|a Historically, a dichotomy has existed between public and scholarly opinion on whether or not any association exists between mental illness and violence. Public opinion has maintained such a relationship exists. Social scientists and consumer advocates have questioned or denied any connection, believing the best indicator of future violence or criminal violent activity is a person’s previous history of violence or criminal violent activity. Recent epidemiologic (prevalence), clinical (judgement) and actuarial (statistical) surveys, employing more advanced methodology than earlier research, suggest evidence linking mental disorder and violence. Key research questions under examination have been: Is there a relationship between mental disorder and violence? Is mental disorder an empirically verifiable risk factor for the occurrence of violence? Is there a way to differentiate between people with mental disorders who will be violent from those who will not be violent? Related examination of these concerns is ongoing in the areas of mental health law and policy, and in moral, ethical and political arenas. Concomitant understanding and integration of the most current research on the prediction of interpersonal violence and its practice implications are essential for social workers engaged with violent or potentially violent clientele, potential or actual victims, family members of potentially or actually violent persons, and other professionals. With the direct and indirect practice needs of social workers in focus, this paper reviews the literature, theory, and research on interpersonal violence among the mentally ill population. |
