The author describes characteristics of patients, primarily adolescents, who suffer from episodic violent behavior and their relations with their families. Typical family patterns include overly close alliances by the adolescent with one or both parents and transmission by parents of inconsistent values regarding aggression. Family therapy is the preferred treatment approach; treatment should be active, should initially focus on ways of handling dyscontrol episodes, and should emphasize that the patient is responsible for his or her actions.
作者描述了患有发作性暴力行为的患者（主要是青少年）的特征以及他们与家人的关系。典型的家庭模式包括青少年与父母一方或双方过度亲密的联盟，以及父母传递关于攻击行为的不一致价值观。家庭治疗是首选的治疗方法；治疗应该积极主动，最初应专注于处理失控发作的方法，并应强调患者要对自己的行为负责。
