Mental disorders are one of the four major health problems in developed, modern and industrialized countries. Although the mental disorder is not considered a disorder that causes death directly, but the severity of the disorder makes the sense of incompetence and individual and group identity will hinder development because they are unproductive and inefficient. Violent behavior is a response to stressors faced by a person. This response can be detrimental to both oneself, others and the environment. Seeing the impact of the losses caused, the handling of clients with violent behavior needs to be done quickly and precisely by professional nursing personnel. Meanwhile, violent behavior can occur in two forms, namely during violent behavior or having a history of violent behavior. If we look at the definition, violent behavior is a form of behavior that aims to hurt someone physically or psychologically (Utomo et al, 2009). Facing the problems mentioned above, a technique is needed in an effort to help reduce violent behavior in schizophrenic patients. Among them is the Benson relaxation technique, Benson relaxation is the development of a respiratory relaxation response method by involving the patient's belief factor, which can create an internal environment so that it can help patients achieve higher health and welfare conditions. This scientific work aims to analyze Benson's relaxation technique therapy which is continuously prescribed in patients with violent behavior. The results of the analysis show that the results obtained by giving Benson relaxation therapy interventions can be used to help clients with violent behavior in controlling and reducing angry emotions.
