..People with schizophrenia are more violent than the general population, but this increased risk is attributable to the actions of a small subgroup. Identifying those at risk has become an essential part of clinical practice...

..Further research is required to compare such models in large prospective epidemiologic studies of other psychiatric populations...

..Using a large representative sample of children and adolescents living in Great Britain, we set out to examine the effects of CU traits on a range of mental health outcomes measured 3 years after the initial assessment...

..Treatment costs at six-month follow-up were also significantly higher. Implications are discussed...

..We aimed to obtain the perspective of service users and staff on: (a) the experience of receiving treatment; and (b) the experience of delivering treatment, within new forensic services for PD offenders...

..The impact of comorbid personality disorder on the occurrence of violence in psychosis has not been fully explored...

..4 (antisocial) to 0.1 (narcissistic). In this population of patients, the SAP proved to be a poor screen for the SCID-II. The study highlights the discrepancy between informant and self-report assessments for personality disorder...

..However, to date they have not been used with individuals with BPD. This exploratory trial will examine whether use of a JCP is an effective and cost-effective intervention for people with BPD for reducing self-harm...

..60; 95% CI: 0.49-0.75; p(trend) = 0.001). Adjusting for potential confounding variables had virtually no impact. We conclude that low childhood IQ predicts hospitalization with PD and may be an important factor in the development of PD...

..Further work needs to be undertaken before the optimal organisation of dedicated personality disorder services can be agreed...

..There is a need for a brief and simple screen for personality disorders that can be used in routine psychiatric assessments...

..Limited data exist on the outcome of Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM), Dandy-Walker variant (DWV) and mega-cisterna magna (MCM). We report the first population-based study of posterior fossa anomalies from the northern region of England...
