“…A second strand of research has focused upon the study of trauma and abuse in the development of violence in psychosis. Violent assaults in this group have been associated with a range of childhood trauma, including a strict disciplined childhood family environment (Carmen, Rieker, & Mills, 1984), parental discipline and physical, parental conflict (Yesavage et al, 1983), adversarial relationships with parents (Addad, Benezech, Bourgeois, & Yesavage, 1981), maternal rejection (Raine, Brennan, & Mednick, 1997), and sexual abuse (Heads, Taylor, & Leese, 1997).…”

Paranoid delusions have recently become the focus of empirical research. In this article, we review studies of the psychological mechanisms that might be involved in paranoid thinking and discuss their implications for forensic behaviour science. Paranoia has not been consistently associated with any specific neuropsychological abnormality. However, evidence supports three broad types of mechanism that might be involved in delusional thinking in general and paranoia in particular: anomalous perceptual experiences, abnormal reasoning, and motivational factors. There is some evidence that paranoia may be associated with hearing loss, and good evidence that paranoid patients attend excessively to threatening information. Although general reasoning ability seems to be unaffected, there is strong evidence that a jumping- to-conclusions style of reasoning about data is implicated in delusions in general, but less consistent evidence specifically linking paranoia to impaired theory of mind. Finally, there appears to be a strong association between paranoia and negative self-esteem, and some evidence that attempts to protect self-esteem by attributing negative events to external causes are implicated. Some of these processes have recently been implicated in violent behaviour, and they therefore have the potential to explain the apparent association between paranoid delusions and offending.

“…These authors also found a history of premorbid antisocial traits to be significantly more common (although still only approximately 8%) in the violent group compared with non-violent patients. Yesavage et al (1983) found inpatient assaults by male patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were positively correlated with severity of parental discipline, especially involving the father, and family conflict, especially involving fights between parents and fights with others outside the home. O'Connor (1988a, 1988b) followed up a group of male inpatients considered to be potentially violent, approximately half of whom had a diagnosis of schizophrenia, for a one-year period post-discharge.…”

“…Predisposing factors are likely to include experiences that model, reward, or reinforce the display of violence. Violent and nonviolent teenagers, violent and nonviolent psychiatric patients, and physically abusive and nonabusive husbands can be differentiated as a function of their history of witnessed or experienced abuse as a child (Klassen & O'Connor, 1994;Strauss, Gelles, & Steinmetz, 1980;Browne, 1987;Yesavage, Becker, & Werner, 1983).…”

Assessing and managing violence risk in outpatient settings

2000

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Psychologists and other mental health professionals practicing in essentially all clinical settings are called on to assess and manage clients who may pose a risk of violence to third parties. Over the past 25 years much has been learned about the relationship between violence and mental disorder, and about assessing violence risk. In this article risk factors for violence among persons with mental disorder are reviewed, clinical assessment strategies are discussed, and a model for thinking about treatment and other types of interventions designed to minimize violence risk is offered.
