Abstract

Recent developments in the study of violent behaviour have led social scientists to examine the concept of Overcontrolled Hostility. This case report describes the history of an overcontrolled individual who was examined in a Maximum Security Hospital after having shot his wife. The presentation of this case includes a brief theoretical perspective, as well as the results of psychiatric and psychological examinations.
