精神疾病和暴力之间的关系是一个长期存在的临床和政策重要性问题，最近关于这种关系的研究引发了新的争论。作者针对该协会提出了六项声明，这些声明似乎得到了最近调查的证实，并审查了研究证据。一般来说，与早期研究的结果相反，精神疾病与卷入暴力事件的可能性之间似乎确实存在关联。精神疾病和药物滥用的双重诊断可能会显着增加暴力风险，即使考虑到人口特征，精神疾病和暴力之间的关联也可能很重要。鉴于当前研究的相当大的局限性，未来研究的重点包括关注个体受试者的关联强度，纳入足够的非精神病患者比较组和广泛的变量，以及随着时间的推移对重复暴力个体进行深入研究。
The relationship of mental illness and violence is an issue of longstanding clinical and policy importance, and recent research on this association has sparked renewed debate. The author formulates six statements on the association that seem warranted by recent investigations and reviews the research evidence. In general, contrary to findings of earlier research, an association does appear to exist between mental illness and the likelibood of being involved in violent incidents. A dual diagnosis of mental illness and substance abuse probably significantly increases the risk for violence, and the association between mental illness and violence is probably significant even when demographic characteristics are taken into account. Given the considerable limitations of current research, priorities for future research include attention to the strength oftbe association for individual subjects, inclusion of adequate comparison groups of non-mentally-ill persons and a broad range of variables, and intensive studies of repetitively violent individuals over time.
