 .\n\n\nPsychosocial function\, legal involvement and violence in mental di
 sorder\n\n\nSince the 1970s\, researchers on both sides of the Atlantic ha
 ve used populations surveys to describe the relationships between mental d
 isorders\, on the one hand\, and violence or trouble with the law\, on the
  other. While the findings have been relatively consistent\, the data have
  not led to significant progress in understanding the mechanisms by which 
 violence and legal trouble occur in mental disorder. The lecture will desc
 ribe recent research investigating what role impaired psychosocial functio
 n plays in these mechanisms\, and whether that role varies according to th
 e type of mental disorder from which someone suffers.
