5.0 out of 5 stars This ia a practical well thought out guide., September 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Anger Management And Violence Prevention: A Group Activities Manual For Middle And High School Students (Paperback)

This test can be used as a guideline for adapting an effective counseling program for students in a secondary school setting. It reviews the "how to" set it up with attention to getting administrative support, screening students, parent permission, group rules, group topics, cognitive-behavioral strategies, applications to real life scenarios and attention is paid to the impact of family violence. It provides "anger management steps" to encourage students to think before they react to their feelings. Some adaptations are neccessary to accommodate individual situations or policies withing your own school setting. This is just an excellent text!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Complete Tested Program, February 26, 2005

This review is from: Anger Management And Violence Prevention: A Group Activities Manual For Middle And High School Students (Paperback)

While the movies would make us believe that the high school years are our happiest time, it is a time of stress for the students as they move from childhood to young adulthood. Many times the pressures of divorcing parents, alcohol or other drug problems create an anger in the student that may break out into violence.

This book lays out a complete program of treating these problems. It starts setting up the program, getting teachers to refer students to the program, convincing the school (or other organization) to allow implementation of the program and other high level aspects.

From there is goes on to provide the planning for each session, down to including such things as 'graduation' certificates for the students, reporting forms and so on.

This book completely lays out the whole program that has been successfully implemented many times.
