Enuresis, Firesetting, and Cruelty to Animals: Does the Ego Triad Show Predictive Validity?
Slavkin, Michael Lawrence
Adolescence, v36 n143 p461-66 Fall 2001
The hypothesis tested in this study was that the presence of enuresis and cruelty to animals in juvenile firesetters would be significantly related to recidivistic firesetting. No relationship was found between firesetting recidivism and enuresis. However, juveniles who were identified as being cruel to animals were more likely to engage in recidivistic firesetting behaviors. (Author)
