This book provides a short overview of the development of aggressive behavior assessment
guidelines and the contents and materials of two training programs. The Training with
Aggressive Children and Training with Adolescents are recognized multimodal
cognitive-behavioral training programs developed for the treatment of aggressive behavior
(oppositional defiant disorder conduct disorder) in children and adolescents. The individual
and group training modules are supported by parent and family counseling. The training programs
are based on the modern learning theory. The effectiveness of the training programs was proven
through empirical studies. The children and adolescents concerned showed important improvement
and significant changes with respect to problem behavior as well as an increased prosocial
behavior.
