INDIVIDUAL PATHOLOGY

Sociologyindex, Sociology Books 2011

Individual pathology is a term used to refer to biological or psychological explanations of criminal or deviant behaviour by individuals.

The assumption is that the deviant behaviour of individuals can be at least partly explained by some physical or psychological trait that makes them different from normal law abiding citizens.

Abstract Bowen family systems theory suggests that individuals who report high levels of individual pathology will also report having been raised in families characterized by high conflict and low adaptability. Combining individual and family assessment measures, or using one type of measure to understand the results of the other may be possible through the application of systems theory. Therapeutic implications of the study reported here indicate that practitioners should consider the value of focusing on family of origin processes before a primary focus on isolated traumatic events guides the direction of therapy.

DOI: 10.1080/09627250508553433
Abstract: Three key facts by way of introduction. First, greater use of penal custody for children is made in England and Wales than in most other industrialised democratic countries in the world (Youth Justice Board for England and Wales, 2004). Second, the juvenile inmates of state prisons (Young Offender Institutions) and private jails (Secure Training Centres), routinely comprise some of society's most disadvantaged, distressed and damaged children (Goldson, 2002). Third, 28 children died in penal custody (26 in state prisons and 2 in private jails) in England and Wales between July 1990 and January 2005, and literally thousands more were physically, emotionally and/or psychologically harmed (Goldson and Coles, 2005).
