A review of the pharmacotherapy of aggression in children and adolescents
J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry.
1990 Mar.
Abstract
Aggressive behavior in children and adolescents is a heterogeneous phenomenon occurring in a wide variety of illnesses. No single etiologic model seems adequate to explain this phenomenon. In many cases, pharmacotherapy may prove to be a useful adjunct to treatment. Potentially useful medications are described in reference to psychiatric diagnosis. Pharmacological treatment can be helpful in the management of the aggressive youth when judiciously applied in the context of a comprehensive treatment plan.
