摘要：Personality and violent behavior
This paper presents a literature review regarding the personality and violent
behavior. We discuss some important biological aspect related to this matter like the causal
relation between low serotonin concentration in the CNS and genetic influences on aggressive
behavior. Seeing the individual as a biopsychosocial being, we have also raised some
psychosocial questions that support a comprehensive approach to violent conduct. We
concluded that studies in this area are very scarce and much research is still needed in order
to make the clinicians able to intervene consistently in the treatment and prevention of
violent behavior.
