7th European Congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry
19–22 October 2011
Prague - Czech Republic
This Congress will focus strongly on clinically relevant and practically useful interventions aiming at treating and reducing violent behaviour of psychiatric and forensic patients. However this time we would also like to focus on severe problem behaviour in persons with intellectually disability. Hence the overall congress theme “challenges for care and treatment”.
The broad multidisciplinary scope of the European Congress on Violence in Clinical Psychiatry is expressed in the various subthemes that will be addressed in Prague in 2011:
Assessment and treatment of sexual violence
Biological determinants & factors of violence
Service user perspectives on violence
Gender aspects of violence
Impact and effect of coercive measures on patients
Impact and effect of violence on staff and caregivers
Ethical and legal perspectives on violence
Strategies for reducing coercive measures
Nature, epidemiology and cross-cultural aspects of violence
Pharmacological treatments for violent patients
Psychological treatments, therapies & trainings for violent patients
Risk & Strength Assessment: prediction of violence Specific populations: forensic
Specific populations: intellectually disabled
Specific populations: child & adolescent
Specific populations: elderly
Training and education of staff
