The increasing number of crimes and assaults on family members, especially by minors and young adults, has turned scientists and researchers towards finding the answers in psychology and mental illness.
It is both tragic and surprising that a person would turn on his or her own family members and start executing them. To a layperson, this would seem irrational and absurd, but there are always reasons for someone to arrive at such a point that they break down completely and are ready to kill their own kin.
A recent case came to light when Austin Gus, the young son of Senator Creigh Deeds was apprehended for stabbing and shooting his own father several times. Fortunately, the Virginia State senator survived and recovered the attack after spending a few days in emergency. However, he may never recuperate from the inestimable grief for his son.
This and other similar cases speak for the need of looking deeper into the causes and symptoms of mental and psychological illness. There are several quality publication journals available on psychology, such as Bentham Science Publishers’ ‘Current Psychiatry Reviews’ that publishes frontier review articles and guest edited issues dedicated to clinical research on all the latest advances on clinical psychiatry and its related areas e.g. pharmacology, epidemiology, clinical care and therapy. The journal is an essential reading for all clinicians, psychiatrists and researchers in psychiatry.
