In 1970 The Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) was founded as the private practice entity of The University of South Florida College of Medicine's Psychiatry Department. This College of Medicine was one of seven new medical schools simultaneously being built in the United States. Psychiatry was the first clinical Department in the School. In 1974, when the School graduated its first class, The Neuropsychiatric Institute became Florida's first private interdisciplinary mental health practice consisting of neuropsychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses and mental health counselors.
With Board Certified Adult and Child Neuropsychiatrists running the programs, the Institute has made major contributions, both inpatient and outpatient, in the areas of mental health care. The first Chronic Pain Clinic in the Southeast was created in 1974 by a neurosurgeon/psychiatrist. Throughout the years, the Neuropsychiatric Institute has been at the forefront of mental health care innovation and has created inpatient and outpatient addiction programs for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, Eating Disorders, Gambling Addiction, Sexual Dysfunction, and a comprehensive Children's Program. In 1982, NPI introduced the first Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber to the Tampa Bay Area. In 1984, The Neuropsychiatric Institute created a Managed Behavioral Health Services Program in conjunction with Cigna Health Care, with offices in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Petersburg and Brandon. It grew to a national company and was the first mental health managed care program in the United States. Testimony before the U.S. Congress by NPI's Director was part of the beginning of many beneficial changes in American health care delivery systems.
Today, The Neuropsychiatric Institute provides extensive outpatient Behavioral Health Services in the Tampa Bay Area. Our clinical staff is made up of Neuropsychiatrists, Psychologists, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Social Workers, Mental Health Counselors and Massage Therapists. We use a multidisciplinary team approach to treatment.
Philosophy and Clinical Orientation to Treatment
Neuropsychiatric Institute provides Behavioral Health Services for Adults, Children and Adolescents. We believe that as long as you have your problems under control, then you do not need Psychiatric assistance. However, if the problems have control of you, then you should seek help. Our approach is an eclectic, common sense approach. "Whatever works, works." Although we do use medications, our approach is to keep it to a minimum. Below is a list of some of the most common problems with which we deal.

The Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (Florida Statute 394.451-394.47891[1] (2009 rev.)), commonly known as the "Baker Act," allows the involuntary institutionalization and examination of an individual.
The Baker Act allows for involuntary examination (what some call emergency or involuntary commitment). It can be initiated by judges, law enforcement officials, physicians, or mental health professionals. There must be evidence that the person:
- possibly has a mental illness (as defined in the Baker Act).
- is a harm to self, harm to others, or self neglectful (as defined in the Baker Act).
Examinations may last up to 72 hours after a person is deemed medically stable and occur in over 100 Florida Department of Children and Families-designated receiving facilities statewide.[2]
There are many possible outcomes following examination of the patient. This includes the release of the individual to the community (or other community placement), a petition for involuntary inpatient placement (what some call civil commitment), involuntary outpatient placement (what some call outpatient commitment or assisted treatment orders), or voluntary treatment (if the person is competent to consent to voluntary treatment and consents to voluntary treatment). The involuntary outpatient placement language in the Baker Act took effect as part of the Baker Act reform in 2005.
The act was named for a Florida state representative from Miami, Maxine Baker,[3] who had a strong interest in mental health issues, served as chair of a House Committee on Mental Health, and was the sponsor of the bill.
The nickname of the legislation has led to the term "Baker Act" as a transitive verb, and "Baker Acted" as a passive-voice verb, for invoking the Act to force an individual's commitment. Although the Baker Act is a statute only for the state of Florida, use of "Baker Acting" as a verb has become prevalent as a slang term for involuntary commitment in other regions of the United States.[4][not in citation given]
Clarification of Baker Act criteria[edit]
Specific criteria must be met in order to initiate involuntary examination. Among those criteria are the following elements, that by themselves, do not qualify an individual as having met or meeting the criteria:
Reason to believe that the person has a mental illness; refusal of voluntary examination; the person is unable to determine whether examination is necessary. Criteria are not met simply because a person has mental illness, appears to have mental problems, takes psychiatric medication, or has an emotional outburst. Criteria are not met simply because a person refuses voluntary examination. Criteria are not met if there are family members or friends that will help prevent any potential and present threat of substantial harm.
The criteria, as stated in the statute, mentions a substantial likelihood that without care or treatment the person will cause serious bodily harm in the near future. ("Substantial" means ample, considerable, firm or strong.)
To further clarify this point of substantial likelihood, there must be evidence of recent behavior to justify the substantial likelihood of serious bodily harm in the near future. Moments in the past, when an individual may have considered harming themselves or another, do not qualify the individual as meeting the criteria. ("Near" means close, short, or draws near.)[5]
This Medicare paper was on a table in the Condo owned by Loretta Miller . The Envelope was foreward to the Condo's address and opened by an unknown person. Elizabeth was under the Power of Attorney of Susan King. Susan King had the key to the mail box as well as Claire Soucie he next door neighbor who also had a key to the front door When we arrived we had the locks changed and the back door was wide open. The water was turned off at the main valve . The water was never disconnected because I was paying a water bill since 2003. When we opened the front door someone ran out the back door fast. We secured the property turn on a dehumidifier we purchased and placed in a window air conditioner to stop the mold growth.
Loretta had no Power of Attorney to Baker Act Elizabeth. Yet in 2015 when Susan King was asked by a author who is writing a book on this case to explain why Elizabeth was Baker Acted she lied and stated her daughter in law Loretta Baker acted her. When it was on the records Susan King Baker Acted Elizabeth when Elizabeth attacked her because she didn't get her way. In the past Elizabeth had attacked Marcus for suggesting her to use the dishwasher. She attack Jordan with pots and pans as a child and attacked him in writing as an adult. She attempted to bite Loretta in the hand at the Menorah House because she wasn't getting her way. She also threw herself across a bed and began screaming that Loretta and Marcus was beating her. Loretta and Marcus was standing in the doorway with new clothes. The nurse walked in who was right outside. She saw Loretta and Marcus standing in the doorway with a bag and Elizabeth throwing herself on the bed beating on her chest and face, The nurse asked what is wrong. Lakie looked up and said she bought clothes and they are not my style, I asked the nurse to arrange to get a psychiatrist in to see Lakie. Lakie had Claire Soucie help her when the psychiatrist came to see her and Claire vouch she will control her during her stay. Claire Soucie interfered with getting Lakie mental issues medically controlled. Lakie was dangerous.
Elizabeth had 2 personalities. Elizabeth was the child. Lakie was the nasty crazy adult who heard voices. You can see the personality difference demonstrated in this letter below.
Susan King isolated Elizabeth from her family told her all we wanted was her money. When it was all Susan King wanted was the Condo Property and her money.
Elizabeth was so easily manipulated by strangers because of her hate for me. She fed them how much she hated me and they kept telling her what she said.Reinforcing it
I knew she was part of the murder of Eva and stole money from the estate to give people less to receive. She was self appointed administratrix She also withheld a Will from Scott which I found and sent it to him along with a hot water semi vas that was his mother's, Claire, that Lakie stole and was left in the condo in Philadelphia at the Kennedy house.
My attorney Mr Gamo contacted Susan King and told her the Hurricanes Jean and Francis did major damage to the condo and Susan King said no the condo was fine. Then we found out Susan King had no longer been Elizabeth's attorney and she had an attorney named Polotti. I got a note from the Condo board on the damages first.
The mold that Susan King said she did not see after I got the keys and entered
This is what I had to clean up and it cost me $60,000 to remove the walls and the cabinets and replace everything including the furniture to sell the property. And Elizabeth the great Real Estate Contractor did not put a dime into the property. However, she tried to sue me for her half and she got a big surprise I counter sued her for the costs, the condo fees I was paying, the electric I was paying, the water bill I was paying the Taxes I was paying which she never homestead and claimed this was her homestead. What she owed me was over $159,000. Plus 1/2 rent for living there so her attorney claimed she was living there when she was living in the Elysium Residence and bought another condo in Broward County which at the end abandoned it She owed 4 years of costs for the condo in Palm Beach County plus plus plus.. Normally Condos are rented out. Her New attorney told me she didn't live there since 2003 and Never put her foot into the property. . But she wanted her half of the apartment insurance I paid that was in my name. Susan King moved her furniture and I got blamed for things missing. I got a signed statement that everything she said about me was retracted and not true. This statement was filed in court. But then Kauffman and Schlanger ignored the statement and tried to press false claims on me. And that is when I sued everyone including Elizabeth on a Pro Se law suit..
