Although aggression in adolescents is maintained by many factors, some youth may lack ability to resolve basic conflicts and generally be unaware of nonviolent options for solving problems. In an effort to address this skill deficit, staff at a Midwestern residential treatment center introduced a structured cognitive-behavioral self-control training program for adolescents into the existing behavior management program. Program participants were taught a series of specific cognitive-behavioral skills and systematically reinforced for using these skills in real-life settings. An evaluation of 7 outcome measures revealed changes in a positive direction on 6 of these measures. Anecdotal evaluation by staff and residents was positive. Cognitive-behavioral self-control training may be an important adjunct or an alternative to traditional contingency management approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
