[The aggressive patient in a psychiatric environment : conter-transference and management problems.].
The author draws from his extensive psychiatric experience with violent patients to expose the dynamics of their violent acts, and the effects of these acts on patients and care personnel. Taking analysis as a reference point, he describes patients' defence mechanisms (denial, identification with the aggressor, things leading to the act, cleavage) and the therapists' negative countertransference reactions (delay in intervention, prescription, fear, anger, and powerlessness) and their negative cognitive responses.
