Hello everyone! After a few quick messages back and forth with #1hotchfan I decided to add this page. If anyone is up to the challenge, I would love some help adding the episodes that these terms appear in.

Enjoy :-)

CMtime and anyone else interested:

Basically, all I am doing is adding psychological terms, if they are not already here, as I watch episodes and then linking them to the wiki page for that episode. I am doing my best to cite in APA format all the sources I have used to compile the information posted here and mostly I have just used my old psych textbooks for reference. So if you see a term and you know what episode it appears in, I would love some help getting those links up to the episode wiki pages.

Thanks :-)

You did a really awesome job with this page! I wish I would've paid better attention, I just watched all of Season 1 over again and I could've jotted down the titles and the info. they used. I know "Narcissist" was def. one of them they used in a few episodes from Season 1.

This is awesome! Great job!

Thanks for the compliment #1hotchfan :-)

I still feel like the page is in its infancy... so much to still add. CMtime offered to help with Season 1 so I am going to start working on Season 2. I think they used Narcissistic Personality Disorder in L.D.S.K. (to refer to the doctor that was a suspect) but other than that, no other season 1 episode is coming to mind immediately.

My goal is to link up all the episodes and have outside links to all the terms when it is all finished. Some of the information is easy to find online but--even though I have done it for a few terms--I hate to use Wikipedia as a source because it is not considered "reliable" in academia. My hope is to create something that is educational and well sourced, something that students who do online research can use to find other sources that are considered credible.

My university has a criminal justice major and I had quite a few CJ, pre-med forensic, and psychology students last semester in my composition class so one of my assignments this semester is going to be write about true crime. I am going to use a clip or two from Criminal Minds in the classroom as part that assignment's lectures. I still can't believe they pay me to have this much fun but anyway, as a composition instructor I know how hard it is for students to find reliable sources on the internet and I thought this little page could be my way of helping them in that department :-)

Ah, I wish I could remember but I just watched DVD #4&5 and I know they mentioned NPD or at least I remember Reid saying something about someone being Narcissistic in at least 1 or 2 more episodes. It just struck me as I heard it in more than 1 episode but I'm drawing a blank which ones.

Yeah, Wikipedia is not updated by any one person; anyone can update it and add information at any time. So, I hear you on that one.

I think what your doing is fantastic! Having fun while you do it makes it even more worthwhile! I look forward to watching the page grow and to learn more myself! :)

I noticed that Dissociative Identity Disorder formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder is not on the list. This psych diagnose was referenced in The Fisher King part 1 and Part 2.

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), as defined by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a condition in which a single person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment. The diagnosis requires that at least two personalities routinely take control of the individual's behavior with an associated memory loss that goes beyond normal forgetfulness; in addition, symptoms cannot be due to substance abuse or medical condition. Earlier versions of the DSM named the condition multiple personality disorder (MPD), and the term is still used by the ICD-10. There is controversy around the existence, the possible causes, the prevalence across cultures, and the epidemiology of the condition.

That's the 'The Big Game'/'Revelations' two-parter that you were thinking of (where the unsub has three personalities). 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I should also add that I got this information from the DSM-IV as well as Wikipedia

As a former profiler it's not enough to know these terms and what they mean, because everyone can apply them at one time or another to someone in their lives, its when it's a permanent basis and recognize the signs that this or that condition isn't something that is giong to change, or is a danger to others around them. A lot of these conditions are not as common as you might think, TV makes them more common for story lines and other reasons.

DID for example is very very rare, Sybil being one of the rarest cases. It's not as common as TV leads you to believe. Bipolar disease is more common. Please when you watch these shows remember they are story lines, and not reality, the numbers of people out suffer more from being without their meds then anything else.

i'm a new member-my name is heather. i'd love to help with this page. does anyone remember the episode in which hotch and reid visit a death row inmate in prison while the rest of the team is helping rossi find a murderer in indianapolis? the inmate threatens hotch and reid; reid proceeds to give an explanation of the inmate's condition, ending with '...you never had a chance.". does anyone know if this neurobiological explanation is accurate?

tend to disagree about DID being rare..rates vary by studies, much research is being done. My concern is that 'disorders' be treated in a fair balanced way. People who have DSM disorders are often misdiagnosed and/or go untreated. It is the ignorance of the general public thay find the storylines 'way-out-there', when in reality we are all capable of of that stressor[s]/triggers that would make it all make 'sense'[in a very sad way] Being off meds to me, in the above comment,is an overgeneralization, misleading & irresponsible. There is contoversy of of genetics-biological & enviromental-behavior. Just my thoughts[and my DID-diagnosed in 1987] excuse sp:( Do you find this valuable?
