Interventions

The two modules ‘Anger Control’ enriched with psychomotor therapy and ‘Social skills’ of Aggression Replacement Training of Goldstein (ART) (Goldstein, Glick & Gibbs, 1998) aims to reduce the risk of

social skills training, anger control training and psychomotor therapy. During the 10 sessions in 10 to 11 weeks, ART is implemented by two aggression replacement trainers who practice examples of ‘da

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age 18-55 years; 2. Men and women; 3. Outpatient; 4. Meeting DSM-IV criteria for Intermittent Explosive Disorder; 5. Score on Overt Aggression Scale-Modified for Outpatient Use (MOAS) of ≥ 15 or score on Social Dysfucntion and Aggression Scale (SDAS) of ≥ 5.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main outcome of aggressive behavior will be the score on the Overt Aggression Scale-Modified for Outpatient Use (MOAS) and Social Dysfunction and Aggression Scale (SDAS). The MOAS and SDAS will be completed by different relevant informants.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
During the pre-screening, the MOAS will be completed to examine if the participant meets the inclusion criteria. To examine if the participant does meet the inclusion and does not meet the exclusion criteria the M.I.N.I., SCID-II, CIDI, PPI, Mate-Crimi and NLV will be completed during the screening. For the baseline and follow-up measure of the interventions, the IOA will be conducted to measure social skills. The IPAS, RPQ, AQ, ZAV, HIT and PSAP will be used to measure the effect of the Anger Control Training. To assess psychomotor training, heart rate and skin conductance will be measured. In addition, neurocognitive tasks will be conducted to examine how responders and non-responders profiles relate to forms and correlates of aggressive behaviour.	—
