Episodic Dyscontrol: A Study of 130 Violent Patients
Abstract
The authors report a two-year study of 130 patients with a chief complaint of explosive violent behavior. When pertinent and possible, neurological and psychological tests, EEGs, pneumoencephalograms, and other tests were made. The authors noted that the patients' lives mirrored their backgrounds: family histories revealed a high incidence of violence and alcoholism. The patients reported that they had frequently sought help in the past for control of violent impulses, but usually in vain. The authors believe that severe psychopathology should not exclude neurological examination and management, nor should positive neurological findings exclude psychiatric management. A plea is made to view these patients as having a multidetermined problem.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
