Abstract
Following a road-traffic accident, an 18-year-old man developed episodic dyscontrol which brought him into conflict with the law. Two years after the accident, treatment with carbamazepine was initiated and further aggressive outbursts subsided. The efficacy and mode of action of carbamazepine is discussed and the literature reviewed.
