Mentally abnormal offenders. Evaluation and management of violence.
Over the past two decades, much has been learned about the evaluation and management of violent patients. This has been translated into clinical guidelines for the evaluation and management of violent persons with psychiatric disorders. New research on neurotransmitters and the use of technology that can explore neurophysiologic and chemical activity in the brain promises continued advances in this area of psychiatry.
