Facilitators should briefly review the key points from the previous session and invite questions and comments from the group. This enables clients to clarify any areas which they found difficult and provide a link with the current session.
Underlying factors associated with aggression are specific to the individual.
These factors are learned in childhood and later reinforced. They inform our beliefs, attitudes and prejudices. This session allows clients to recognize their own underlying factors and to understand that, while experience cannot be changed, the resultant behaviour can. Facilitators should encourage clients to brainstorm underlying factors of aggression as an introduction to the main exercise. It should be re-emphasized to clients that there are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers, and that any ideas that come to mind are valid.
