Aggression, Gewalt, Amok, Stalking

  • Chapter

Zusammenfassung

Die beeindruckenden Dimensionen von Ursachen und Folgen individueller und kollektiver Aggression und Gewaltanwendung sind allseits ersichtlich. Umso erstaunlicher ist, dass dieses Thema in den psychiatrischen Lehr- und Fachbüchern bislang kaum Beachtung fand, obwohl es naheliegt anzunehmen, dass abnorme Funktionsweisen des Gehirns in erheblichem Maße zu gewalttätigem Verhalten beitragen. Im nachstehenden Kapitel wird ein Überblick über die neurobiologischen Grundlagen aggressiven Verhaltens einschließlich Genetik, über Epidemiologie, Neuropathologie, Pathophysiologie und Psycho pathologie von Aggression und Gewalt gegeben. Es folgt eine Darstellung von Gewaltneigung infolge psychischer Störungen, der Ergebnisse von Hirnstruktur- und -funktionsbildgebung und schließlich der pharmakotherapeutischen Optionen zur Behandlung krankhaft aggressiven Verhaltens. Es erscheint notwendig, dass das Themenfeld von Aggression und Gewalt stärker in die psychiatrische Lehre und Forschung integriert wird als bisher.
