Abstract

This article deals with the following three problems: 1. Which aspects must be given special consideration in respect of psychological diagnosis and therapy planning in those patients who have been referred to psychiatric treatment mainly because of violence displayed by them? 2. What are the conclusions we can draw from our knowledge of the behaviour of persons whose everyday behaviour patterns seem absolutely normal or even characterized by an inhibition of their aggressive tendencies, and who suddenly and unpredictably perform acts of aggression, and what are the conclusions we can draw from our experience in respect of the therapeutic management of such patients? 3. What is our knowledge regarding the actual course of aggressions and violence between patients and therapeutic personnel in everyday psychiatric ward practice, and what are the conclusions regarding a possible improvement of such interactions by appropriate therapy?
