TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Aggression and violence: perspectives on integrating animal and human research approaches JO - Hormones and behavior A1 - Lederhendler, Israel I. SP - 156 EP - 160 VL - 44 IS - 3 N2 - Aggression and violence are concerns that engage us across society as moral and cultural issues. They are also critical issues for mental health research--both for survivors and for understanding how such behaviors occur. Interpersonal violence often explodes in deliberate acts of physical force leaving survivors behind with a diminished sense of control that is often shadowed by persistent fear and anxiety. The treatment of the victims is a clear and immediate concern; from their perspectives the medical consequences require effective attention whether they suffered as a result of acts of nature, mental disease, ideology, or combinations of these. At the same time preventing violent behavior from happening in the first place is a compelling challenge for public health research.
