Abstract

The authors studied the relationship between the level of aggressivity in 12 aggressive preschoolers and five hypothesized pathogenic variables: constitutional, lack of maternal attunement to the child's needs, passive experience of aggression, parental overindulgence and the presence of a precipitant. The data tend to support a strong predictive association between the pathogenic variables as a group and the level of aggressivity, although the results must be regarded as preliminary because of the small number of cases.
