BACKGROUND Previous research has predominately focused on patients with mental illness as the instigators, rather than the victims, of violence and criminal activity. However, patients with schizophrenia appear to experience a higher degree of victimization compared to general community samples. We aimed to establish the 1-month prevalence of violent and non-violent victimization in a sample of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and to investigate the determinants of victimization. METHOD Reports of violent and non-violent victimization were recorded in 348 patients in Dandenong, an outer metropolitan suburb of Melbourne, Australia along with the subjective perception of patients as to their degree of protection from being robbed or attacked. Patients reporting victimization were compared with those who did not, across a range of clinical and psychosocial variables. RESULTS 11.2% of the sample reported being the victim of non-violent crime and 4.3% the victim of violent crime in the 1-month period. 23.2% reported dissatisfaction with their protection against being attacked or robbed. The major determinant of victimization was the lack of any meaningful daily activity. CONCLUSIONS Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are at increased risk of victimization, both of the violent and non-violent type. Further research is required to understand the pathways through which victimization occurs and to understand whether psychosocial interventions can reduce victimization in this patient population.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to investigate the single dose pharmacokinetics of lithium in Taiwanese/Chinese bipolar patients for future interracial comparisons. METHOD Eight bipolar patients took 900 mg of lithium carbonate after overnight fasting. Blood samples of 5 mL were taken after 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1 h, 2 h, 3 h, 4 h, 7 h, 9 h, 15 h, 25 h and 31 h after dosing. The computer programs CSTRIP and PCNONLIN were used for pharmacokinetic analysis. RESULTS The pharmacokinetic parameters obtained were as follows: Cmax, 0.970 +/- 0.170 (SD) mmol/L; Tmax, 1.59 +/- 0.78 h; AUC31 h = 548.9 +/- 135.4 mmol x m/L; AUC to infinity = 722.6 +/- 262.7 mmol x m/L; beta-half-life = 16.3 +/- 7.18 h; kappa-half-life = 0.613 +/- 0.442 h; Cl(oral) = 1.13 +/- 0.39 mL/min/kg; Vd/F = 1.43 +/- 0.387 L/kg. Most of the pharmacokinetic parameters were within the ranges reported in investigations of Caucasian subjects. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that racial differences in lithium pharmacokinetics might not exist. We suggest that methodological designs, including method of blood sampling, measurement of lithium, and pharmacokinetic and statistical calculations, be standardised if future cross-ethnic comparisons are to be conducted.

According to DSM-III criteria, pathological gambling is now recognised as a mental illness. Epidemiological data suggest that the incidence of this disorder in the general population varies from 0.5% to 1%. However, until recently, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists have tended to neglect the problem because of a lack of understanding of its aetiology and management. This paper describes pathological gambling and presents an overview of current psychiatric treatments. It concludes that behavioural interventions are the most effective treatments for compulsive gamblers.
