Reidy, Thomas J.

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 33, 4, 1140-5, Oct 77

This research attempted to determine whether child abuse influences aggression in young children. The results clearly indicate that abused children are significantly more aggressive than nonabused, normal children in three distinct areas: fantasy, free play environment, and a school environment.
