Medical Model

When conducting Visual Connection Mapping sometimes I may or may not consider what is justice and what is not justice.

Three components of justice that I may / or may not consider when applying Visual Connection Mapping are from the principles of the Code of Hammurabi from 1772 BC, namely

  1. actus reus
  2. mens rea
  3. non compos mentis

Sometimes / on occasionJust-World-Hypothesis-300x255, Visual Connection Mapping would apply theories from others, such as the Just World Hypothesis, namely that actions and conditions have predictable and appropriate consequences.

When I conducted Visual Connection Mapping in the drop in center at Our Place Society on Pandora in Victoria City Vancouver Island, BC Canada every Wednesday morning from 0900 to 1100 am (for a number of years pro bono as a trained and qualified Mental Health and Addictions Practitioner), many individuals without a home and living on the streets of Victoria City, BC would refer to the Bible text of Jeremiah, specifically and often even themselves quoting, Jeremiah 10:23 on the corruption of man. They would not be referring to themselves (the individuals without a home in Victoria City, BC) but rather the staff in charge, the three levels of government and society as a whole.

Ethics that Visual Connection Mapping abides by:

  1. “Whatever I see or hear, professionally or privately, which ought not to be divulged, I will keep secret and tell no one.” P. 67 & 68
  2. “The Canon. The Chief cause for this seems to me to be that it is the only science for which states have laid down no penalties for malpractice.”P. 67 & 68 (This component means that one needs to continue to check and recheck ones ethics in order to continue to do positive work to help others – without the ability to do self-checks the chance of malpractice exists. It is necessary to always to self-check; if one does not do self-checks and re-checks one is forced to abandon helping others altogether)

While working with the City of Victoria’s most vulnerable population on Pandora ST at Our Pl;ace Society, British Columbia Canada – I often experienced a profound sense of religious feelings. Often Bible verses would help me to understand and gain insight into what I was feeling and they often helped me put undescribeable situations, feelings and observations into some sort of context, which often lead to a kind of transcendence experience, which was impossible to slot into language. It went so far beyond the English Language.

Title: Essay on Treatment Resistant Psychosis from Sept 02, 2014

Treatment Resistant Psychosis is a medical condition. It is the result of not receiving adequate care through the Canadian Medical System. Treatment Resistant Psychosis consists of the symptoms of schizophrenia but it is not schizophrenia as schizophrenia is a medical term that means that an individual has had their symptoms of schizophrenia treated in the Canadian Medical Hospital. The actual name schizophrenia refers to the diagnosis that a medical professional has given an individual with the intention to treat, rehabilitate and conquer all of the both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. In contrast treatment resistant psychosis is the outward and inward symptoms of untreated schizophrenia. Over the decades the non-treated symptoms of schizophrenia do not receive a medical containment and this results in the individuals with treatment resistant psychosis visiting the drop in center at Our Place Society on Pandora Avenue in Victoria, British Columbia where I help individuals with treatment resistant psychosis.
