Aggression and Other Disruptive Behavioral Challenges Biomedical and Psychosocial Assessment and Treatment

Author: William I Gardner, Ph.D.

Description:

Aggression and related difficulties of conduct represent frequent targets of biomedical and psychosocial interventions. This book describes a multimodal contextual case formulation model that translates these treatment approaches into a single integrative focus. The various modalities(biomedical, psychological, and social environmental) and context (instigating, central processing, and maintaining) conditions that influenced frequency, severity, variability and durability of agressive responding are examined to provide an integrative diagnostic basis for individual centered treatments.
