Older adults represent the fastest growing segment of the US and industrialized populations. However, older adults have generally not been included in randomized clinical trials of psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This review examined reports of psychological treatment for trauma-related problems, primarily PTSD, in studies with samples of at least 50% adults aged 55 and older using standardized measures.

The majority of young children lose their temper or become frustrated when they don’t get what they want. Also, children can have an angry or irritable mood, or hit other children.

Developmental studies have shown that aggressive behavior in children peaks between 2 and 3 years of age and that boys show this behavior more frequently than girls (Alink et al., 2006).
