Violence, aggression, and patient assaults result in a considerable number of job-related accidents in psychiatry. We describe a patient-oriented training program for managing aggression and violence in psychiatry. Ratings by 335 training participants indicate high to very high acceptance. In addition, ratings in the questionnaire for the study subjects' beliefs about competence and control suggest a statistically significant increase in active behavior and internal locus of control in 31 subjects. No significant changes were observed in the waiting-list control group. Our results suggest that a patient-oriented training program for the management of aggression and violence in psychiatry can have high acceptance and lead to lasting changes in beliefs about competence and control, resulting in an increased internal locus of control.
