Answer to Question 1

Studies into social aggression in girls have found that when angry, girls show aggression indirectly through verbal insults, gossip, ostracism, getting even, or third party retaliationreferred to as relational aggression..

Answer to Question 2

The focus of clinical assessment is to obtain a detailed understanding of the individual child or family as a unique entity (e.g., Felicia and her family), referred to as idiographic case formulation.. This is in contrast to a nomothetic formulation, which emphasizes broad general inferences that apply to large groups of individuals (e.g., children with a depressive disorder).
