Helping Schoolchildren Cope with Anger: A Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention. Second Edition
Larson, Jim; Lochman, John E.
Guilford Publications
This guide presents information and clinical tools to implement the Anger Coping Program, an empirically supported intervention for students in grades 3-6. Practitioners are taken step by step through setting up treatment groups, teaching vital skills for reducing aggression and disruptive behavior, and building strong partnerships with teachers and parents. Many practical suggestions are provided for adapting the program to different settings and optimizing student outcomes. In a large-size format with lay-flat binding to facilitate photocopying, the book includes reproducible handouts, forms, and parent letters (in English and Spanish). New to This Edition: (1) Redesigned to be even more practitioner friendly; (2) Chapters on integrating the Anger Coping Program with schoolwide response to intervention (RTI) and positive behavioral supports, intervening with girls and with culturally diverse students, and working with individuals instead of groups; and (3) Several new reproducibles, including a classroom progress monitoring report.
