Abstract

The author believes that patients with aggressive personality disorders can be successfully treated in an outpatient setting. One important aspect of the treatment is getting the patient to confront, understand, and handle the depression ensuing from frustration without acting out. The therapist can help the patient by focusing on the daily frustrations of living and by getting him to fantasize about the possible consequences of his aggressive behavior.
