Violence and Mental Disorder takes the debate about violence into new territory by increasing our understanding of the wide range of factors associated with the commission of violence. This comprehensive and critical review of the literature is intended for a broad audience, including clinicians, researchers and policy makers working in this complex area. It is a much-needed resource for mental health professionals whose day-to-day work involves assessing and managing those thought to be at risk of engaging in acts of violence.
