We now have access to a much deeper understanding of both the aetiology of aggressive acts and their treatment. We need no longer ignore criminals or abuse them-instead we can provide compassion and containment..The volumes in this series provide both practical advice and theoretical stimulation for introductory students and senior practitioners alike.
