Summary

Aggression Replacement Training (ART) offers a comprehensive intervention program designed to teach adolescents to understand and replace aggression and antisocial behavior with positive alternatives.

ART provides a coordinated, three-part training approach:
-- Prosocial Skills
-- Anger Control
-- Moral Reasoning

This revision is designed to be more user-friendly and teacher-oriented. It summarizes ART's outcome evaluations and discusses recent applications in schools and other settings.

Appendices include over 100 pages of guidelines, checklists, moral reasoning problem situations, and more.
