Abstract
Acute disturbed or violent behaviour has a number of organic, iatrogen ic and psychological precipitants and is commonly encountered. Various models have been used to define such behaviour and to suggest nonphar macological treatments. However, drugs are frequently used and a wide variety of regimens are employed. Robust research into the use of drug s in acute, disturbed behaviour is scant. Nevertheless a treatment pro tocol is presented based on primary research, review articles and clin ical experience.
