内容説明
Every day in courts across the country, judges look to psychiatrists and psychologists to try to determine the potential dangerousness of mentally disordered persons. But recent studies have shown that the ability to predict violence is severely limited - and experts tend to be wrong more often than they are right. This comprehensive review of research from 1970 to 1993 offers new empirical and theoretical work on mental disorder that may pave the way for more accurate predictions of violent behaviour. The contributors consider why there has been little progress in the field, citing the narrowness of previous research and the lack of a theory of mental disorder. They assess the predictor variables in four domains: an individual's dispositional tendencies, clinical and psychopathological factors, case histories, and contextual issues. And they show how to develop better instruments for evaluating the risk of violent behaviour.

内容説明
In courts across the country, judges depend on mental health experts to determine whether mentally disordered people are dangerous. But experts' ability to predict violence is severely limited, and they are wrong as often as they are right. This study reviews two decades of research on mental disorder and offers new empirical and theoretical work that will pave the way for more accurate predictions of violent behavior.
"Essential for all those who are interested in the study of risk assessment of violence. It is particularly important for the researcher in this area. . . . For the clinician who must make violence assessments it is important reading as well."-Stewart Levine, Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law
