Critics Review
I work as an inpatient psychiatrist on a unit focused on chronic psychiatric disorders and, unfortunately, aggressive patients are a common event. I have not read a book that primarily focuses on aggression and I found the information in this book to be clear, free of bias, reflective of my clinical experience, and directly practical. The sections covering intermittent explosive disorder are particularly useful. It is my hope that future research will be done to expand upon the areas of autism and substance use disorders and will be reflected in future editions.
