Association of Social Work Boards Masters (ASWB MSW) Practice Exam

When adopting the behavior of the aggressor in identification with the aggressor, the goal is to counteract feelings of helplessness. This behavior is often seen in individuals who have been subjected to abuse or bullying, as a way to regain a sense of power and control. Building meaningful relationships or enhancing self-esteem are not the primary goals in this scenario. Improving cognitive capabilities does not directly relate to identifying with the aggressor.
