Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss violence in a modem purpose‐built psychiatric unit, with a view to a better understanding of the associated problems of patient care and their management.The unit was built in 1965 and since then certain changes In its design have been necessary. Some modification of philosophy of care has also been introduced and these changes have benefited the majority of patients, but a plea is made for a ‘small area that is lockable’.The paper makes a valuable contribution to the current discussions into violence in psychiatric hospitals.
