This collection reviews research on genetic variation in alcohol-metabolizing enzymes and alcohol-related outcomes across several populations. The studies report differing associations involving ADH and ALDH variants, including possible protective effects in particular samples, while emphasizing that these findings do not by themselves explain population-level differences in alcohol problems.
This clinical overview describes alcohol-related psychosis, which may arise during or soon after heavy drinking or during withdrawal and can involve hallucinations, paranoia, or fear. It reviews diagnostic considerations, possible causes, evaluation, and management, and emphasizes distinguishing alcohol-induced symptoms from schizophrenia, delirium, and other medical causes.
This collection reviews research linking alcohol with aggression, including physical and verbal aggression, intimate partner violence, and sexual aggression. The included review describes proposed roles for reduced behavioral inhibition and individual or situational factors, while noting that the evidence concerns a complex relationship rather than a single explanation for any particular act.
This page collects abstracts and citations on BDSM, consent, and distinctions between consensual practices and abuse. The referenced works discuss relationship dynamics, media depictions, consent frameworks, and clinical or educational approaches.
This article reviews proposed connections between ADHD, executive-function and impulse-control difficulties, anger, and violence, followed by summaries of research on ADHD and intimate-partner or other violent behavior. It also discusses risk-taking and intense-stimulation accounts and provides citations and study abstracts.
This resource compiles abstracts and summaries of research on adult ADHD and neuropsychological functioning. The included topics span attention, memory, executive functions, differences across adult ADHD groups, diagnostic approaches, and mindfulness-based interventions, with studies using varied methods and samples.

The HCR-20 Version 3 is a structured professional judgment guide for evaluating violence risk when a legal or clinical question calls for it. Its 20 factors cover historical, current clinical, and future risk-management information, with ratings for presence and relevance; it provides no summed score or cutoff and instead structures a professional risk formulation.
The article considers reported memory loss for violent acts committed during intense anger, a phenomenon it calls a ‘red-out.’ The authors discuss possible explanations, including state-dependent memory, and address malingering, intoxication, organic factors, personality, legal issues, and limitations in establishing another person’s memory.
The studies examine reported links between PTSD and aggressive or violent behavior, including cases in which flashbacks involved misidentifying another person as a threatening figure. Other research compares aggression among combat veterans with and without PTSD, illustrating that findings arise from particular samples and study designs.
