TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Is Schizoid Personality a Forerunner of Homicidal or Suicidal Behavior?: A Case Study JO - International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology A1 - Loza, Wagdy A1 - Hanna, Samia SP - 338 EP - 343 VL - 50 IS - 3 N2 - The authors believe that a relationship exists between schizoid personality disorder and violent acts. The following case study is presented to contemplate such a possible relationship. There is a paucity of research on this topic. The authors suggest that further research closely examine the relationship between violent behavior and those character traits associated with schizoid personality disorder. If such a relationship is found, these character traits could be integrated with other risk factors known to predict violence.
