Of 2,916 patients evaluated by psychiatric residents in the outpatient clinics of two large private psychiatric hospitals, 3% had manifested recent assaultive behavior toward other persons. In over half the cases the target of assault was a family member other than a child. Patients more likely to be assaultive were young and male and had a diagnosis of childhood or adolescent disorder or personality disorder. The authors compare these results with those from studies of assault among inpatients and recommend that physicians in outpatient as well as inpatient settings be familiar with the management of assaultive patients.
在两家大型私立精神病医院的门诊接受精神科住院医师评估的2916名患者中，3%的人近期对他人表现出攻击性行为。在超过半数的案例中，攻击目标是儿童以外的家庭成员。更有可能具有攻击性的患者为年轻男性，且被诊断患有儿童期或青少年期疾病或人格障碍。作者将这些结果与住院患者攻击行为的研究结果进行了比较，并建议门诊和住院环境中的医生都要熟悉对有攻击行为患者的管理。
