Treating Violent Offenders

"A recent paper by Dr. Jessica Yakeley and J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., suggests that understanding violence must be approached in a multidimensional way. They argue that we should try to avoid using a single framework to explain why people kill, hurt others, or undermine the integrity of other human beings – and I think they’re right. For many of us, it is easier to choose a conceptual framework, and view all violence and aggression through a single lens. But this would be a mistake....

"We know from the work of Dr. Vincent J. Felitti and his colleagues in the adverse childhood experiences or ACEs study that these experiences contribute greatly to the development of an aggressive child. In particular, witnessing domestic violence and cruel punishments – physical, emotional, and sexual abuse – are all factors in the kind of fantasies that push a child in the direction of aggression."
