A psychiatric intern is trained in various areas of recognizing unwanted behavior. If the 18

teen years old is displaying dangerous behavior he should be isolated. This will protect him

and staff. His family can have say in his medical evaluation. He should be observed for 48

hours.
The
His observation will help staff identifies the antecedent of his behavior. In a medical

perspective ,we can observe and try to identify individual abnormal behavior.The antecedent

may or may not be found in a physical examination. In psychiatric we can look for thisn

examination, hormonal imbalance, chemical deficiency or genetic factors may be found. If the

young man had been taken ecstasy or any other controlled substance he might be under

withdraw.

The inmate is 18 teen years old so he can call shots in regards to his treatment. Genetic

factors play a major role n an individual’s behavior. If we focus on sociocultural perspective,

his mental situation may become complicated. We can assume his behavior is an antecedent

of his society or culture. He may believe if he acts a certain way he will be treated differently,

and go to a mental ward.

In regards to the behavioral perspective, it would be hard to decipher his unwanted

behavior. Abnormal behavior is a very difficult aspect to uncover. Correlation isn’t always

causation. His behavior may be an antecedent of his environmental stimuli. This could also

reinforce his negative or positive behavior.

In closing, the inmate has a need that hasn’t been meeting. From my experience juveniles

look for help the best way they can. He being in the psyche ward is the best action for his

health. He will be diagnosed and

Treated. He isn’t in jail he is in the psychiatric woard. That is appropriate for his

abnormal behavior.
