N2  - The current literature suggests that anger and violent behavior have multiple psychobiological and sociocultural determinants. However, due to methodological or ethical constraints, our ability to accurately predict or influence the manifestations of interpersonal violence is very limited. Recent reports in the domestic violence literature suggest that there may be specific subtypes of offenders, and the clarification of these subtypes may improve our ability to predict and intervene. Following a brief review of the major psychobiological theories of violence, four putative psychopathological types of offenders are described, and hypotheses are generated as to the relative contributions of underlying determinants. These speculative characterizations may provide a clearer heuristic for further investigations.<p />
