Abstract
A study of aggressive and violent behaviour among psychiatric patients in four acute or sub-acute wards of a large mental hospital over a nine month period is described. It was found that most aggressive and violent behaviour was of a minor nature and was perpetrated by a minority of patients who repeatedly behaved in this fashion. The relevance of these findings for future research is discussed.
