Description:... The Adolescent Anger Control Program described in this guidebook is modeled after the important work of Ray Novaco and Don Meichenbaum. They have developed a stress inoculation or coping skills approach which incorporates a number of cognitive-behavioral techniques for arousal reduction and cognitive restructuring. We have blended these techniques with various self-control strategies known to be effective with children and adolescents (in particular, self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-reinforcement) to facilitate the control of anger and aggression. Finally, we have included several social skills and assertion components as well as the training techniques of modeling and behavior rehearsal, we are indebted to Arnie Goldstein, his colleagues and their Skill-streaming approach.
