The primary objective of this model is to deepen the understandingof clinical mental health professionals and intersecting intervention institutionsworking with urban African American youth on problems related to maladaptive aggressivebehavior. Through a combination of neurobiomarkers and novel psychosocial mechanisms, adevelopmental explanatory model is proposed that explains a substantial portion of thetheoretical variance in maladaptive aggressive behavior. Specific temporal andcontextual cofactors are shown in a developmental perspective that may exacerbatemaladaptive aggressive dispositions with urban African American adolescents who residein at-risk environments
