Abstract
BackgroundPsychiatry is characterised by bio-psycho-social approaches and therapies. Thus there should be an interest in comprehensive theoretical models for didactic purposes.MethodsA narrative synthesis of key themes in the current literature on psychiatric aspects of violence was conducted with the aim of integrating biological, psychological and sociological ideas in this area.ResultsTwo didactical models are proposed for 1) individual disposition and for 2) acting in specific situations, each including available evidence-based knowledge.ConclusionsThe proposed models may be helpful for a comprehensive understanding of all relevant influencing factors in violent mentally ill people and for didactical purposes.
