Neurological impairment in violent schizophrenic inpatients
MI Krakowski, A Convit, J Jaeger, S Lin and J Volavka
Manhattan Psychiatric Center, New York.
This study relates violent behavior of schizophrenic inpatients to
demographic, historical, EEG, neurological, and neuropsychological
variables. Patients were classified into high (N = 28), low (N = 27), or no
(N = 34) violence groups. There were no significant differences among the
groups on demographic or historical variables, except for prevalence of
violent crime, which was higher in both violent groups than in nonviolent
patients. Neurological and neuropsychological abnormalities differentiated
the groups, with the high violence group evidencing more abnormalities than
the other two groups in the area of integrative sensory and motor
functions. The authors suggest that violence as well as neurological and
neuropsychological deficits may characterize a more severe form of
schizophrenia.
