Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale: Amygdala. Abnormalities of the amygdala are associated with aggressive behavior.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The client is feeling undervalued and insignificant, two factors that humanistic theory poses as leading to aggression. Psychoanalytic theory poses that aggression is a human instinctual response to anger. Behavioral theory poses that aggression is a learned behavior that continues if reinforced. Social-interpersonal theory poses that aggressive behavior is precipitated by early childhood trauma or abuse and emotional rejection.
