Running Head: VOLATILE PARENTS AND FORENSIC PATIENTS' ANGER Anger and Assaultiveness of Male Forensic Patients with Developmental Disabilities: Links to Volatile Parents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study with 107 male forensic patients with developmental disabilities investigated whether exposure to parental anger and aggression was related to anger and assaultiveness in hospital, controlling for background variables. Patient anger and aggression was assessed by self-report, staff-ratings, and archival records. Exposure to parental anger/aggression, assessed by clinical interview, was significantly related to patient self-reported anger, staff-rated anger and aggression, and physical assaults in hospital, controlling for age, IQ, length of hospital stay, violent offense history, and childhood physical abuse. Results are consonant with previous findings concerning detrimental effects of witnessing parental violence and with theory on acquisition of cognitive scripts for aggression. Implications for clinical assessment and cognitive restructuring in anger treatment are discussed.
