Transforensic psychiatry: Addressing inpatient aggression in the "gray zone" between general and forensic psychiatric care.

A minority of psychiatric patients are unfit for general psychiatric care due to offensive behavior that renders them at risk of coming into contact with the criminal justice system.

To accommodate these patients, we established a "transforensic" ward.
