Abstract
This article aims to compile and present knowledge concerning the care of individuals with psychiatric disorders and substance use who are at high risk of engaging in violent behavior. The focus is placed on applying psychological theories and care approaches within the specific context of Phuket Province. The content synthesizes both academic knowledge and practical field experiences and is organized into two main areas: (1) presenting essential knowledge related to individuals with psychiatric disorders and substance use who are at high risk of engaging in violent behavior, and (2) providing practical recommendations for managing and caring for this target group in the Phuket context. Findings from the review indicate that effective implementation requires the integration of multidisciplinary teams and active engagement of local stakeholders and community networks. Particularly, raising awareness, fostering understanding, and strengthening community capacity are critical components in surveillance systems, crisis response, and the delivery of mental health services. Additionally, the establishment of clear communication and coordination channels among involved agencies plays a vital role in enhancing the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of care systems for this high-risk population.
