Children Who Hate: How and why the behavior controls of children break down

Tight, unmarked; age tanned; light crease to bottom inside edge of cover; a couple of areas of light rubbing to covers; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; Studies from a 1962 perspective. The study of volatile emotions and violence in youngsters is a disturbing book. Systematically, yet sensitively, it probes the breakdown of behavior controls in a group of children whose extreme aggressiveness requires clinical treatment. The authors show, in vivid detail, how these children of neglect seize upon "delinquent defenses" in response to - and against - the adult world.
