Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine current experiences of violence and its relationship with psychological burden in a psychotherapeutic outpatient sample.

METHODS: 1074 patients of a psychotherapeutic outpatient-clinic of a university hospital completed a written violence screening questionnaire.

RESULTS: Current experienced physical and psychological violence was two times higher compared to general population. Patients who experienced current violence reported significantly more psychological burden.

CONCLUSION: Use of violence screening in daily routine of a psychotherapeutic outpatient-clinic seems to be a promising approach to detect violence experiences.
