Abstract

This paper reviews risk factors associated with assaultive behaviour. The author will look at specific risk factors to evaluate when assessing patients with an aggressive potential and he will examine patient-staff relationships that might trigger assaultive behaviour. The author believes that a better knowledge of risk factors allows us to develop preventive attitudes, and these will be discussed in the latter part of this paper.
