Ep. 5 - Strong Finnish feat. Totti Karpela

What do we know about risk? What should we know? What do we measure and how?   And why are most clinicians bad at business?   From the mean streets* of Wellington, New Zealand, we talk with Professor Stephen Hart, Director and Threat Assessment Specialist at Protect International Risk and Safety Services, and Professor of Psychology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia.    * Actually the luxurious Intercontinental Hotel  

Ep. 4 - Straight From The Hart feat. Prof Stephen Hart

TAPwrap is back for 2018 with a full-length blockbuster episode, chock full of fixation and vexatious grievance. But enough about the hosts. In this episode, we go deep on the assessment, treatment, practicalities and politics of stalking and intimate partner violence, with academic expert and master storyteller Dr Lorraine Sheridan of Curtin University.   SHOW NOTES Dr Barry Rosenfeld Dialectical Behavior Therapy for the Treatment of Stalking Offenders [Rosenfeld et al 2007] Interview   Are arranged marriages happier than “love marriages”? Depends on who you ask, but they don’t seem to be any less happy: Dr Robert Epstein Prof Pamela Regan The quote fumbled by Luke is from Max Planck, “Die Wahrheit triumphiert nie, ihre Gegner sterben nur aus”. Paraphrased in English as ”truth never triumphs—its opponents just die out” or “science advances one funeral at a time.”   Books, papers, research and others mentioned in this episode (more to come as we rifle the databases!): Stalkers and their Victims [Mullen et al 2008] Amazon link   The Third Policeman [Flann O’Brien, 1967] Amazon linkThe audiobook read by Jim Norton is delightful!  Bad Boy Bubby (1993) UPCOMING 2018 EVENTS APATAP Annual Conference | Wellington | 5-7 March AETAP Annual Conference | Helsinki | 23-26 April ATAP Annual Threat Management Conference | Anaheima | 14-17 August ANZAPPL Annual Congress | Hobart | 21-24 November  

Ep. 3 - Let's Talk Less Stalk, feat. Dr Lorraine Sheridan

Is social media a threat to kids? Are video games a menace to everyone? Does “digital self-harm” really exist? And what is actually working to improve online safety in Australia and New Zealand?   Right in the Head heads right into Sydney for Online Safety: On The Edge, hosted by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner and Netsafe New Zealand. It’s a triple-decker conference with the lot, and we break down the schedule, highlights, conundrums, and big ideas emerging around issues of online safety and threat management.   Then we wonk out with UNICEF’s Daniel Kardefelt-Winther, over research, evidence-based practice, gaming, and what everyone should know about the Global Kids Online Project.   Show notes and links:   Office of the eSafety Commissioner Netsafe New Zealand Dr Daniel Kardefelt-Winther at UNICEF and on Twitter The Global Kids Online PRoject The great Blizzard nymwar of 2010 The notorious hot sauce study WA Police get it exactly wrong “In the context of cyberbullying, adults/parents need to understand that content cannot be reliably filtered or controlled and ceasing participation in social media is the only effective method to end cyberbullying...Some parents are confronted by the notion of equitability and believe denying their child social media access is punishing them as the victim. These perspectives are ethically correct but practically irrelevant." 

Ep. 2 - Over The Edge feat. Dr Daniel Kardefelt-Winther

  In the first episode of TAPwrap, we talk with Dr Michael Davis, forensic clinical psychologist and specialist in the assessment of sexual deviance and paraphilic behaviours.   In a discussion ranging from campus violence and vicarious trauma, to historical texts and working nude, our presenters cover (or uncover), places, people and practices in contemporary threat assessment.   Audio quality is a work in progress, and we look forward to cleaner sound plus some atmospheric music in future episodes!     Show Notes and links: APATAP 2018 Annual Conference: Alert but not alarmed, threat assessment in the everyday context ANZAPPL Annual Congress: Psychiatry, Psychology and Law in a Changing World ANZAPPL Victoria events   Feedback: hq@rightinthehead.com.au
