"Aggression - a wide variety of acts that involve attack" (The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology-Third Edition 2001) In this essay‚ I will explain and evaluate three psychological approaches of aggression from Sigmund Freud‚ Burrhus F Skinner and Carl R Rogers.

Freud identified sexual and aggressive instincts as the primary unconscious drives that determine human behavior.
