In a view which takes into consideration together systemic concepts, concepts own to the field of communication theories, and ideas of comparative ethology, the author attempts an approach of the mechanisms governing interpersonal regulation of aggressive behaviour. After a brief review of characters of rites, he examines more specifically rites of aggression and of appeasement, currently observed in animal world, and that can be observed too in human species, at a stylized level. In this point of view, he studies not only specific characters of these rites, but their dynamic unrolling into interactional sequences, which can by symmetrical or complementary. He underlines the usefulness of rites in human relationships, especially their regulating value in mastering aggressive behaviour. He calls their therapeutic utilisation, notably in family therapy.
在一种综合考虑系统概念、传播理论领域所特有的概念以及比较行为学观点的视角下，作者尝试探讨支配攻击性行为人际调节的机制。在对仪式的特点进行简要回顾之后，他更具体地研究了目前在动物界观察到的、在人类社会中也能在程式化层面观察到的攻击仪式与安抚仪式。从这一角度来看，他不仅研究这些仪式的具体特征，还研究它们如何动态展开为对称或互补的互动序列。他强调仪式在人际关系中的作用，尤其是它们在控制攻击性行为方面的调节价值。他呼吁对其进行治疗性应用，特别是在家庭治疗中。
