The psychiatric community has debated for years the significance
of the relationship between mental disorder and serious violence.
Psychopathology and Violent Crime goes to the heart of this
controversial and complex subject.
Dr. Skodol presents the results of extensive epidemiologic
samples and studies of criminal populations on the correlation
between crime and mental disorder. Specifically, this reference
covers: - Studies on the relationship of violence at Axis I
psychopathology and discusses the genesis of violent behavior among
psychotic patients- Findings from research data, clinical
experience, and analysis of the personality profiles of 300
murderers, which provide clues on the motivations of murderers and
prisoners- Research on the relationship between Axis II disorders
and the motivation for criminal behavior, typically a neglected
area of research- Importance of antisocial personality disorder and
other personality psychopathology in understanding some of
society's most horrific murderers- Genetic and biological studies
on the correlation of crime and aggression at the neurobiological
level- The implications of violence and psychopathology to the
criminal justice system and to the prevention of violent crimes
This annotated volume presents the cutting-edge research on
biological, psychological, and social factors influencing violence
in the mentally disordered. It is a resource psychiatric
professionals, as well as anyone working in the legal system, will
find useful.
