Well, maybe in some cases the violence is a manifestation of the internal struggle for control?

I realize that there are those that are beyond help at this point, but I wonder whether they are at the end of a losing battle with themselves. now, if voices in their head start telling them to kill ronald reagan, (shut up, radar) then , yeah...ok. I was just thinking that maybe the whole psychoanalysis thing might be just slightly off track from the beginning which can snowball, leaving them well wide of the mark by the time they reach the end of our ability to help......which in fact was not help, but harm in the end.

I know i'm a total layman, and there is no way to prove my hypothesis, but i was hoping that some of you nut wranglers might have seen evidence of this kind of pheno. at work.
