[Aggression by psychiatric patients in the clinic. A one-year study of four state hospitals].

This study of aggressive behaviour of patients towards staff was conducted simultaneously for one year at four psychiatric hospitals. Until now there has been very little empirical research carried out in German speaking countries of aggression in psychiatric hospitals; the reasons for that are discussed. The results of the study are compared with findings from the prevalently american literature. Since conflicts between patients and staff precede aggressive incidents in the majority of cases, it is concluded as a practical consequence to train especially the younger staff members, who are primarily concerned, in managing such conflicts. Special importance is attached to knowledge of prior aggressive behaviour and its attending conditions.

[Aggressive conflicts in physician-patient relations in the course of inpatient treatment--considerations based on case examples].

Physical attacks of patients against the treating therapist during hospitalisation are severe complications in the treatment process, creating a variety of problems for all those involved. Partly due to taboo, literature almost does not deal with physical attacks, although they are likely to be a rather common phenomenon. Contrary to this tendency, it seems fair to say that as a treatment problem these situations deserve special attention. Causes of aggressive escalation will be examined by means of two case studies. The question as to how to prevent physical attacks as well as ways to deal with them will be reconsidered.
