Abstract

Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is a disabling psychiatric condition characterized by recurrent, problematic, impulsive aggressive outbursts. Despite this, there is currently no empirically supported treatment for IED. A 12-week cognitive behavioral therapy for IED reduced aggression and increased quality of life relative to supportive psychotherapy.
