Abstract

Various methods are available for the treatment of aggression, sexual aggression and auto-aggression. There can unfortunately be no talk of an actual "anti-aggressive" drug, so that the choice of individual and combined medication will depend on the nosological classification of the underlying illness, on the phenomenology of the manifestation, and also on the result of weighing the therapeutic expectation against the possible risk. Drug treatment of aggression will, however, only be successful when it is integrated into an overall psychotherapeutic sociopsychiatrically oriented plan of therapy.
