The authors briefly discuss past and present reasons for the psychiatric security unit system in Norway. They describe the patients in these units at the beginning of 1993 (N = 123). Of these patients, 16% were females, 78% had a main diagnosis of schizophrenia, and 12% were admitted because of personality disorders. Physical restraints had been used for 25%, pharmacological restraints for 17%, and forced pharmacological treatment had been necessary for 26% of the patients during the last six months. There were high rates of behaviour problems related to criminality, abuse, violence and auto-aggression. Nearly all the patients were committed involuntarily, and additional legal restrictions were imposed for one third of them. The majority (63%) of the patients had been in security units for more than one year. The highest levels of security within the security unit system were used for those with the most serious criminality or behaviour problems prior to admission.
作者简要讨论了挪威精神病安全病房系统过去和现在存在的原因。他们描述了1993年初这些病房中的患者情况（N = 123）。在这些患者中，16%为女性，78%的主要诊断为精神分裂症，12%因人格障碍入院。在过去六个月中，25%的患者使用过身体约束，17%使用过药物约束，26%的患者需要强制药物治疗。与犯罪、虐待、暴力和自我攻击相关的行为问题发生率很高。几乎所有患者都是非自愿入院的，其中三分之一还受到了额外的法律限制。大多数患者（63%）在安全病房已超过一年。安全病房系统中最高级别的安全措施用于入院前有最严重犯罪行为或行为问题的患者。
