Brenda Aloff

Dogwise Publishing, 2004

Very helpful exercises
This book is terrific for owners of any dog. We actually rescued an dog-aggressive dog and actually went to Brenda Aloff for a few sessions. Her advice and exercises helped turn a stressed out little monster into my little princess. My dog isn't magically cured, but by using this book, we've taught her to look to her humans for guidance in stressful situations, instead of just attacking as she ...

In this volume, the third in his trilogy on the philosophical and legal aspects of war and conflict, Larry May locates a normative grounding for the crime of aggression-the only one of the three crimes charged at Nuremberg that is not currently being prosecuted-that is similar to that for crimes against humanity and war crimes. He considers cases from the Nuremberg trials, philosophical debates in the Just War tradition, and more recent debates ...

Media Violence and its Effect on Aggression: Assessing the Scientific Evidence

3 reviews
Jonathan L. Freedman

University of Toronto Press, 2002

Time for someone to talk sense in the face of hysteria
Media violence research is badly flawed in many respects. First, every scientist and social scientist who I've ever heard of who studies media violence is opposed to it, so the whole research agenda is biased from square one. Find me a scientist or social scientist who studies it because he/she is indifferent about it or likes media violence. Second, there is a logic problem: I, like everyone ...

Arnold P. Goldstein, Barry Glick, ...

Research Press, 1998

A handbook for Teen Agression for anyone!
I picked up this book expecting it to be somewhat dry and dull. I was wrong. As the parent of a child with violent tendencies, I found things to help me. As a Social Work student planning on specializing in kids like mine, I found it a book I'll be glad to have for a long time. I have reccommended it to teachers and administrators, counsellors and other professionals as well. I'm seriously ...

Very informative and practical
I bought this book thinking it would give me insights into one specific area, but it has informed so many different aspects of my life.

Great reading!
This book is fascinating. It is fairly research oriented. Not beach reading. Really interesting look into the 'mean girl' phenomenon.

Neurobiology of Aggression and Rage
Allan Siegel

Informa Healthcare, 2004

While other books concentrate on the different facets of aggression, these publications tend to focus on a single aspect of the subject and do not make any attempt to integrate biology and behavior. This lack of integration in the literature has created a major gap in our current understanding of the factors that influence aggressive actions. The Neurobiology of Aggression and Rage is an up-to-date review and analysis of the biological ...

Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls

Rachel Simmons

Harvest Books, 2003

anyone being bullied needs to read this...regardless of age!
This is an amazing book that only someone who had been bullied herself could have written with such understanding. This book is a 'must read' for anyone being vicimimzed, whether at work or at school. It should be recommended reading for teachers too as it might make them more aware of 'bully' situations in their classes.

Girls and Aggression: Contributing Factors and Intervention Principles (Perspectives in Law & Psychology)

Springer, 2004

Although research on aggressive men and boys has been plentiful, much less attention has been directed toward aggression in girls and women. The increasing number of young women who find themselves living violent lives, both as perpetrators and victims, has led to urgent calls for more information on understanding what causes, what perpetuates and what can be done about this problem. Addressing this need, Girls and Aggression presents a range ...

Churchill Livingstone, 1999

An extremely practical book that offers methods of prevention and management strategies, and provides a comprehensive view of the problem of violence and aggression from patients/clients. This book, based on sound research, is cleverly structured so that the notion of violence becomes more explicit with each succeeding chapter, until finally the violent outburst arrives. This innovative book explores a topical, vital subject that appeals to a ...

Biology of Aggression

Oxford University Press, USA, 2005

Unchecked aggression and violence take a significant toll on society. Even if we manage to avoid being the direct victim of a violent act, the effects of aggression and violence reach us all: We hear about the mauling of a woman by an aggressive dog, our children are bullied at school, or we deal with impulsive violence while commuting to work or attending a sporting event. Reflecting psychology in general, the dominant roles of learning and ...

F S Perls

Vintage, 1969

Possibly the greatest psychological primer ever.
Brief and well written for the average reader. Leading in comprehension and clearity, Fritz builds a solid foundation with simple common concepts that allow the reader to connect from/to several areas of expertise. He identifies most stumbling blocks to "modern" thought and presents the humble truth of humanity and our ridiculous inheritance. But, all is not lost. Provided is a means to ...

Men, Women, And Aggression
Anne Campbell

Basic Books, 1994

Why are men more aggressive than women? To find out, psychologist and criminologist Anne Campbell listened to the voices of ordinary men and women, as well as people for whom aggression is a central fact of life—robbers and gang members. The answer, she argues, lies not only in biology or in child rearing but in how men and women form opinions about their own aggression. Women believe their aggression results from a loss of self-control, ...

Konrad Lorenz

Routledge, 2002

On Aggression
This is the best known book by the Nobel Prize winning researcher Konrad Lorenz. Although some of his ideas may have become superceded by the Richard Dawkin's school of Ethology/SocioBiology (Dawkins wrote the excellent "The Selfish Gene", "The Extended Phenotype", "The Blind Watchmaker", and "River Out Of Eden" among others), they both collaborated with the renowned Nobel Prize winner, ...
