Society for the Prevention of Disorders of Aggression (SPDA)

Our organization was founded by an international consortium of scientists, clinicians, authors, parents, and people affected by disorders of aggression (including psychopathy, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and antisocial personality disorder). We aim to alleviate the suffering caused by disorders of aggression by improving public awareness of these disorders and working towards improved tools for identifying, treating, and preventing these disorders across the lifespan. We seek to address the needs of children and adults with disorders of aggression, as well as the needs and concerns of their families and communities, through education and advocacy; improving public understanding of the signs, symptoms, and causes of disorders of aggression; and offering screenings, resources, and guidance to clinicians, educators, caregivers, and those experiencing disorders of aggression.
