Although Applied Behavior Analysis has long focused on functional analysis and treatment of aggression and violence, especially in people with little developmental disabilities, less attention has been paid to the broad context of the causes of aggression and violence . This workshop will provide a comprehensive review of aggression and violence and its implications for prevention and treatment at the level of individuals, couples and society.
