“…Silva et al (1997), em um estudo descritivo de um paciente com delírio cujo conteúdo era acreditar ser o "anti-Cristo" e com histórico de seqüestro e estupro de duas mulheres sob uso de PCP (fenilciclidina), verificaram elevado grau de convicção, complexidade do delírio e baixa resposta farmacológica (Silva et al, 1997). Esse dado é reforçado pelo estudo realizado por Appelbaum et al (1999), que estudaram pacientes delirantes com história de violência e constataram elevado grau de convicção nos delírios de grandeza e religioso (Appelbaum et al, 1999).…”

Palavras-chavesEsquizofrenia, psicose, psicopatologia, crime violento. resumo objetivo: Estudar, mediante uma revisão sistemática da literatura científica, a relação esquizofrenia, psicose e violência. métodos: Realizou-se uma busca eletrônica por meio das bases de dados Medline, SciELO e Lilacs, até a data de junho de 2006, considerando artigos de línguas inglesa e portuguesa. resultados: Um número de pesquisas revela associação entre esquizofrenia e comportamento violento, principalmente quando existe comorbidade com abuso de substâncias. Aspectos específicos dos delírios são relacionados com comportamento violento, como maior grau de convicção e presença de delírios de controle e perseguição. Conclusões: Apesar de limitações metodológicas, alguns aspectos da psicopatologia aguda da psicose e da comorbidade de abuso de substâncias parecem estar fortemente relacionados à presença de comportamento violento entre pacientes psicóticos. De acordo com os estudos analisados, somente uma pequena parcela da violência social poder ser atribuída a esse grupo de pacientes. Novas pesquisas deverão futuramente permitir prever antecipadamente o risco de um comportamento violento, permitindo com isso intervenções preventivas e redução do processo de estigmatização.

“…For the supplementary analyses, the sample was divided according to the presence or absence of God/Satan/demon‐themed psychotic content (Silva et al, ; Kunst, ), as nine (36%) of our sample had such symptoms compared with a figure established in a large nonoffender sample with psychosis of 6% (Atallah et al, ). We compared our God/Satan/demon (GSD) and non‐God/Satan/demon (NGSD; n = 16) groups on neurocognitive test performance, psychopathy scores, and clinical and criminological variables.…”

Our findings indicate that impaired cognition may play an important role in the commission of homicide by individuals with schizophrenia. A subgroup with God/Satan/demon delusions seem sufficiently less impaired that they might be able to engage in metacognitive treatment approaches, aimed at changing their relationship to their psychotic symptoms, thus reducing the perception of power and omnipotence of hallucinated voices and increasing their safety.

“…Comparatively poor outcome has also been reported in those with religious delusions [15,16] . Violence has been linked to those with religious delusions, in the studies of Kraya and Patrick [17] and of Silva et al [18] . A number of authors have linked religious delusional ideation with self-harm [19,20,21] .…”

Background: Religious delusions have been reported with varying prevalence from cultures around the world. Their contents, context and significance vary according to cultural and economic mores. In this review we discuss the potential relationship between religious delusions and aspects of culture, in particular religious symbols. We suggest that religious rituals and expectations of the family play a major role in the genesis and maintenance of delusions. We consider the roles of religious signifiers in the formation and maintenance of these important phenomena. Sampling and Methods: Evidence relating to the clinical significance of religious delusions is reviewed. The real clinical significance of religious delusions varies from violence to others to self-harm. The implications of these issues are discussed in relation to their management. Results and Conclusions: It is argued that there should be a reassessment of the importance of religious delusions in the light of new ethnographic and clinical evidence.
