Ethical issues regarding mixed agency of military physicians.

Military physicians' obligations to the military may compete with or even override their obligations to patients, especially during combat. Doctor/patient trust may be impaired when the soldier/patient's interests conflict with those of the military and the physician's loyalty is uncertain, and when the military physician treats civilians in occupied territories during mass casualties or, in part, for political gain. When the military physician is asked to perform research which could potentially be utilized for offensive purposes, obligations to the medical profession or to humanity may take precedence over his obligations to the military.

Behavioral Research↗

Legal aspects of psychopharmacology.

Pharmacologic treatments useful in managing violent patients are reviewed. General principles of treatment and techniques for intervening in emergency situations are discussed first, followed by more specific recommendations for treating individuals with personality disorders, thought disorders, organic disorders, affective disorders and psychosexual disorders. The authors emphasize that medication alone almost never provides adequate treatment for such individuals and must be used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities such as family, group, and individual psychotherapies.
