Nine sessions of biweekly anger control group has been delivered in the community mental health center during summer. Four aggressive and disruptive adolescents completed the group. The intervention was based on the stress inoculation of the cognitive-behavioral model which addresses the cognitive preparation, skill acquisition and skill application.
The study was designed to measure the effectiveness of the anger control group. Three dependent variables were the scores of Child Behavior Checklist by Achenbach, self-rating scale, and behavior observation rating. This intervention study suggests a promising treatment effect on the lowering the incident of angry outburst in the adolescents who participated in the group.
