6 5 Introduction I would like, in my capacity as Chairman of the European Violence in Psychiatry Research Group (EViPRG), to welcome you to this 5th. European Congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry. EViPRG is pleased to support this major international event and we anticipate that three interesting and inspiring days lie ahead. Violence in mental health services and the measures used by staff to prevent and therapeutically manage it have now moved up the national agenda in many countries around the world. We are all aware that some mental health problems are associated with an increased risk of violence and that violence by some service users has a serious negative effect on other service users, on care staff and on the general public perception of people with mental health problems. It also significantly restricts the liberty and life chances of the perpetrator. Furthermore, we know that practitioners working in mental health services around the world are committed to trying to deal safely and effectively with violence directed against themselves and others. Now we are learning much more as well about how to move away from reliance on highly coercive measures such as restraint and seclusion toward more collaborative and preventive measures. This is based on a better dialogue between practitioners and service users, an important development which will be reflected in some of the presentations here. Violence is an intractable and hugely complex problem with roots in the brain, the mind and the way society operates. We will learn here from the work of researchers studying at all three of these levels and from practitioners working in all the disciplines that make up a comprehensive high-quality mental health service. It is paradoxical that whilst the expression of violence and ideas on its therapeutic management vary widely across cultures, we all share a common goal of reducing violence and coercion in mental health services and will gain much from hearing about cutting edge developments from around the world. Once again, welcome to this event and I hope that you will return to your service recharged with new ideas for moving toward this common goal. Richard Whittington

7 6 Preface Proceedings of the 5th European Congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry Best Evidence Based Practice: Prevention, Treatment and Management of Violence at the Individual, Institutional and Governmental Level October This book contains the expertise and information provided by the contributors to the 5th European congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry. The volume of the book clearly suggests a marked increase in scientific interests and research initiatives in the last few years on how to prevent and manage violent behaviour within mental health settings. The large number of participants and contributions to the European congresses on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry, however, also seem to reflect the severity of the problem violence poses for people working in mental health; it is one of the major occupational health hazards they face. Repeatedly hostile and violent behaviour in patients will be often a major impediment to successful rehabilitation and treatment. The expanding number of participants and scientific contributions to these biannual congresses on violence in clinical psychiatry further suggests that psychiatric practitioners and researchers put great value in being able to share expertise on how to manage aggression across disciplines and borders. We feel that the strong traditional focus of these European violence congresses on practical, clinically relevant interventions is very visible in these proceedings and we are very grateful to all who made the 5th European congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry into a sound collection of evidence-based best practices. We hope these proceedings will be helpful in improving the care and quality of life of patients who exhibit aggression whilst using mental health services.
