New Aggression Replacement Training Set! – Program Book and Training DVD!
The third edition of Aggression Replacement Training (ART) is a comprehensive intervention curriculum for aggressive youth.
This book for practitioners provides both theory and application of theory for group facilitators to use and implement.
Aggression and violent behavior typically are given energy and sustenance by the emotional arousal stemming from anger rooted in cognitive misperceptions of the interpersonal world. Aggression is simultaneously a behavioral, cognitive, and emotional phenomenon. Interventions designed to address must be multidimensional. ART presents this approach.
The authors clarify the theory underlying the ART components and include user-friendly suggestions for successful implementation of the 30-session program. They also address critical implementation concerns, describe program applications at various sites and evaluations of ART’s effectiveness, and detail issues in program administration and management.
