Resumen

Se comparó a 33 pacientes esquizofrénicos hospitalizados de 45,3 ± 13,5 años de edad que fueron encontrados no culpables de homicidio en virtud de enajenación mental con 28 pacientes esquizofrénicos emparejados en cuanto a la edad, el sexo y la duración de la enfermedad, que no habían cometido ningún delito. El análisis estadístico reveló en el grupo estudiado una tasa alta de factores individuales asociados con la agresión, tales como el abuso de alcohol, el contacto previo con la policía, la conducta agresiva y amenazas (P < 0,05). Un número significativamente mayor de ellos eran también inmigrantes (P < 0,05). No hubo diferencias entre grupos en los factores familiares. Estos resultados apoyan estudios anteriores que indicaban que los pacientes esquizofrénicos con perfil de alcoholismo, agresividad y otro país de origen corren un riesgo alto de conducta homicida.
