AP - In one of the highest-profile financial fraud cases in history, a judge firmly sided with Bernard Madoff’s thousands of victims when he gave the disgraced financier a sentence long enough for him to die in prison.

The person has a head and hair and skin - there are no eyes, ears, or mouth though.
The painting has a chaotic scenery/background - not really anything recognizable.
The painting is a self portrait also.
If I recall correctly, it means some sort of dehumanization or depersonalization. The person being stripped of their face–whoever he or she is–is being rendered as an object.
What that means would depend on the context of the rest of the painting. Such as: Is this the way the client paints people in general, or is it just one or two specific people? Or is it just the client him/herself? Does the de-facing happen violently, or does it occur as part of an otherwise peaceful, non-dissonant scene? Does the de-facing seem intentional, as if the client were trying to use perspective and render someone from a distance (some folks who *aren't* mentally ill have problems with drawing and painting perspective)? Or is it more of a compulsive theme or trope?
^_^ I know….pardon the overly simple, layman-analysis thing here. You've likely looked into all of these things and more. My apologies. You get the point though? Rendering a person as an object can mean a *Lot* of different things depending on the context within which it takes place.
I hope this was helpful…thanks for your time. Edit: Ok then….just on a superficial level, I'd say your client was feeling lost. Being adrift in chaos, left *alone* to deal with his/her miseries (whether it's true or not, that's what is on the client's mind). The defacing in context is a red flag too–it means, possibly, that the client feels *institutionalized*, like he/she is just a pawn or object *of the system*, which would signal a *serious* external locus of control. The client just doesn't feel like he/she owns *anything* or is powerful over *anything*, that instead the "powers that be" completely *dominate* his/her life. Helplessness and powerlessness, in Plain English. I don't think I have to mention that if this persists long-term there could be a self-harm or suicide risk. Oops.
Does anybody think that the children that were raised in the cellar with their mother under the gruesome Josef Fritzl's house will ever be well enough to lead a (well as normal as possible life!)
Or is there too much damage done IE not enough sunlight, not enough space to stand, social retardation etc.
This story is the sickest thing I have ever heard of and I hope and wish the kids and the mother Elisebeth all the very best in health and mental wellness, God bless them.
Sadly, I don't think any of them will be able to live a normal life. Not even the 5-year-old; in fact, not even the 3 children who lived "normal" lives upstairs, as they are all inbred. The 19-year-old will soon die, as is now painfully clear. The 18-year old male will suffer most as he is the oldest and lived his entire life in that prison. No, they will never be whole.
For this reason, I believe no punishment is severe enough for him.
God has surely bestowed tremendous mercy on this subhuman filth by allowing him to be captured and punished in this life, thus mitigating his punishment in the next…which from the looks of things, won't be too far off.
Ever since I was little, according to my mom, two years old, I have had this urge to shake my hand for long periods of time during times of stress, excitement, and even when I am just plain doing nothing. In a way, it helps me to think and "imagine" things. From what I can find, the only thing that even seems viable for this is called a tic disorder but even that doesnt seem a hundred percent correct. What could this be? What can treat this?
It could be a symptom of Tourette's Syndrome. Most people think of that as yelling obscenities for no reason, but there's actually a wide range of tics and behaviors that fall under that diagnosis.
Another thing you might consider is something on the milder end of the autism spectrum, possibly Asperger's. People with these conditions often use "stims," or self-stimulating behaviors, as a means of self-soothing during stressful times.
Regardless, you would be better off getting a diagnosis. If you are in high school or college, see if your school offers free screening. Public schools are required to provide this if a student or parent requests it.
<P>This unique volume gives readers a front-row seat at an exciting and crucial symposium.</P> <P></P> <P>Recent advances in theory and treatment have significantly increased our understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Yet research on OCD generally falls in categories of either behavioral or biological, and rarely do the two meet. <EM>Concepts and Controversies in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder</EM> bridges this gap admirably.

To further enrich the debate, timely chapters examine special areas such as sexual addictions, body dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania, Tourette??’s syndrome, and compulsive shopping in the context of OCD.</P> <P> <P></P>This level of discussion and argument, with itspossibility for collaboration and integration, makes <EM>Concepts and Controveries of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder </EM>unique and productive reading for students, researchers, and therapists of all orientations as they design the next generation of theory and greater
Okay, well the video says it all!!
