Dual harm: Violent behaviour to others and self-harm behaviour in adults compulsorily admitted to a Dutch psychiatric hospital
CONCLUSION: Distinct harm groups were identified in a sample of involuntarily admitted patients. In a general adult psychiatric setting, patients at risk for violent behaviour, especially dual-harm patients, should be identified and monitored as part of the risk assessment. Future research is needed to explore more clinical correlates in the proposed distinction between harmful groups and to assess long-term prognosis.PMID:38663172 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijlp.2024.101989 (Source: International Journal of Law and Psychiatry)

However, these interventions are noted to be underutilized as alternative to incarceration (ATI) p...
