The Saugus High School shooter’s father was arrested for domestic violence two years before his death………..and experts say that mass shooting more frequently have a connection to domestic violence than mental illness.

People who knew the 16-year-old boy suspected of killing two students in a burst of gunfire at a high school outside Los Angeles described him as a quiet, smart kid who they'd never expect to turn violent. Police didn't identify the gunman other than describing him as Asian; law enforcement sources told CBS News the suspected shooter has been identified as Nathaniel Berhow.

The shooting that killed two teenagers and wounded three others at Saugus High School in a Los Angeles suburb took just 16 seconds and left the attacker hospitalized in critical condition with a head wound, authorities said. The video showed the last thing the assailant did was shoot himself with the final bullet in the .45-caliber handgun, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Captain Kent Wegener said.

The weapon was empty when it was recovered.

The crazy story of how ‘Stockholm syndrome’ got its name

#Movies #Hostage #PattyHearst #Psychology #StockholmSyndrome #Sweeden “Is there something wrong with me? Why don’t I hate them?” In 1973, 21-year-old Elisabeth Oldgren posed this question to a psychiatrist in the wake of a robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, in which she and three other bank workers had been held hostage from Aug. 23-28. As the standoff neared an end, police were perplexed by the victims’ concern for their two captors: Despite cops’ orders that the hostages be the first to leave the bank vault in which they’d all been holed up, all four refused. ame> “Jan and Clark [the criminals] go first — you’ll gun them down if we do!” 23-year-old Kristin Ehnmark yelled back. The nationwide spectacle led to the genesis of the term “Stockholm syndrome,” in which a person held against their will comes to sympathize deeply with their abductor. In America, the phrase is more commonly associated with the 1974 case of Patty Hearst, the kidnapped heiress turned bank robber. It h...

I Was in The Black Eyed Peas. Then I Quit. | 'Almost Famous' from Op-Docs

#BlackEyedPeas #WillIAm #KimHill #AlmostFamous #Op-Docs #NewYorkTimes In the mid-1990s, the singer and songwriter Kim Hill met a young rapper who suggested they start making music. That rapper’s name was will.i.am, and his group was a rising Los Angeles underground hip-hop crew called The Black Eyed Peas. The rest is history — or is it? Hill found herself at a crossroads in 2000 and decided to quit the group and find her own voice, only to look on as The Black Eyed Peas reached global stardom with earworms like “I Gotta Feeling.” Having missed out on what every performer dreams of, does Hill regret her decision? “Almost Famous” is a special Op-Docs series of short films directed by Ben Proudfoot featuring people who nearly made history — only to fall short. These are tales of overcoming disappointment at its most epic, from an astronaut who never flew to a superstar who never was.

Is it couple therapy, couple’s therapy, or couples therapy?

#BenCaldwell #MentaHealth #Psychology #HealthyRelationships #Couples #Therapy #MFT By Ben Caldwell , www.psychotherapynotes.com Okay, let’s not pretend this is an important question in the grand scheme of things. It is not. But for anxious types (like me) who want to make sure we’re using the right terminology, how do we describe that service of providing relationship therapy for two people? Is it couple therapy, couple’s therapy, or couples therapy? I’m proud to offer a definitive, authoritative answer.* Read on. The evidence: AAMFT and state licensing boards The American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy seems content to not stake a flag in this debate. They manage to use all three variations in the most recent issue of Family Therapy Magazine . Heck, they’re all in the first seven pages. But we can draw some inferences from the organization’s title: While they don’t say “couple,” they do use the sin...
