TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Biopsychosocial approaches to understanding human aggression: the first 30 years JO - Clinical psychology review A1 - Berman, Mitchell E. SP - 585 EP - 588 VL - 17 IS - 6 N2 - Theorists and researchers have long been aware of the potential utility of multidimensional explanations of human behavior, including human aggressive behavior. Biopsychosocial models are multidimensional explanations that attempt to provide a framework for understanding how biologic, contextual, and individual difference variables combine to influence human behavior. In this paper, the rationale for giving contemporary investigators a forum to discuss research findings on aggressive behavior from a biopsychosocial perspective is developed. The advantages and potential shortcomings of viewing aggressive behavior from a biopsychosocial perspective are briefly discussed.
