Abstract

Conflicts about aggression are among the most significant problems that students encounter. They must face these conflicts within the framework of crucial developmental tasks such as the achievement of identity, intimacy, and maturity. The incorporation of conflicts about aggression into a complicated and distorted belief system or family mythology is a common phenomenon. An appreciation of this mythology is an important step in understanding the student's individual and family psychodynamics.
