Anger Control Training is a key component of the evidence-based Aggression Replacement Training® (ART) model, one of the three core interventions designed to help youth develop prosocial competencies.
Building on Dr. Arnold P. Goldstein’s influential The Prepare Curriculum: Teaching Prosocial Competencies, this updated implementation guide provides practitioners with an evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral approach for fostering emotional regulation, decision-making, and prosocial behavior in adolescents and children.
Designed primarily for small group delivery, the program is also adaptable for individual or classroom settings. The second edition incorporates current research and updated implementation tools to help practitioners deliver Anger Control Training with fidelity and confidence.
