Behavioral Approaches to the Treatment of Aggressive Disorders

University of Washington

Mark H. Thelen

University of Missouri-Columbia

Behavioral approaches to the treatment of aggression and hostility in children, adolescents, and adults are reviewed. The major theoretical approaches and definitions are presented, and a number -of classification variables that may facilitate the research in the area are recommended. It is suggested that the three major theoretical approaches emphasize reinforcement processes, social learning, or cognitive-emotional factors, and that each theory has different implications for assessment and treatment. Studies relevant to each paradigm are reviewed. The need for theory-based assessment and treatment strategies as a guide in future research is emphasized.
