Bivariate analyses showed that the incidence of violence was higher for people with severe mental illness, but only significantly so for those with co-occurring substance abuse and/or dependence. Multivariate analyses revealed that severe mental illness alone did not predict future violence; it was associated instead with historical (past violence, juvenile detention, physical abuse, parental arrest record), clinical (substance abuse, perceived threats), dispositional (age, sex, income), and contextual (recent divorce, unemployment, victimization) factors. Most of these factors were endorsed more often by subjects with severe mental illness.

Wer glaubt, das ZPS sei eine Gruppe links-alternativer Politkünstler, die wie viele andere
für mehr Bürgerrechte oder gegen das TTIP-Abkommen protestieren, liegt jedenfalls falsch. Ruch
und seine Mitstreiter sehen sich vielmehr als "Sturmtruppe", mit dem einzigen Ziel, den aus
ihrer Sicht erniedrigten Menschen endlich wieder in das Zentrum der Welt zurückzubringen. Dazu
muss allerdings die gesamte Moderne rückabgewickelt werden, denn in ihr wurde der Mensch, so
Ruch, "systematisch disqualifiziert" und entzaubert. "Das Wunder, das wir sind", wird zunichte
gemacht, wenn man "durch die Brille der Naturwissenschaften die Zufälligkeit und
Bedeutungslosigkeit des Menschen zu erkennen" meint.

The first time I can recall ever having mentioned Peter Doshi <a href="https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/crank-conferences-a-parody-of-science-based-medicine-that-can-suck-in-even-reputable-scientists-and-institutions/">was in 2009</a>, when he spoke at an antivaccine conference hosted by Barbara Loe Fisher’s National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and, when contacted about it, responded with a transparent, “my speaking there does not imply endorsement”.
