TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Evaluation and treatment of rage in children and adolescents JO - Child psychiatry and human development A1 - Mandoki, M. W. A1 - Sumner, G. S. A1 - Matthews-Ferrari, K. SP - 227 EP - 235 VL - 22 IS - 4 N2 - Rage is characterized by an unpredictable and primitive display of violence that is out of proportion to the provoking event and often threatens serious self-injury or harm to others. New insight into the pathogenesis of unpredictable violent behavior has been gained largely as a result of neurochemical, neuropsychological and brain imaging studies. This article examines episodic rage from a neuropsychiatric perspective. Three cases illustrating the evaluation and treatment of rage in childhood and adolescence are presented.
