%X Objective.  Recent evidence indicates that physicians are at high risk for patient-perpetrated violence. The objectives of this article, in association with case reports of patients with chronic pain (PWCP), are the following: to review the literature and determine if pain physicians could be at risk for PWCP-perpetrated violence; to review the current evaluation and management procedures for potentially violent patients; and to identify some situations specific to PWCPs that can heighten the risk of PWCP-perpetrated violence.<p />
