Abstract
The development of drugs, specifically aimed at reduction of pathological destructive behaviour in psychiatric patients, was started by our company halfway through the seventies. It was conceived, and this idea has been reinforced over the years, that pathologically destructive behaviour, sometimes called “aggressive”, “violent”, “agitated” or “dysfunctional”, presents a delicate problem in psychiatry. Such behaviour, which is often a secondary complication of an underlying organic disorder such as dementia, traumatic brain injury, or profound mental retardation, is very often severely troublesome to family care-givers and leads to their unwilling commitment of their loved ones to institutional care. After these patients are institutionalized, their behaviour often continues to pose serious management problems. In some cases various behavioural modification techniques may facilitate functional integration within the institutional community. However, these techniques are labour intensive and not invariably successful. In most institutions, a residue of patients exhibiting significant destructive behaviour remains. These individuals demand a disproportionate measure of staff time, may require isolation and even physical or chemical restraint to protect other patients, the staff or themselves from undue risk of injury.
