Sensory Deprivation on a Psychiatric Ward is Malpractrice

The use of Sensory Deprivation on a Psychiatric Ward by psychiatrists and psychiatric hospitals is malpractice. The typical psychiatric ward has the psychiatric patients laying in bed or sitting in unconfortable chairs in a hospital day room for hours at a time without any enjoyable stimulation. When a person in this situation is subject to such sensory deprivation the result is that the person begins to hallucinate and become psychotic. See, Mark Benjamin, "Sensory Deprivation Torture" (2007). Also, the person can begin to talk to him or herself out loud.
Since the goal of psychiatry is to diminish or eliminate psychosis or other symptoms in the psychistric patient, obviously having a regime of sensory deprivation on a psychiatric ward which produces psychosis is malpractice by the psychiatrist and the psychiatric hospital. In order to avoid sensory deprivation on the ward, the patients should have their own music, dvds to watch, enjoyable hobbies to work on, and frequent outings to outside movie theatres for a movie and out to eat at good restaurants.

Fact Judgment and Psychology of Consciousness

Psychology of Consciousness is that branch of Psychology which is concerned with human consciousness, as a broader form of Cognitive Psychology. Psychology of Consciousness includes Cognitive Psychology, Faculty Psychology, Educational Psychology, Jurisprudential Psychology, Developmental Psychology, and Transpersonal Psychology. Fact Judgment is an interesting area of interest to Psychologists of Consciousness. Fact Judgment can be referred to as either a Cognitive Faculty or a Cognitive Function. Fact Judgment is based on the Cognitive Psychology of Bernard Lonergan. Lonergan argued that facts are known through a judgment of fact which involves a three fold cognitive process of Experience, Understanding, and Judgment. Fact Judgment takes place when the person forms an analogical judgment that his or her or hae sense experience is analogous to his or her or hae understanding. Thus, for example, a person can experience a Tree with sense experience, and then describe and categorize and compare the ideas resulting from that sense experience with understanding, and then judge that or conclude that the sense experience of the Tree and the understanding of the Tree are sufficiently analogous to form a probable judgment of fact, that the Tree is real or factually exists.
