abstract="PURPOSE: The study explored the lived experiences of violence by patients with mood disorders against their biological parents who were the major caregivers (13 parent-adult-child dyads), and sought to gain an understanding of the precipitating factors influencing violence. DESIGN AND METHODS: Data were collected by means of in-depth semi-structured interviews, managed and subjected to hermeneutics-guided thematic networks analysis. <br><br>FINDINGS: The phenomenon was that violence was part of life. The four global themes were that increased irritability and poor impulse control lead to violence; violence causes anxiety; a transition from violence to nonviolence is difficult; and moving from descriptions of violence to analyses of violence is important. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: A comprehensive dyadic parent-child intervention program and de-escalation techniques are suggested to manage violence substantially.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
