The purpose of this study is to determine whether individualized biofeedback of arousal (skin conductance) is effective in the treatment of aggressive behavior problems in children and adolescents with either predominantly impulsive (reactive) and/or high callous unemotional traits (proactive) subtypes of aggression when compared to treatment as usual (TAU), and induces normalization when compared to a group of typically developing children receiving no intervention.
