title: Unsocialized aggressive boys: a follow-up study.
abstract: Twenty-two boys who met criteria for the diagnosis "unsocialized aggressive reaction" and had been admitted to an inpatient unit were followed up 21 months later. Two thirds were improved. Fighting and resistance to discipline were diminished while impulsiveness and similar traits persisted. Boys who were separated from an antisocial parent but lived in a home did better than others.
