Aggression01:47

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...
Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...
Group Design02:01

Group Design

The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder01:27

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events, are a...
Nursing Diagnosis01:22

Nursing Diagnosis

Following assessment, a nursing diagnosis is the next step in the nursing process. It begins after the nurse has collected and recorded the patient data. The purpose of diagnosing is to identify how the client responds to actual or potential health processes, identify factors that bestow or that cause health problems, the etiologies, and identify resources or strengths the individual, group, or community can draw on to prevent or resolve problems.
The nursing diagnosis focuses on evidence-based...
Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model01:15

Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic illness...

This summary is machine-generated.

Current violence categorization systems are inadequate for medical management. This study introduces four violence patterns in psychiatric patients—defensive, dominance-defining, impulsive, and calculated—offering a new clinical classification for improved patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Neurobiology

Background:

  • Existing violence categorization systems in medical settings are insufficient for effective management.
  • There is a need for a more refined classification to guide clinical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe four common patterns of violence observed across psychiatric diagnoses.
  • To explore the management implications of these violence patterns.
  • To present the phenomenologic and neurobiological basis for a novel clinical violence classification system.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive analysis of violence patterns in psychiatric practice.
  • Review of phenomenologic and neurobiological literature relevant to violence.

Main Results:

  • Identification of four distinct violence patterns: defensive, dominance-defining, impulsive, and calculated.
  • Consideration of specific management strategies tailored to each pattern.

Conclusions:

  • A new clinical classification system for violence, based on identified patterns, can enhance management strategies in psychiatric care.
  • Understanding the phenomenologic and neurobiological underpinnings is crucial for developing effective interventions.
