Abstract:
Drawn from a day school for emotionally disturbed adolescents, seven students who scored in the clinical range on the Conduct subscale of the Conners Teacher Rating Scale took part in an anger management program. The program included psychoeducation, anger discrimination training, logging incidents of anger, and training in prosocial responses to anger. Pre-post assessments provided evidence of positive effects. The adolescents showed significant improvement on both the teacher (p<.03) and the parent (p<.04) versions of the Conduct subscale. They also exhibited a trend toward fewer incidents of physical aggression (p<.06). The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.
