Abstract
The threatening paranoid patient is one of the most frightening and difficult patients to treat. The author points out the need for all levels of hospital staff to become more adept at recognizing their own feelings, which often keep them from appropriately managing these patients. He summarizes several crucial points in teaching staff to cope successfully, dividing the process into diagnosis, management of one's emotions, and practice of appropriate therapeutic techniques.Keywords
