N2  - Diagnostic summaries of 190 consecutive psychiatric outpatients were reviewed for experiences of physical and sexual violence. Close to one third of female patients had been victimized, and 29% of male patients had been abusive to others. The majority of the violence was intrafamilial. The findings suggest that systematic questioning of all patients regarding their experiences of violence is warranted.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
