The transfer of the patient, with mental trouble and violent behaviour, towards the therapist

We described eleven typical clinical cases of patients’ translational typology with mental disorder and violent be- haviour towards the therapist. The clinical cases described exhibit neurotic and psychotic translation linked to translation linked to mental disorder and translation linked to the aetiology and to the dynamics of violent behaviour. The objective of this clinical study is to enrich the psychiatric diagnosis and therapeutic pathways of patients with mental disorder and violent behaviour and to avoid iatrogenic error by using the concept of translation in its widest understanding.
