Aggressive urges in schizotypy: Preliminary data from an ambulatory study

In a recent issue of Schizophrenia Research, Rund (in press) delineates the inconsistent findings among common factors (e.g., substance use, poor insight, impulsivity) typically associated with aggressive behaviors such as violence in schizophrenia. With increasing emphasis on implementing preventative public policy coupled with public perceptions linking violence to the schizophrenia-spectrum (Gwarjanski and Parrott, 2017), it is important to understand links between aggression and schizotypy, the personality traits reflecting an underlying vulnerability for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders.
