abstract="The authors studied the hospital records of 400 hospitalized mentally ill patients for evidence of violent behavior leading to admission. They found that 36% of 321 admissions (excluding patients diagnosed as having a personality disorder or as drug-and/or alcohol-dependent) were preceded by some form of violent, fear-inspiring behavior. They suggest that mental health professionals deal with the general public's fear of the mentally ill on the basis of such findings rather than dismiss it as illogical.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
