From the Paper
"The symptoms of Epilepsy, in my opinion and using the aforementioned evidence, definitely reflect the effects of the disease on the "normal" physiological functioning of the body. The chaotic, unregulated neuronal discharge in the cortex seems to have, from a simplistic point of view, a direct and visible correlation with the chaotic events, muscular spasm and loss of involuntary functions e.g., Breathing, bladder control or swallowing. The complexities of diagnosis and detection of the areas of brain cortex responsible for the discharge are made somewhat easier by the use of EEG, this also simplifies diagnosis of each individual as well as identifying which strain they may have. Although Monton (1985) does state that EEG has its limitations and therefore requires clinical assessment to be used in conjunction with EEG for effective and accurate investigation and diagnosis."

Abstract
The emergence of a body of research into children's behavior around what has come to be called the area of conduct disorders indicates the seriousness with which the discipline of psychology is addressing evidence of social aggression and dissociation in the earliest years of life. This research examines the project of changing the violent behavior of a three-year-old subject. The research sets the context for and importance of embarking upon such a project and then discusses relevant research literature in this area with a view toward identifying appropriate intervention modalities as well as a strategy for implementing a particular kind of intervention.

From the Paper
"This approach implies, though it does not always state overtly, that the earlier preventive and reinforcing measures are undertaken, the better, which is to say that infancy is not too soon for parents to be alerted to child-rearing strategies that can have the effect of forestalling aggression-related problems in later childhood. Their line of thought is that training in a child's social competencies really starts with parental training in the same thing. Thus the emphasis throughout on "family management practices" that foster the creation and enforcement of well-articulated rules of family life, effective and diligent behavior monitoring, and the application of reasonable and consistent discipline."
