The United States has the unfortunate distinction of ranking first in homicide among high-income nations. According to the CDC, homicide is the second leading cause of death (tied with suicide) between the ages of 1-24 and the third to fifth leading cause of death between the ages of 25-44. This online CE course for mental health professionals reviews screening measures helpful when evaluating patients with violent ideation. The course will address how to differentiate between benign violent fantasy and potentially dangerous obsessions and delusions. Advice for identifying patients at risk for intimate partner homicide and spree homicide are provided. Moreover, as guns are the weapon of choice for homicide, the course will illustrate how mental health providers can play an important role by discussing firearm safety with patients and by advocating for removal of guns from the home of at-risk patients.
