A clinical investigation of impairment in the development of healthy aggression with reference to the work of Henri Parens

This thesis investigates how impairments and arrests in the development of ordinary healthy aggression interfere with development in general. I review the literature on aggression, particularly in relation to Henri Parens' concept of a spectrum of aggression. I describe two cases seen in a gene...
