Anger Management in Schools: Alternatives to Student Violence [Paperback]

Jerry Wilde (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0810842092 | ISBN-13: 978-0810842090 | Publication Date: July 2002 | Edition: 2nd Edition

Anger can be directly linked to violence, health problems, and interpersonal difficulty. It is imperative that we teach children to control their anger. Using the Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) model, Wilde shows how teachers and counselors can encourage students to acknowledge and change feelings that are causing problems in their lives. Helping students learn not to become angry will directly or indirectly benefit all those who are involved in the education of our children.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...a very useful tool for psychologists. It lays out a program that can be used for both elementary and secondary students...I would recommend this book to other school psychologists as well as to teachers and administrators. It covers the topic thoroughly and answers virtually every question one might have about implementing such a program. (From a review of the first edition.) (Educational Horizons )

...an excellent book for school administrators, guidance counselors, and teachers. (From a review of the first edition.) (Communique )

More About the Author

Jerry Wilde is a professor of educational psychology for Indiana University East. Prior to this academic appointment, he spent years working with students who had emotional, behavioral, and learning difficulties. It was through his experiences with children and families that he learned the skills and techniques included in his books. His experiences with his own health problems have reinforce his beliefs about the nature of emotions. After experiencing kidney failure and being on dialysis, he was fortunate enough to receive a kidney transplant. However, he recenlty developed cancer in his transplanted kidney and will soon be back on dialysis. Through it all, Jerry remains optimistic and stubbornly refuses to let these difficulties change his outlook on life. Other than psychology, the great loves of his life are his family, the Iowa Hawkeyes, the Minnesota Twins, and Diet Mt. Dew. He can be contacted at [e-mail]
