Summary

"After decades of neglect, researchers have begun to focus attention on the development and outcomes of girlhood aggression. The Development and Treatment of Girlhood Aggression provides an account of some of the pioneering research in the field. Its central aims are to highlight current understanding, identify key components for preventing and treating the complex array of problems experienced by aggressive girls, and raise new questions for future research." "The contributors represent a wide range of disciplines, including psychology, sociology, psychiatry, and social work, and their perspectives highlight the diverse factors that moderate the emergence of aggression while offering insight into how to target that aggression at various stages of development." "The Development and Treatment of Girlhood Aggression is essential reading for anyone studying and/or working with girls with aggressive behavior problems."--BOOK JACKET.
