AnnotationThree case reports were used to illustrate the treatment of multifactorial vocally disruptive behaviour (VDB). A biopsychosocial assessment is required to identify the different aetiologies involved, and the way they interact. In the cases reported, VDB appeared to be associated with either: frontal lobe disorder; poor language skills; or social isolation associated with depression. Successful interventions require the combination of biopsychosocial strategies tailored to the individual case, with realistic goals that include the acceptance of a residual level of VDB as reasonable outcome.
