A young, black, adult woman presented to an outpatient clinic for treatment with a history of intermittent, nonschizophrenic, psychotic symptoms. Blacks, because of their situational sociology, may be more predisposed to severe head injuries, and this acquired biologic factor may be, in part, responsible for the high rates of black-on-black murder. The use of beta blockers is discussed as an adjunct in the treatment of violence occurring in patients with a past history of severe head injury.
一名年轻的成年黑人女性因间歇性、非精神分裂症性的精神病症状病史前往门诊接受治疗。由于其社会环境因素，黑人可能更容易遭受严重的头部损伤，而这种后天的生物学因素可能在一定程度上导致了黑人之间高谋杀率。文中讨论了使用β受体阻滞剂作为辅助治疗手段，用于治疗有严重头部损伤既往史患者发生的暴力行为。
