I am working on re-visiting Dollard and Miller's Frustration-Aggression Hypothesis for depression and wondered if anyone is aware of any recent literature referring to it especially in regards to internalising problems, Freud's inverted hostility/aggression hypothesis of depression.

For the explanation of the origin of aggressive behavior psychoanalytic concepts may still have their place, but when it comes to change a behavior these concepts does not help us.
Modern psychological concepts or theories explain aggression or aggressive behavior primarily in constructs of learning theory (Leonard Berkowitz: Cue Arousal Theory | Albert Bandura: Social Learning Theory / Observational Learning | Bandura, 1963, The Bobo-Doll Experiments).
There are modern aggression theories that have evolved from frustration-aggression that incorporate stress/distress, cognition, and a broad range of emotions beyond the simple frustration-aggression connection. Here's some sources:
