This article aims to move away from intuitive appeals that link mental disorder with violence such as terrorism, mass murder, and other targeted violence. The article synthesizes the existing evidence base regarding the relationship between mental disorders and personality traits and (a) attitudinal affinities with violent causes, and (b) a number of violent behaviors (including mass murder and terrorism). The evidence base is mixed and the research focus changed across time: from simple and unempirical assertions of causation to an almost complete rejection of their presence to a finer grained and disaggregated understanding. Empirical research examining mental disorder in crime and violence highlights that the commission of such events is a complex synthesis of psychopathology, personal circumstance, and environment. The article concludes with several suggestions regarding future research and practice.
本文旨在摒弃将精神障碍与暴力行为（如恐怖主义、大规模谋杀和其他有针对性的暴力行为）联系起来的直观观点。本文综合了现有关于精神障碍与人格特质之间关系的证据基础，以及（a）与暴力原因的态度亲和力，以及（b）一些暴力行为（包括大规模谋杀和恐怖主义）。证据基础参差不齐，研究重点随时间变化而变化：从简单和非经验性的因果断言到几乎完全否定其存在，再到更细致和细分的理解。研究犯罪和暴力中的精神障碍的实证研究强调，此类事件的发生是精神病理学、个人情况和环境的复杂综合。文章最后提出了一些关于未来研究和实践的建议。
