Aggression

Aggression

Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...

Conduct Disorder

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.

Adler's Individual Psychology

Adler's Individual Psychology

Alfred Adler, a prominent figure in psychology, founded the school of individual psychology. In contrast to Freud's emphasis on sexual or aggressive motives, Adler suggested that individuals are primarily motivated by their purposes and goals. He believed that people strive for perfection rather than pleasure. Adler argued that individuals could creatively act upon their genetic inheritance and environmental experiences to shape their own lives, emphasizing conscious motivation over unconscious...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Background:

Aggression in youth is a significant concern, yet its classification remains unclear.
Previous research identified a profile of aggression impulsive/reactive (AIR) with hyperactivity/impulsivity in youth.
The current study aimed to validate this AIR profile in a clinical population.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine if the aggression impulsive/reactive (AIR) profile is present in a clinical sample of children and adolescents.
To utilize novel dimensional measures and latent profile analysis to evaluate the AIR profile.
To compare findings with previous research on youth aggression.

Main Methods:

Reviewed medical records of 430 patients aged 4-17 with behavioral concerns.
Caregivers completed dimensional measures of aggression, mania, depression, and hyperactivity/impulsivity.
Latent profile analysis was used to identify symptom clusters.

Main Results:

Four distinct profiles were identified, including a predominant AIR profile with hyperactivity-impulsivity.
Children with high AIR and hyperactivity-impulsivity were younger, male, and had earlier onset of aggression.
This subgroup was less likely to have a history of abuse.

Conclusions:

The aggression impulsive/reactive (AIR) profile is validated in a new cohort of clinically referred youth.
Findings support the existence of a distinct AIR profile in pediatric mental health settings.
Further research is needed to develop diagnostic criteria for children with AIR.
