 align:middle line:90%
[UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:53:16.026 --> 00:53:16.612 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: Yeah.

00:53:16.612 --> 00:53:17.004 align:middle line:90%
We can do that.

00:53:17.004 --> 00:53:18.960 align:middle line:84%
And also I wanted to suggest and
see what you think about

00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:22.924 align:middle line:84%
this, if someone would like to
play the role of a patient, I

00:53:22.924 --> 00:53:25.575 align:middle line:84%
can meet with you briefly and
just kind of prepare you to do

00:53:25.575 --> 00:53:28.170 align:middle line:84%
that if anybody is interested
in taking the role of the

00:53:28.170 --> 00:53:28.685 align:middle line:90%
aggressive patient.

00:53:28.685 --> 00:53:30.445 align:middle line:90%
You'd like to do that?

00:53:30.445 --> 00:53:33.910 align:middle line:84%
Why don't you and I step out for
just a couple of minutes.

00:53:33.910 --> 00:53:36.385 align:middle line:90%
And then [UNINTELLIGIBLE]?

00:53:36.385 --> 00:53:37.635 align:middle line:90%
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

00:53:37.635 --> 00:53:42.820 align:middle line:90%


00:53:42.820 --> 00:53:47.710 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR: So there's a couple
of things that have been

00:53:47.710 --> 00:53:50.780 align:middle line:84%
brought up already, immediately
seem to be

00:53:50.780 --> 00:53:54.830 align:middle line:84%
possible places where you guys
can think of what you're doing

00:53:54.830 --> 00:53:57.070 align:middle line:90%
to do your project on.

00:53:57.070 --> 00:54:00.690 align:middle line:90%
There's identifying factors.

00:54:00.690 --> 00:54:04.850 align:middle line:84%
There's a whole bunch of
different schemes and

00:54:04.850 --> 00:54:08.700 align:middle line:84%
different metrics that people
have been using.

00:54:08.700 --> 00:54:13.410 align:middle line:84%
All the way from known
personality types to

00:54:13.410 --> 00:54:16.790 align:middle line:84%
socioeconomic factors and
personal history.

00:54:16.790 --> 00:54:20.400 align:middle line:84%
You could make some kind
of [UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:23.500 align:middle line:84%
I can imagine, some sort of like
can you figure out enough

00:54:23.500 --> 00:54:27.290 align:middle line:84%
information before
it's too late.

00:54:27.290 --> 00:54:30.266 align:middle line:84%
The dynamic assessment of
violence seems to be more of a

00:54:30.266 --> 00:54:32.050 align:middle line:90%
time pressure kind of thing.

00:54:32.050 --> 00:54:34.870 align:middle line:84%
Because you almost have to
figure out on the spot.

00:54:34.870 --> 00:54:37.690 align:middle line:84%
But factors are very
different.

00:54:37.690 --> 00:54:41.730 align:middle line:84%
But similarly I can find
de-escalation.

00:54:41.730 --> 00:54:44.750 align:middle line:90%


00:54:44.750 --> 00:54:47.270 align:middle line:84%
It seems kind of interesting,
because it almost seems like

00:54:47.270 --> 00:54:48.840 align:middle line:90%
you could make a word game.

00:54:48.840 --> 00:54:54.052 align:middle line:84%
Or a face to face kind
of thing out of that.

00:54:54.052 --> 00:54:59.645 align:middle line:84%
Can you remember what you're
supposed to do in conversation

00:54:59.645 --> 00:55:03.110 align:middle line:84%
with each other without
missing any of the

00:55:03.110 --> 00:55:04.100 align:middle line:90%
[UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:55:04.100 --> 00:55:06.080 align:middle line:90%
And that might be something.

00:55:06.080 --> 00:55:07.980 align:middle line:84%
That would be like a live
action game but not

00:55:07.980 --> 00:55:09.808 align:middle line:90%
necessarily a physical game.

00:55:09.808 --> 00:55:12.550 align:middle line:84%
It would be more like
a party game.

00:55:12.550 --> 00:55:16.160 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: One way--

00:55:16.160 --> 00:55:18.295 align:middle line:84%
this is, by the way, I didn't
want to go there to

00:55:18.295 --> 00:55:19.080 align:middle line:90%
make this too long.

00:55:19.080 --> 00:55:23.650 align:middle line:84%
But these are some parts of a
standardized patient that I'm

00:55:23.650 --> 00:55:27.340 align:middle line:84%
putting together, then I'm going
to try actually to talk

00:55:27.340 --> 00:55:30.538 align:middle line:84%
to the simulation department
at UMass, to be

00:55:30.538 --> 00:55:32.014 align:middle line:90%
played by an actor.

00:55:32.014 --> 00:55:37.060 align:middle line:84%
And this would be the
training goals.

00:55:37.060 --> 00:55:40.465 align:middle line:84%
And I'm really particularly
interested in how people

00:55:40.465 --> 00:55:43.316 align:middle line:84%
respond when they are exposed to
an angry situation or even

00:55:43.316 --> 00:55:44.910 align:middle line:90%
to an angry face.

00:55:44.910 --> 00:55:46.442 align:middle line:84%
What do you have to
do in order to

00:55:46.442 --> 00:55:47.750 align:middle line:90%
de-escalate the patient.

00:55:47.750 --> 00:55:55.620 align:middle line:84%
And what I think I'm going to
suggest to the actor is that,

00:55:55.620 --> 00:55:58.130 align:middle line:84%
you are in the room and you're
pacing up and down.

00:55:58.130 --> 00:55:59.100 align:middle line:90%
And appearing angry.

00:55:59.100 --> 00:56:03.170 align:middle line:84%
And you're allowed to use some
generic swear words.

00:56:03.170 --> 00:56:06.170 align:middle line:84%
And to have a number
of complaints.

00:56:06.170 --> 00:56:07.936 align:middle line:90%
Could be a number of them.

00:56:07.936 --> 00:56:10.150 align:middle line:84%
Nurse was too late to give
me the medications.

00:56:10.150 --> 00:56:13.140 align:middle line:84%
The girlfriend didn't
come in time.

00:56:13.140 --> 00:56:14.530 align:middle line:90%
You owe money.

00:56:14.530 --> 00:56:17.509 align:middle line:84%
You just had a job interview
today and you missed it

00:56:17.509 --> 00:56:18.540 align:middle line:84%
because you're in
the hospital.

00:56:18.540 --> 00:56:19.930 align:middle line:90%
Could be a number of things.

00:56:19.930 --> 00:56:22.050 align:middle line:84%
And then the person
approaches you.

00:56:22.050 --> 00:56:24.660 align:middle line:90%


00:56:24.660 --> 00:56:30.400 align:middle line:84%
The trainee should follow some
rules in terms of the verbal

00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:32.040 align:middle line:90%
and nonverbal de-escalation.

00:56:32.040 --> 00:56:37.270 align:middle line:84%
If that person is able to engage
you, you can become

00:56:37.270 --> 00:56:41.890 align:middle line:84%
less angry, less agitated,
more interested.

00:56:41.890 --> 00:56:45.910 align:middle line:90%
Pacing less, lower your voice.

00:56:45.910 --> 00:56:49.970 align:middle line:84%
If the trainee is just doing the
right or wrong things, you

00:56:49.970 --> 00:56:53.460 align:middle line:84%
either stay at the same level
or get more and more angry.

00:56:53.460 --> 00:56:57.440 align:middle line:84%
Of course, it's fairly demanding
for a standardized

00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:01.990 align:middle line:84%
for an actor, because the
nonverbal elements are easy.

00:57:01.990 --> 00:57:03.250 align:middle line:90%
How you regulate the distance.

00:57:03.250 --> 00:57:05.595 align:middle line:84%
How you look, how
you approach.

00:57:05.595 --> 00:57:10.055 align:middle line:84%
You inhibit your natural
tendencies to pat the person

00:57:10.055 --> 00:57:11.370 align:middle line:90%
on the shoulder, whatever.

00:57:11.370 --> 00:57:14.180 align:middle line:84%
But the verbal aspects
are more difficult.

00:57:14.180 --> 00:57:15.410 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Improvising dialog
on the spot is hard.

00:57:15.410 --> 00:57:16.615 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Exactly.

00:57:16.615 --> 00:57:21.290 align:middle line:84%
But at the same time, the goals
of the dialog are not.

00:57:21.290 --> 00:57:25.410 align:middle line:84%
Because you should probably find
out what's going on, even

00:57:25.410 --> 00:57:28.820 align:middle line:84%
though, let's say, the actor
will try to tell you about his

00:57:28.820 --> 00:57:30.550 align:middle line:84%
life, and how miserable
things are.

00:57:30.550 --> 00:57:34.200 align:middle line:84%
You know, I lost my job,
and I was kicked out.

00:57:34.200 --> 00:57:36.850 align:middle line:84%
But you need to try to
bring the person

00:57:36.850 --> 00:57:37.400 align:middle line:90%
to what really happened.

00:57:37.400 --> 00:57:41.820 align:middle line:84%
I think that's very, very
helpful because you're pinning

00:57:41.820 --> 00:57:46.630 align:middle line:84%
down a particular conflict
that triggered it.

00:57:46.630 --> 00:57:48.680 align:middle line:84%
And if you are able to
do that, then you

00:57:48.680 --> 00:57:50.340 align:middle line:90%
can take some steps.

00:57:50.340 --> 00:57:50.980 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:57:50.980 --> 00:57:53.980 align:middle line:84%
I have a patient right
now who has

00:57:53.980 --> 00:57:55.970 align:middle line:90%
difficulty expressing herself.

00:57:55.970 --> 00:58:01.045 align:middle line:84%
And systematically there's one
particular shift where the

00:58:01.045 --> 00:58:04.010 align:middle line:84%
staff is not patient, doesn't
wait for her.

00:58:04.010 --> 00:58:06.670 align:middle line:84%
You just need to give her
a little bit more time.

00:58:06.670 --> 00:58:09.300 align:middle line:84%
And she gets upset and angry
and starts pacing.

00:58:09.300 --> 00:58:12.105 align:middle line:84%
And I have to every time say,
please, listen to her.

00:58:12.105 --> 00:58:15.225 align:middle line:84%
Or she comes up to me, she tells
me the story and then I

00:58:15.225 --> 00:58:17.070 align:middle line:90%
have to go back to the staff.

00:58:17.070 --> 00:58:20.900 align:middle line:84%
People just don't have the
patience or don't care.

00:58:20.900 --> 00:58:22.600 align:middle line:84%
So that's just a simple
intervention.

00:58:22.600 --> 00:58:25.660 align:middle line:84%
This is why you need to find
out what's going on.

00:58:25.660 --> 00:58:28.480 align:middle line:84%
And then, if you can get more
information about what brought

00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:32.724 align:middle line:90%
the person to this place.

00:58:32.724 --> 00:58:33.690 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: OK.

00:58:33.690 --> 00:58:36.600 align:middle line:90%
I think we're prepared.

00:58:36.600 --> 00:58:39.790 align:middle line:84%
She did role play before
I showed this, because

you want to do it?

00:59:37.822 --> 00:59:38.786 align:middle line:90%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: Um.

00:59:38.786 --> 00:59:41.678 align:middle line:90%
An education.

00:59:41.678 --> 00:59:42.642 align:middle line:90%
Stop it.

00:59:42.642 --> 00:59:43.606 align:middle line:90%
Not good.

00:59:43.606 --> 00:59:45.550 align:middle line:90%
Try to poison me.

00:59:45.550 --> 00:59:46.460 align:middle line:90%
You all want me dead.

00:59:46.460 --> 00:59:48.742 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: What am
I trying to do to you?

00:59:48.742 --> 00:59:51.097 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: Doesn't
[UNINTELLIGIBLE].

00:59:51.097 --> 00:59:52.039 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: OK.

00:59:52.039 --> 00:59:54.865 align:middle line:90%
I can talk about that.

00:59:54.865 --> 00:59:57.526 align:middle line:84%
So tell me what kind of problems
do you have with the

00:59:57.526 --> 00:59:58.004 align:middle line:90%
medication?

00:59:58.004 --> 00:59:59.450 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
Trying to poison.

00:59:59.450 --> 01:00:01.822 align:middle line:90%
You all want me dead.

01:00:01.822 --> 01:00:03.206 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: So you
don't think the

01:00:03.206 --> 01:00:05.070 align:middle line:90%
medication is helpful?

01:00:05.070 --> 01:00:06.555 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
Course not.

01:00:06.555 --> 01:00:09.030 align:middle line:90%
Trying to kill me.

01:00:09.030 --> 01:00:10.020 align:middle line:90%
[TEARING NOISE]

01:00:10.020 --> 01:00:11.505 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

01:00:11.505 --> 01:00:13.485 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
They're watching me.

01:00:13.485 --> 01:00:17.940 align:middle line:90%


01:00:17.940 --> 01:00:22.395 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: What else
can I do to help?

01:00:22.395 --> 01:00:23.880 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
[INAUDIBLE]

01:00:23.880 --> 01:00:24.970 align:middle line:90%
family.

01:00:24.970 --> 01:00:27.195 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: You want me
to contact your family?

01:00:27.195 --> 01:00:27.940 align:middle line:90%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: No.

01:00:27.940 --> 01:00:28.890 align:middle line:90%
I hate them all.

01:00:28.890 --> 01:00:31.340 align:middle line:90%
They're all against me.

01:00:31.340 --> 01:00:34.892 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: It must be very
hard, to not have anyone

01:00:34.892 --> 01:00:35.750 align:middle line:84%
to talk to or feel
comfortable with.

01:00:35.750 --> 01:00:37.160 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: That's
why I want to talk

01:00:37.160 --> 01:00:38.790 align:middle line:90%
[UNINTELLIGIBLE] with John.

01:00:38.790 --> 01:00:40.500 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well,
I'm sorry you're

01:00:40.500 --> 01:00:43.104 align:middle line:90%
struggling so much.

01:00:43.104 --> 01:00:45.990 align:middle line:84%
And I know we haven't
met before.

01:00:45.990 --> 01:00:48.395 align:middle line:84%
But I'm here and trying
to be helpful to you.

01:00:48.395 --> 01:00:50.836 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: You want
to kill me, don't you?

01:00:50.836 --> 01:00:53.476 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: No, I don't
think I want to.

01:00:53.476 --> 01:00:56.392 align:middle line:90%


01:00:56.392 --> 01:01:03.682 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
[GRUNTING]

01:01:03.682 --> 01:01:06.438 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: So we have
a number of options.

01:01:06.438 --> 01:01:09.784 align:middle line:90%
And I think you look angry.

01:01:09.784 --> 01:01:11.218 align:middle line:84%
And you're scaring people
and you're scaring me.

01:01:11.218 --> 01:01:12.005 align:middle line:90%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: Fine.

01:01:12.005 --> 01:01:15.066 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: You're
scaring me.

01:01:15.066 --> 01:01:16.050 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
[UNINTELLIGIBLE]

01:01:16.050 --> 01:01:18.018 align:middle line:84%
You're just laughing
behind me.

01:01:18.018 --> 01:01:19.002 align:middle line:90%
You're not scared.

01:01:19.002 --> 01:01:19.494 align:middle line:90%
You're just laughing.

01:01:19.494 --> 01:01:21.860 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: No, I think
you're a big, strong guy.

01:01:21.860 --> 01:01:25.325 align:middle line:84%
And when you get angry and
upset, you get to be

01:01:25.325 --> 01:01:25.820 align:middle line:90%
intimidating.

01:01:25.820 --> 01:01:26.810 align:middle line:90%
And there are other--

01:01:26.810 --> 01:01:29.285 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: Is that
why you're going to poison me?

01:01:29.285 --> 01:01:29.780 align:middle line:90%
Scared of me?

01:01:29.780 --> 01:01:30.770 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: No.

01:01:30.770 --> 01:01:33.159 align:middle line:84%
Well, I'm not trying
to hurt you.

01:01:33.159 --> 01:01:36.652 align:middle line:84%
But we need to come up
with a solution.

01:01:36.652 --> 01:01:38.648 align:middle line:84%
Because you could get hurt and
other people could get hurt.

01:01:38.648 --> 01:01:41.642 align:middle line:84%
So we need to do something
about that.

01:01:41.642 --> 01:01:43.638 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: I would
be better off dead.

01:01:43.638 --> 01:01:45.135 align:middle line:90%
Everyone wants me dead.

01:01:45.135 --> 01:01:46.133 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well.

01:01:46.133 --> 01:01:50.624 align:middle line:84%
I understand you're quite
distraught today.

01:01:50.624 --> 01:01:53.119 align:middle line:90%
And I want to help you.

01:01:53.119 --> 01:01:55.614 align:middle line:84%
I may not be able
to, right away.

01:01:55.614 --> 01:02:03.099 align:middle line:90%


01:02:03.099 --> 01:02:09.586 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to try to get the
nurse that you want.

01:02:09.586 --> 01:02:12.580 align:middle line:90%
But what if I do not get him?

01:02:12.580 --> 01:02:16.073 align:middle line:90%
What's the next best thing?

01:02:16.073 --> 01:02:17.323 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
[INAUDIBLE]

01:02:17.323 --> 01:02:20.065 align:middle line:90%


01:02:20.065 --> 01:02:21.562 align:middle line:90%
I don't know.

01:02:21.562 --> 01:02:26.053 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Would it help
to contact your family?

01:02:26.053 --> 01:02:27.550 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT:
Maybe mom.

01:02:27.550 --> 01:02:28.049 align:middle line:90%
I want my mom.

01:02:28.049 --> 01:02:29.047 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: OK.

01:02:29.047 --> 01:02:32.041 align:middle line:90%
I can try to reach out to her.

01:02:32.041 --> 01:02:35.855 align:middle line:84%
And do you think that if you
change the medications maybe

01:02:35.855 --> 01:02:39.110 align:middle line:84%
you can try a combination
that could help?

01:02:39.110 --> 01:02:41.013 align:middle line:84%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: As long
as it's not poison.

01:02:41.013 --> 01:02:41.780 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: OK.

01:02:41.780 --> 01:02:43.466 align:middle line:90%
I hear you.

01:02:43.466 --> 01:02:46.424 align:middle line:90%
You don't like the medication.

01:02:46.424 --> 01:02:48.396 align:middle line:84%
You think that it's
hurting you.

01:02:48.396 --> 01:02:50.368 align:middle line:90%
But it's helped in the past.

01:02:50.368 --> 01:02:54.805 align:middle line:84%
And maybe a different
combination would be better.

01:02:54.805 --> 01:02:55.298 align:middle line:90%
Hmm?

01:02:55.298 --> 01:02:56.284 align:middle line:90%
ROLE PLAYING PATIENT: Maybe.

01:02:56.284 --> 01:02:57.534 align:middle line:90%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Maybe?

01:02:57.534 --> 01:03:02.228 align:middle line:90%


01:03:02.228 --> 01:03:03.674 align:middle line:90%
Well, thank you.

01:03:03.674 --> 01:03:05.210 align:middle line:90%
We can go on like this.

01:03:05.210 --> 01:03:13.130 align:middle line:90%

01:03:27.968 --> 01:03:32.570 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: I have a question
concerning about the

01:03:32.570 --> 01:03:37.288 align:middle line:84%
disruption of narrative model
of why violence occurs.

01:03:37.288 --> 01:03:41.320 align:middle line:84%
Is that pretty much accepted
as the way--

01:03:41.320 --> 01:03:44.320 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: I just
made it up for this.

01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:44.820 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

01:03:44.820 --> 01:03:47.300 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: I was just wondering
if there were competing,

01:03:47.300 --> 01:03:50.811 align:middle line:84%
different theories, it might
be useful for people to

01:03:50.811 --> 01:03:52.759 align:middle line:84%
understand more than one model,
or is that [INAUDIBLE].

01:03:52.759 --> 01:03:58.190 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: The narrative
perspective is, if you want, a

01:03:58.190 --> 01:04:00.000 align:middle line:90%
cry from the past.

01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.731 align:middle line:84%
I think the last 20 years,
in science and certainly

01:04:03.731 --> 01:04:07.550 align:middle line:84%
medicine, have been dominated
by hard evidence.

01:04:07.550 --> 01:04:12.316 align:middle line:84%
Actually, the evidence-based
medicine has been taking over

01:04:12.316 --> 01:04:16.060 align:middle line:84%
the entire world, as the
ultimate standard.

01:04:16.060 --> 01:04:22.430 align:middle line:84%
So there are lists of the
strength of the evidence, and

01:04:22.430 --> 01:04:28.286 align:middle line:84%
randomized controlled designs
are the best, and clinical

01:04:28.286 --> 01:04:31.060 align:middle line:84%
impression anecdotes
are the worst.

01:04:31.060 --> 01:04:38.090 align:middle line:84%
So on this map, the narrative
or a person-like story about

01:04:38.090 --> 01:04:44.780 align:middle line:84%
the patient may not be if you
want the accepted model today.

01:04:44.780 --> 01:04:49.538 align:middle line:84%
But I think in dealing with
individual cases, I feel that

01:04:49.538 --> 01:04:51.017 align:middle line:90%
makes a lot of sense.

01:04:51.017 --> 01:04:52.870 align:middle line:84%
When you have to deal with
somebody who is very

01:04:52.870 --> 01:04:57.560 align:middle line:84%
distraught, if I tell him that
the best available evidence

01:04:57.560 --> 01:05:01.954 align:middle line:84%
was published two years ago and
showed that, you know, 20

01:05:01.954 --> 01:05:05.930 align:middle line:84%
milligrams of Abilify would work
best for psychosis, I'm

01:05:05.930 --> 01:05:08.663 align:middle line:84%
not so sure that you
would fuel the

01:05:08.663 --> 01:05:10.403 align:middle line:90%
warmth and the empathy.

01:05:10.403 --> 01:05:12.910 align:middle line:90%


01:05:12.910 --> 01:05:15.180 align:middle line:84%
But the reality, it
could be that that

01:05:15.180 --> 01:05:17.040 align:middle line:90%
evidence is is right.

01:05:17.040 --> 01:05:18.260 align:middle line:90%
He's psychotic.

01:05:18.260 --> 01:05:20.130 align:middle line:84%
And he tried to a variety
of medications.

01:05:20.130 --> 01:05:23.080 align:middle line:84%
Some of them made him fat and
pushed his triglycerides up

01:05:23.080 --> 01:05:25.365 align:middle line:90%
and raised his blood pressure.

01:05:25.365 --> 01:05:30.310 align:middle line:84%
If I switch him to Abilify in
two months, he'll get better.

01:05:30.310 --> 01:05:37.600 align:middle line:84%
But dealing with the immediate
issue, I think it's just, it's

01:05:37.600 --> 01:05:38.572 align:middle line:90%
something else.

01:05:38.572 --> 01:05:41.609 align:middle line:84%
And that knowledge about
medication, while helpful in

01:05:41.609 --> 01:05:42.470 align:middle line:84%
the long run, will not
make it very good.

01:05:42.470 --> 01:05:46.500 align:middle line:84%
So this is why I came up with
if you want, for the purpose

01:05:46.500 --> 01:05:53.210 align:middle line:84%
of this meeting, with a way of
creating a metaphor that could

01:05:53.210 --> 01:05:58.130 align:middle line:84%
sustain my verbal and nonverbal
de-escalation.

01:05:58.130 --> 01:06:03.720 align:middle line:84%
I'm trying to create some sense,
some coherence, some

01:06:03.720 --> 01:06:07.046 align:middle line:84%
meaning, some meaning
to that interaction.

01:06:07.046 --> 01:06:10.822 align:middle line:84%
And in doing that, I'm empathic
and I'm trying to

01:06:10.822 --> 01:06:14.430 align:middle line:84%
channel the energies
in a way that it's

01:06:14.430 --> 01:06:15.860 align:middle line:90%
almost like a beginning.

01:06:15.860 --> 01:06:16.370 align:middle line:90%
He's distraught.

01:06:16.370 --> 01:06:17.450 align:middle line:90%
He's ready to give up.

01:06:17.450 --> 01:06:20.715 align:middle line:84%
He's ready to shut himself
away from the world.

01:06:20.715 --> 01:06:23.800 align:middle line:84%
I'm trying to reach out to
him, without becoming his

01:06:23.800 --> 01:06:27.300 align:middle line:84%
friend, without becoming
his brother or father.

01:06:27.300 --> 01:06:30.556 align:middle line:84%
And I think in a sense
I'm restoring the

01:06:30.556 --> 01:06:32.230 align:middle line:90%
meaning of his narrative.

01:06:32.230 --> 01:06:35.462 align:middle line:84%
Somebody cares, somebody
reaches out.

01:06:35.462 --> 01:06:38.060 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR: Because it seems like
a very interesting system

01:06:38.060 --> 01:06:42.490 align:middle line:84%
for people, for designers
to play with.

01:06:42.490 --> 01:06:45.100 align:middle line:84%
The idea of trying, even though
there is this historic

01:06:45.100 --> 01:06:49.470 align:middle line:84%
narrative, and you may not
know enough about the

01:06:49.470 --> 01:06:51.596 align:middle line:84%
narrative to be able
to act on it.

01:06:51.596 --> 01:06:53.303 align:middle line:84%
But you'd find out things
about it by

01:06:53.303 --> 01:06:54.920 align:middle line:90%
talking to the patient.

01:06:54.920 --> 01:06:59.015 align:middle line:84%
And what you're really trying
to do is make things fit

01:06:59.015 --> 01:07:00.955 align:middle line:84%
within that person's
narrative.

01:07:00.955 --> 01:07:03.290 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: You're filling
the blanks that were

01:07:03.290 --> 01:07:05.450 align:middle line:84%
kind of somewhat destroyed
by events.

01:07:05.450 --> 01:07:09.300 align:middle line:84%
And it could be a variety
of events.

01:07:09.300 --> 01:07:11.190 align:middle line:84%
And at times you have to
use your imagination.

01:07:11.190 --> 01:07:12.410 align:middle line:90%
It's almost like intuition.

01:07:12.410 --> 01:07:15.450 align:middle line:84%
I mean, I know the principles
from every case, but how I'm

01:07:15.450 --> 01:07:20.414 align:middle line:84%
going to do it, it's
not pre-programmed.

01:07:20.414 --> 01:07:24.150 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR: Seems like that's
also something that you could

01:07:24.150 --> 01:07:26.700 align:middle line:84%
then play with from a design
point of view.

01:07:26.700 --> 01:07:30.550 align:middle line:84%
This idea of disruptive
narrative, and then how do you

01:07:30.550 --> 01:07:31.570 align:middle line:90%
put it back.

01:07:31.570 --> 01:07:36.210 align:middle line:84%
Just like putting the pieces
back together [INAUDIBLE].

01:07:36.210 --> 01:07:38.352 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: That may be
the reason-- and that's

01:07:38.352 --> 01:07:40.320 align:middle line:84%
another speculation, I'm
just making this up--

01:07:40.320 --> 01:07:44.200 align:middle line:84%
why adventure games
are so powerful.

01:07:44.200 --> 01:07:46.100 align:middle line:84%
Because, in a sense, you're
finding a substitute narrative

01:07:46.100 --> 01:07:50.622 align:middle line:84%
that is much more controllable
than your own.

01:07:50.622 --> 01:07:55.230 align:middle line:84%
And for the time of the
game you're there.

01:07:55.230 --> 01:07:59.500 align:middle line:84%
It's almost like you're buying
a few minutes, 10 minutes, 20

01:07:59.500 --> 01:08:01.500 align:middle line:84%
minutes of a different
story line.

01:08:01.500 --> 01:08:03.690 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR: Actually, one of
our researchers here looks

01:08:03.690 --> 01:08:05.212 align:middle line:84%
specifically at adventure
games.

01:08:05.212 --> 01:08:07.570 align:middle line:84%
And her point of view is that
playing adventure games is

01:08:07.570 --> 01:08:12.440 align:middle line:84%
like being a performer who
hasn't been given the script.

01:08:12.440 --> 01:08:15.080 align:middle line:84%
You're still an actor in the
story, and you have to figure

01:08:15.080 --> 01:08:17.454 align:middle line:84%
out what that story is in
order to move it along.

01:08:17.454 --> 01:08:23.190 align:middle line:90%


01:08:23.190 --> 01:08:25.819 align:middle line:84%
There's one other thing that
I do want to bring up.

01:08:25.819 --> 01:08:28.550 align:middle line:84%
Obviously, I don't want any of
these games that you guys are

01:08:28.550 --> 01:08:33.819 align:middle line:84%
working on to be quizzes, to be
really fun quizzes, even.

01:08:33.819 --> 01:08:36.219 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

01:08:36.219 --> 01:08:37.819 align:middle line:90%
all this stuff is about.

01:08:37.819 --> 01:08:40.097 align:middle line:84%
I do want you guys to
be learning games.

01:08:40.097 --> 01:08:43.061 align:middle line:84%
And not just Trivial Pursuit,
Psychiatric Version.

01:08:43.061 --> 01:08:47.020 align:middle line:90%


01:08:47.020 --> 01:08:48.809 align:middle line:90%
That's kind of pointless.

01:08:48.809 --> 01:08:51.600 align:middle line:84%
We have had games in the past
in this class where people

01:08:51.600 --> 01:08:55.526 align:middle line:84%
basically pulled questions out
of a hat and had to answer

01:08:55.526 --> 01:08:57.490 align:middle line:90%
them, with various penalties.

01:08:57.490 --> 01:08:59.904 align:middle line:84%
Kind of fun, but that's
not what I've been

01:08:59.904 --> 01:09:01.729 align:middle line:90%
teaching you guys.

01:09:01.729 --> 01:09:03.550 align:middle line:90%
So try to think about systems.

01:09:03.550 --> 01:09:07.532 align:middle line:84%
Try to think about all these
things that they want their

01:09:07.532 --> 01:09:09.390 align:middle line:90%
trainees to learn.

01:09:09.390 --> 01:09:12.892 align:middle line:84%
Think about how they can engage
with the system, in

01:09:12.892 --> 01:09:14.868 align:middle line:84%
some small way, for
your project.

01:09:14.868 --> 01:09:19.314 align:middle line:90%


01:09:19.314 --> 01:09:20.796 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: Can I ask
a question?

01:09:20.796 --> 01:09:23.760 align:middle line:84%
What are your thoughts, or what
are the field's thoughts

01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:25.670 align:middle line:84%
on lying to people, so
mitigate a situation.

01:09:25.670 --> 01:09:28.485 align:middle line:90%


01:09:28.485 --> 01:09:36.120 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Well, I would
call lying a distortion, in a

01:09:36.120 --> 01:09:39.745 align:middle line:90%
very general way.

01:09:39.745 --> 01:09:45.222 align:middle line:84%
And when people lie, they
have to make a decision.

01:09:45.222 --> 01:09:49.614 align:middle line:84%
Often, people lie for a
variety of reasons.

01:09:49.614 --> 01:09:54.006 align:middle line:84%
What I always am surprised by is
the reason to make friends,

01:09:54.006 --> 01:09:57.422 align:middle line:84%
to get friendly, to resolve
a situation.

01:09:57.422 --> 01:10:05.175 align:middle line:84%
And I don't believe in lying
as a communication tool.

01:10:05.175 --> 01:10:09.925 align:middle line:84%
Given, it may make things
easier in the short run.

01:10:09.925 --> 01:10:13.818 align:middle line:84%
Certainly clinically
it's not helpful.

01:10:13.818 --> 01:10:17.269 align:middle line:84%
I was telling you about patients
with borderline

01:10:17.269 --> 01:10:20.720 align:middle line:84%
pathology that has this
affective and relational

01:10:20.720 --> 01:10:24.690 align:middle line:84%
instability that is basically
taking over their lives.

01:10:24.690 --> 01:10:28.427 align:middle line:84%
They are some of the most
accurate lie detectors that

01:10:28.427 --> 01:10:29.160 align:middle line:90%
you can imagine.

01:10:29.160 --> 01:10:32.320 align:middle line:84%
You cannot design something
more perfect than that.

01:10:32.320 --> 01:10:34.750 align:middle line:84%
Especially having been in the
system for a long time.

01:10:34.750 --> 01:10:38.152 align:middle line:84%
They can feel the lie even
before it comes up.

01:10:38.152 --> 01:10:40.582 align:middle line:84%
And if you're going that
path with them.

01:10:40.582 --> 01:10:44.230 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: So this role play,
for example, if you told

01:10:44.230 --> 01:10:46.070 align:middle line:84%
Bobby, well, let
me go get John.

01:10:46.070 --> 01:10:47.420 align:middle line:90%
You wait here for a minute.

01:10:47.420 --> 01:10:50.210 align:middle line:84%
And then you know that John
is not working right now.

01:10:50.210 --> 01:10:51.550 align:middle line:90%
He's nowhere in the hospital.

01:10:51.550 --> 01:10:54.430 align:middle line:84%
But you just told him that to
safely get out, then you get

01:10:54.430 --> 01:10:56.890 align:middle line:84%
security to come back in
with you, and you can

01:10:56.890 --> 01:10:57.445 align:middle line:90%
subdue him or something.

01:10:57.445 --> 01:10:59.666 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: That's
a great example.

01:10:59.666 --> 01:11:01.986 align:middle line:90%
And that happens all the time.

01:11:01.986 --> 01:11:05.420 align:middle line:84%
Because often when you're in
this place, many of your

01:11:05.420 --> 01:11:07.920 align:middle line:90%
requests are unreasonable.

01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:11.150 align:middle line:84%
So you need to set
some limits.

01:11:11.150 --> 01:11:13.752 align:middle line:84%
And eventually you'll end
up setting some limits.

01:11:13.752 --> 01:11:15.730 align:middle line:84%
He could have continued to
escalate until attacking me,

01:11:15.730 --> 01:11:18.352 align:middle line:84%
breaking everything
in the room.

01:11:18.352 --> 01:11:22.708 align:middle line:84%
I usually tell them about how
they make others feel.

01:11:22.708 --> 01:11:27.548 align:middle line:84%
How unacceptable some of their
behaviors are, and what are

01:11:27.548 --> 01:11:28.516 align:middle line:90%
the consequences.

01:11:28.516 --> 01:11:33.074 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to probably tell
you if this continues, I don't

01:11:33.074 --> 01:11:36.278 align:middle line:84%
have any other choice but to
call security and you may end

01:11:36.278 --> 01:11:36.490 align:middle line:90%
up in restraints.

01:11:36.490 --> 01:11:38.442 align:middle line:84%
And with a chemical medication,
it could be

01:11:38.442 --> 01:11:40.900 align:middle line:84%
injectable, you can
take it by mouth.

01:11:40.900 --> 01:11:45.168 align:middle line:84%
So I'm coming up front with how
the next few minutes, the

01:11:45.168 --> 01:11:47.144 align:middle line:90%
proximal future, looks like.

01:11:47.144 --> 01:11:50.780 align:middle line:84%
As opposed to kind of fudge it
and get on his friendly side,

01:11:50.780 --> 01:11:54.918 align:middle line:84%
and, oh I don't mean anything,
but the security will put you

01:11:54.918 --> 01:11:56.072 align:middle line:90%
in restraints.

01:11:56.072 --> 01:12:01.050 align:middle line:84%
So I don't want to buy him out
by just becoming his friend.

01:12:01.050 --> 01:12:03.050 align:middle line:90%
If that involves lying--

01:12:03.050 --> 01:12:05.190 align:middle line:90%
that's-- some people do it.

01:12:05.190 --> 01:12:06.130 align:middle line:84%
When you're in the
corner, you're--

01:12:06.130 --> 01:12:08.325 align:middle line:90%
OK, so what do I do now.

01:12:08.325 --> 01:12:09.890 align:middle line:90%
A little lie won't hurt.

01:12:09.890 --> 01:12:11.095 align:middle line:90%
And you do it.

01:12:11.095 --> 01:12:12.292 align:middle line:90%
Maybe it's just my--

01:12:12.292 --> 01:12:14.020 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: What you just
mentioned too, that sort of

01:12:14.020 --> 01:12:15.974 align:middle line:90%
like good cop, bad cop.

01:12:15.974 --> 01:12:19.140 align:middle line:84%
Well, I wish we could have more
of a conversation here,

01:12:19.140 --> 01:12:21.110 align:middle line:84%
but security needs to put
you in restraints.

01:12:21.110 --> 01:12:22.290 align:middle line:90%
Security's the bad guy.

01:12:22.290 --> 01:12:24.610 align:middle line:84%
When that's exactly
where you want the

01:12:24.610 --> 01:12:25.801 align:middle line:90%
patient to be anyways.

01:12:25.801 --> 01:12:27.486 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: I'm OK,
but you know Jim.

01:12:27.486 --> 01:12:28.830 align:middle line:90%
He doesn't tolerate it.

01:12:28.830 --> 01:12:30.620 align:middle line:84%
He's the director and
he's going to--

01:12:30.620 --> 01:12:31.910 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

01:12:31.910 --> 01:12:33.820 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: Does that
answer your question?

01:12:33.820 --> 01:12:34.380 align:middle line:90%
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

01:12:34.380 --> 01:12:35.020 align:middle line:90%
Would you--

01:12:35.020 --> 01:12:36.270 align:middle line:90%
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

01:12:36.270 --> 01:12:38.244 align:middle line:90%


01:12:38.244 --> 01:12:40.745 align:middle line:84%
AUDIENCE: I guess my followup is
would you ever sneakily put

01:12:40.745 --> 01:12:42.940 align:middle line:84%
medicine in someone's food or do
something [UNINTELLIGIBLE].

01:12:42.940 --> 01:12:48.716 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: It's not only
a lawsuit waiting to happen,

01:12:48.716 --> 01:12:54.080 align:middle line:84%
of a major magnitude, but I
don't think it's right.

01:12:54.080 --> 01:12:58.566 align:middle line:84%
Even though probably reality
is that family members and

01:12:58.566 --> 01:13:01.458 align:middle line:84%
sometimes even providers in
nursing homes may do that.

01:13:01.458 --> 01:13:04.006 align:middle line:90%
But I think it's--

01:13:04.006 --> 01:13:07.010 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: You may need
to treat the person against

01:13:07.010 --> 01:13:09.450 align:middle line:84%
their will, which is often
meaning putting them into

01:13:09.450 --> 01:13:11.640 align:middle line:84%
physical restraints, which is
usually like leather kind of

01:13:11.640 --> 01:13:14.800 align:middle line:84%
things, kind of a straitjacket
thing, or maybe to a bed.

01:13:14.800 --> 01:13:17.480 align:middle line:84%
And maybe physically inject them
with something to really

01:13:17.480 --> 01:13:18.420 align:middle line:90%
sedate them.

01:13:18.420 --> 01:13:20.174 align:middle line:84%
But you should always be telling
them what you're going

01:13:20.174 --> 01:13:20.990 align:middle line:90%
to do, right.

01:13:20.990 --> 01:13:23.230 align:middle line:84%
And the reason why
you're doing it.

01:13:23.230 --> 01:13:24.895 align:middle line:84%
Even if they don't have any
choice in the matter.

01:13:24.895 --> 01:13:27.780 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 2: And if you feel
that the person is unable

01:13:27.780 --> 01:13:35.490 align:middle line:84%
to comprehend, then you may
need to work towards

01:13:35.490 --> 01:13:36.700 align:middle line:84%
appointing a guardian
who will take

01:13:36.700 --> 01:13:39.240 align:middle line:90%
decisions for that person.

01:13:39.240 --> 01:13:41.810 align:middle line:84%
And it's not necessarily that
the legal field has pushed

01:13:41.810 --> 01:13:43.940 align:middle line:90%
itself very hard in field.

01:13:43.940 --> 01:13:46.390 align:middle line:90%
But I think it's fair.

01:13:46.390 --> 01:13:48.250 align:middle line:84%
You meet the person where
that person is at,

01:13:48.250 --> 01:13:49.550 align:middle line:90%
and try to be helpful.

01:13:49.550 --> 01:13:53.010 align:middle line:84%
And I think, in my view, there
is no substitute for being

01:13:53.010 --> 01:13:55.390 align:middle line:84%
upfront and saying this is
what's going to happen.

01:13:55.390 --> 01:13:58.490 align:middle line:84%
He may not be my best friend,
but he knows exactly.

01:13:58.490 --> 01:14:02.873 align:middle line:84%
I'm telling the patients often
ahead what's going to happen.

01:14:02.873 --> 01:14:05.010 align:middle line:84%
In that sense, I'm giving
them choices.

01:14:05.010 --> 01:14:07.279 align:middle line:84%
So if I end up taking
them to court for

01:14:07.279 --> 01:14:08.700 align:middle line:90%
commitment, they know that.

01:14:08.700 --> 01:14:13.220 align:middle line:84%
And you would be surprised
how angry they are at the

01:14:13.220 --> 01:14:15.386 align:middle line:84%
beginning and how OK
they are later.

01:14:15.386 --> 01:14:18.580 align:middle line:84%
And how often they come up to
me and say, thank you, I was

01:14:18.580 --> 01:14:23.480 align:middle line:84%
in a very bad space and I didn't
want to, and I fought

01:14:23.480 --> 01:14:24.950 align:middle line:84%
you all the way but I think that
was the best solution.

01:14:24.950 --> 01:14:28.380 align:middle line:84%
I don't necessarily do that
to get that thanks.

01:14:28.380 --> 01:14:30.340 align:middle line:90%
I just do it as a principle.

01:14:30.340 --> 01:14:31.820 align:middle line:90%
Often it doesn't come.

01:14:31.820 --> 01:14:33.200 align:middle line:84%
It's not like people
are grateful.

01:14:33.200 --> 01:14:35.880 align:middle line:90%
Often they leave the hospital.

01:14:35.880 --> 01:14:39.505 align:middle line:84%
GUEST SPEAKER 1: Let me show a
little of this training, just

01:14:39.505 --> 01:14:39.880 align:middle line:90%
a few minutes.

01:14:39.880 --> 01:14:44.580 align:middle line:84%
This is a project I've been
working on a lot for NASA,

01:14:44.580 --> 01:14:47.920 align:middle line:84%
which is basically to develop a
mental health support system

01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:49.410 align:middle line:84%
for the long duration
space cruise.

01:14:49.410 --> 01:14:51.730 align:middle line:84%
And this is kind of a
whole other topic.

01:14:51.730 --> 01:14:54.880 align:middle line:84%
But just one piece of this was
teaching the astronauts how to

01:14:54.880 --> 01:14:58.236 align:middle line:84%
manage conflict, interpersonal
conflict more

01:14:58.236 --> 01:15:00.515 align:middle line:90%
effectively or safely.

different population from what

01:15:05.810 --> 01:15:07.762 align:middle line:90%
we were talking about.

--Welcome to the virtual space
station, where you can access

01:15:49.636 --> 01:15:52.116 align:middle line:84%
training and resources to help
deal with the stresses of long

01:15:52.116 --> 01:15:53.356 align:middle line:90%
duration space flights.

01:15:53.356 --> 01:15:56.332 align:middle line:84%
In the training simulator,
you'll interact with virtual

01:15:56.332 --> 01:15:58.812 align:middle line:84%
crew members to learn and
practice managing some of the

01:15:58.812 --> 01:16:01.788 align:middle line:84%
problems that might come up
on long duration missions.

01:16:01.788 --> 01:16:05.508 align:middle line:84%
The resources modules has more
advanced training that you can

01:16:05.508 --> 01:16:08.020 align:middle line:84%
do to learn about adapting to
the stresses of living in

01:16:08.020 --> 01:16:11.055 align:middle line:84%
isolation, plus interviews with
long duration flyers.

01:16:11.055 --> 01:16:15.370 align:middle line:84%
It also has a number of ebooks
and audio books on dealing

01:16:15.370 --> 01:16:16.070 align:middle line:90%
with stress.

01:16:16.070 --> 01:16:18.860 align:middle line:84%
Plus survival stories about
polar missions and other

adventures.

01:16:20.020 --> 01:16:24.136 align:middle line:84%

We recommend that you do the
10 minute briefing first.

01:16:55.050 --> 01:16:57.425 align:middle line:84%
Here's how these simulations
work.

01:16:57.425 --> 01:17:00.730 align:middle line:84%
You're flight engineer
one, or FE1.

01:17:00.730 --> 01:17:04.440 align:middle line:84%
Your crew mate, Chuck, is
flight engineer two.

01:17:04.440 --> 01:17:08.030 align:middle line:84%
We'll be giving you three
choices of what to say or do.

01:17:08.030 --> 01:17:11.050 align:middle line:84%
You can roll your mouse over
them to hear how they're said.

01:17:11.050 --> 01:17:14.660 align:middle line:84%
Even though some options are
more likely than others to

01:17:14.660 --> 01:17:17.360 align:middle line:84%
reduce the conflict, I recommend
that you try out

01:17:17.360 --> 01:17:19.648 align:middle line:84%
options you might not
choose in real life.

01:17:19.648 --> 01:17:22.680 align:middle line:84%
That's because all paths in
these simulations lead to

01:17:22.680 --> 01:17:24.210 align:middle line:90%
teaching points.

01:17:24.210 --> 01:17:27.835 align:middle line:84%
You can click the backup button
anytime if you want to

change your choice and go
down another pathway.

You can click on the fair
fighting manual at any time to

01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:34.560 align:middle line:90%
read some tips.

01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:36.220 align:middle line:84%
You'll also find this

coaching you along the way.

01:17:44.240 --> 01:17:45.040 align:middle line:90%
OK.

01:17:45.040 --> 01:17:47.193 align:middle line:90%
Back to the simulation.

01:17:47.193 --> 01:17:50.990 align:middle line:84%
It's four months into your
mission, with five and a half

01:17:50.990 --> 01:17:51.820 align:middle line:90%
left to go.

01:17:51.820 --> 01:17:54.790 align:middle line:84%
So far, the mission's been
going pretty well.

system's down.

01:18:11.108 --> 01:18:12.972 align:middle line:90%
It was the wrong cable.

01:18:12.972 --> 01:18:16.360 align:middle line:84%
When I was installing
the recorder I

01:18:16.360 --> 01:18:18.350 align:middle line:90%
disconnected the A10 cable.

01:18:18.350 --> 01:18:21.433 align:middle line:84%
I fixed it right away but
I think it screwed

01:18:21.433 --> 01:18:22.390 align:middle line:90%
up the whole system.

01:18:22.390 --> 01:18:25.260 align:middle line:84%
Look, if ground calls, don't
tell them about the cable.

01:18:25.260 --> 01:18:29.555 align:middle line:90%

Ah, this is a tricky
situation.

01:18:31.782 --> 01:18:35.149 align:middle line:84%
You believe it's important to
tell the ground what happened.

01:18:35.149 --> 01:18:38.690 align:middle line:84%
At the same time, you don't want
Chuck to get in trouble.

to figure this out.

01:18:44.110 --> 01:18:45.185 align:middle line:90%
We got to tell them.

01:18:45.185 --> 01:18:47.520 align:middle line:84%

reboot started.

say what the impact is.

backfire on you, if the ground

01:19:33.152 --> 01:19:34.960 align:middle line:84%
finds out that you knew
what happened.

01:19:34.960 --> 01:19:37.090 align:middle line:84%

GUEST SPEAKER 1: The reason I'm
showing you this is that

01:19:42.440 --> 01:19:44.820 align:middle line:84%
this is one approach that I've
taken to teaching how to

01:19:44.820 --> 01:19:47.410 align:middle line:84%
handle an interaction with
somebody through sort of a

01:19:47.410 --> 01:19:47.880 align:middle line:90%

not a game.

There's no time limit.

01:19:51.220 --> 01:19:54.060 align:middle line:84%
It's more of an interactive
movie.

01:19:54.060 --> 01:19:57.570 align:middle line:84%
But with the teaching points
here, just like what Cesar's

01:19:57.570 --> 01:20:00.870 align:middle line:84%
given you is, we can give this
to an astronaut and they'll

01:20:00.870 --> 01:20:04.050 align:middle line:84%
read it in 5-10 minutes and say,
yup, got it, what's the

01:20:04.050 --> 01:20:04.760 align:middle line:90%
next thing.

01:20:04.760 --> 01:20:06.820 align:middle line:84%
That doesn't mean they actually
can use it, remember

01:20:06.820 --> 01:20:09.420 align:middle line:90%
it, absorbed it.

01:20:09.420 --> 01:20:10.745 align:middle line:84%
and I'm not saying that
this is the way they

01:20:10.745 --> 01:20:11.600 align:middle line:90%
should do your games.

01:20:11.600 --> 01:20:17.395 align:middle line:84%
But that this is one approach
that we've taken to try to get

01:20:17.395 --> 01:20:20.730 align:middle line:84%
them more involved with the
material in more of a

or two more of this.

You don't want to be blamed for

On next Wednesday, which is
the Wednesday right before

01:23:45.290 --> 01:23:49.040 align:middle line:84%
Thanksgiving, I think a couple
of folks are probably going to

have been doing in

01:24:00.095 --> 01:24:01.540 align:middle line:90%
response to TSA [LAUGHTER].

01:24:04.420 --> 01:24:07.250 align:middle line:84%
Getting to the airport early,
if you are flying out, might

01:24:07.250 --> 01:24:08.890 align:middle line:90%
be a good idea.

01:24:08.890 --> 01:24:12.120 align:middle line:84%
Because if everybody decides
to refuse the bag scanner

01:24:12.120 --> 01:24:15.430 align:middle line:84%
scans and the body searches,
then we're talking about some

01:24:15.430 --> 01:24:15.910 align:middle line:90%
real delays.

01:24:15.910 --> 01:24:17.170 align:middle line:90%
Anyway.

01:24:17.170 --> 01:24:21.090 align:middle line:84%
So I think what I'm going to
do is [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

01:24:21.090 --> 01:24:22.340 align:middle line:90%
this class.

01:24:25.590 --> 01:24:28.525 align:middle line:84%
If there are teams who are
really wanting to do a live

01:24:28.525 --> 01:24:31.550 align:middle line:84%
action game, and they want to
get a head start on that, talk

01:24:31.550 --> 01:24:32.560 align:middle line:90%
to me directly.

01:24:32.560 --> 01:24:37.150 align:middle line:84%
And maybe what we can do is,
meet up with you as a team.

01:24:37.150 --> 01:24:40.220 align:middle line:84%
And try to get some
of ideas across.

01:24:40.220 --> 01:24:43.450 align:middle line:90%
Do a brainstorming with me.

01:24:43.450 --> 01:24:46.610 align:middle line:84%
I will also get into talking
about live action games the

01:24:46.610 --> 01:24:47.907 align:middle line:90%

01:24:47.907 --> 01:24:50.769 align:middle line:84%
I'll schedule one of the
classes for that.

01:24:50.769 --> 01:24:54.130 align:middle line:84%
So we're not going to
miss that topic.

01:24:54.130 --> 01:24:56.880 align:middle line:84%
I just worried that if we get
to it too late, and you are

01:24:56.880 --> 01:24:58.470 align:middle line:84%
making live action games, then
you don't have enough material

01:24:58.470 --> 01:24:59.720 align:middle line:90%
to work with.

01:24:59.720 --> 01:25:06.590 align:middle line:90%


01:25:06.590 --> 01:25:10.520 align:middle line:84%
Finally, about this assignment,
if the subject

01:25:10.520 --> 01:25:16.436 align:middle line:84%
matter is at all uncomfortable
for you to work with, and you

01:25:16.436 --> 01:25:22.620 align:middle line:84%
can't really find something in
this fairly large topic that

01:25:22.620 --> 01:25:25.531 align:middle line:84%
you will be comfortable working
with and you can't

01:25:25.531 --> 01:25:28.720 align:middle line:84%
find a team, talk
to me directly.

01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:31.950 align:middle line:84%
And we can work out some
other assignment.

01:25:31.950 --> 01:25:34.270 align:middle line:84%
I can't say that I have an
assignment in my back pocket

01:25:34.270 --> 01:25:37.930 align:middle line:84%
all ready to go, and more
likely than not, I'm

01:25:37.930 --> 01:25:40.799 align:middle line:90%
half-assing it too.

01:25:40.799 --> 01:25:45.629 align:middle line:84%
I would much prefer folks to
work on this problem that I

01:25:45.629 --> 01:25:46.595 align:middle line:90%
think is fascinating.

01:25:46.595 --> 01:25:50.459 align:middle line:84%
And a pretty big problem that
you can find some small

01:25:50.459 --> 01:25:51.425 align:middle line:84%
project that you're
comfortable with.

01:25:51.425 --> 01:25:56.080 align:middle line:84%
But if you are, I don't want to
make anyone uncomfortable

01:25:56.080 --> 01:25:57.580 align:middle line:90%
due to [INAUDIBLE].

01:25:57.580 --> 01:25:58.830 align:middle line:90%
So just talk to me.
