Background: Workplace-disruptive behavior is an important public and organizational health issue that calls for public discourse. The high rates in Nigeria and its associated career illogical assumptions among teachers brought about this study to investigate the impact of rational emotive occupational health coaching (REOHC) on irrational career beliefs and workplace deviant behaviors in a sample of Nigerian primary school teachers.
Methods: A sample of 128 primary school teachers in Nigeria was recruited as participants. They were assigned to REOHC and control groups. Work deviance behavior scale and teacher irrational belief scale were used to assess the participants at 3 points. A pretest-post-test and follow-up design was used in this study.
Results: The findings indicated that the REOHC program significantly reduced work-deviant behaviors and irrational career beliefs among primary school teachers. The outcome also demonstrates the connection between groups and gender.
Conclusion: This study concluded that primary school teachers' work-related deviant behaviors and illogical beliefs were reduced as a result of the REOHC treatment. Therefore, occupational therapists should help teachers with deviant behaviors and irrational beliefs to change using rational emotive behavioral techniques.

Organic brain disorders (OBD), including rapid-growth cancerous tumors, can have significant neuropsychiatric effects and in some circumstances have led to the manifestation of deviant behaviors that conflict with societal norms. This report describes the case of a geriatric male patient in Switzerland with no prior history of delinquency who in later life repeatedly committed stalking offences and aggressive acts. An initial forensic-psychiatric evaluation diagnosed this individual with persistent delusional disorder based on pronounced symptoms and rigid personality traits; during this assessment, the patient refused neuroimaging scans but later consented to these examinations.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and antisocial traits are common in justice-involved samples, but research on their dynamics, precursors, and aftereffects regarding aggressive and violent behavior is scarce. In order to enlarge the current knowledge needed for effective risk assessment and reduction, the present study examined patterns of BPD and antisocial traits in a sample of 315 justice-involved males who had undergone psychological/psychiatric evaluation, focusing on their relations with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), self-reported physical aggression, as well as officially registered previous and future violent crime. Based on a comprehensive analysis of psychiatric/psychological evaluation reports and individuals' self-ratings, latent class analysis identified three distinct classes with (1) high probability of BPD and antisocial traits (n = 63), (2) high probability of antisocial traits only (n = 150), and (3) low probability of either (n = 102).
