- Title
Reducing aggression in adults with brain injuries.
- Authors
O'Leary, Colleen A.
- Abstract
Five adult males with brain injuries participated in a 10-week curriculum at a post-acute brain injury rehabilitation center to determine whether training could reduce their levels of verbal and physical aggression. During training, participants completed anger-management sessions and coping skills groups weekly. In addition, they tracked their performance through written ‘hassle logs’ each time they experienced conflict or feelings of anger. Facility data collection on number of verbal and physical aggressions revealed clients reduced their number of aggressive outbursts and successfully generalized performance for 10 weeks after the training period.
