At the time of consultation, the patient had been experiencing 25 violent temper episodes per day with each episode lasting up to 20 minutes. The episodes consisted of ear piercing screams, combatant behavior and the patient throwing herself onto the floor. She also exhibited 3 episodes each day of self-inflicted violent behavior which included biting her arm, slapping her head, and repeatedly banging her head against a full length mirror. Her parents advised that she also expressed at least 1 episode each day of outward violent behavior which consisted of hitting people, especially her mother to include slapping the glasses off her face. The patient continued to improve over the next 8 months. Adjustments were rendered very infrequently. Her mother reports that the patient currently exhibits the type of anger in intensity and frequency that normal children have when not getting their way, etc. The patient may rarely show some self-violent behavior with slapping her own head if she is over stimulated or very tired. Any outward violent behavior, if ever seen, is described by her mother as usual childhood behavior as when mad with a sibling. Her sleep pattern continues to be undisturbed. She continues to improve in her speech development with increased use of complex structured sentences. Her gross motor skills have improved to the point of performing somersaults and playing catch, while her fine motor skills include work with holding pencils correctly, using keys, and the ability to feed herself (even soup) using utensils.
