“…In order to assess whether the inclusion criteria b) were met, both the patients and relatives were interviewed to ascertain whether there had been at least one episode during the previous year that could be rated 2 on the MOAS [17] physical aggression subscale (a score of 2 on this subscale means “strikes, kicks, hair pulls, pushes, attempted scratches, without causing injury,” a score of 3 means “attacks causing mild injury” and a score of 4 means “attacks causing serious injury”). A low baseline rate of severe violence decreases statistical accuracy [34]. We established these inclusion criteria in order to increase the prevalence of violence in our sample, since previous violence has been shown to be the best predictor of future violent behaviour in this patient population [35].…”

“…As underlined elsewhere [17,83], this pattern suggests that risks for violence peak before, during, and shortly after hospitalization, when psychotic symptoms are more severe. Within the first several weeks, given good treatment compliance and response, violence risks would subside (see also [36,84,85]). Accordingly, the role of medication was non-negligible in the MacArthur Study, as 25% of violent outpatients were not compliant at the time of assault [6].…”

“…3 Some disturbances can be so severe that the terrified patient can act in such a way as to harm others or her-or himself. [4][5][6][7][8] The long-term effects of the disorder result in impaired adaptive functioning, occupational and academic maladjustment, and declining self-efficacy. [9][10][11] Hence, efforts have been directed at developing antipsychotics with improved efficacy, for both positive and negative symptoms, that would facilitate improved functioning and mitigate long-term consequences.…”
