ABSTRACT
The clinical and academic literature exploring aggression and approaches to its therapy and management focuses on what is termed ‘habitual aggression’ (Huesmann 1998; Martens 2000). Habitual aggression describes individuals whose aggression has occurred more than once, suggesting a development or continuation of an aggressive behaviour pattern. Habitual aggression is a useful concept with which to commence this chapter, since the populations who come into contact with professional services for aggression management needs will generally fall into this group of aggressors. It is this group of individuals which the current chapter will most concern itself with.
