| anger management in adolescence: Anger Management for Adolescents (Penerbit USM) Lee Shu Chin , Nor Shafrin Ahmad, 2019 In this period of developmental spectrum, adolescents go through a lot of changes and challenges in life physically, socially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Some adolescents may not be ready to cope with all these challenges, as they may not be able to deal with their emotions. As a result, they may encounter self-conflict, identity crisis, peer stress, peer conflict, school stress in relation to mounting homework, and some may also experience stress due to a problematic family. All of these challenges may lead to adolescents, venturing into the emotions of anger, and aggression if it goes out of control. Anger Management for Adolescents written by Lee Shu Chin and Nor Shafrin is timely and handy as it provides a better guide for helping adolescents deal with behavioural issues, especially those with anger problems. It is the first anger management book based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach for a school setting in Malaysia. Each intervention session is interactive and systematically arranged with clear and detailed instructions to provide good understanding for users. Besides, additional materials are also provided in the appendices, activities, and homeworks. This is a handy guide book for all practitioners, school counsellors, educators and social workers. |
| anger management in adolescence: Adolescent Anger Control Eva L. Feindler, Randolph B. Ecton, 1986 The Adolescent Anger Control Program described in this guidebook is modeled after the important work of Ray Novaco and Don Meichenbaum. They have developed a stress inoculation or coping skills approach which incorporates a number of cognitive-behavioral techniques for arousal reduction and cognitive restructuring. We have blended these techniques with various self-control strategies known to be effective with children and adolescents (in particular, self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-reinforcement) to facilitate the control of anger and aggression. Finally, we have included several social skills and assertion components as well as the training techniques of modeling and behavior rehearsal, we are indebted to Arnie Goldstein, his colleagues and their Skill-streaming approach. |

| anger management in adolescence: Mothering Our Boys (US Edition) Maggie Dent, 2018-11-01 Maggie is earthy and real, full of love and knowledge, especially on raising sons. - Steve Biddulph Maggie's perspective on raising boys is spot on. She writes with humor and depth, providing insight and strategies for many of the most important issues facing moms. There is a lovely ease to her writing and a powerful honesty. I hope every mother of a son (and everyone else!) will read this book. The future of the world, to a great extent, depends on how we raise our boys. - Michael Gurian, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Wonder of Boys and Saving Our Sons If we can see the world through boys' eyes a little better, we will make different choices in the way we mother them… and we will find them less confusing, and love them more deeply. Mothers of sons are worried about raising their boys in a world where negative images of masculinity are front and centre of our media, almost every day. Not only that, but statistically our boys are still struggling in many ways. Even though we live in a time where we recognise that nothing in gender is fixed, it remains a fact that the influence of a mother on her son is massive. A mother of four sons herself, Maggie Dent draws on her personal experience - and over four decades work as a teacher, counsellor and now author and speaker - to help build understanding, empathy and compassion for our boys. Maggie shares her five key secrets that every mum needs to know and uses the voices of men she has worked with and surveyed to reveal what really matters in a boy's relationship with his mother and other mother figures. Maggie is one of Australia's most popular parenting authors and educators, and her seminars about boys have sold out all across Australia and in the UK. She is finally sharing her insights, her reflections, and (as always) her humour around mothering boys to help you be the mum your son needs you to be. |

| anger management in adolescence: Understanding Anger Disorders Raymond DiGiuseppe, Raymond Chip Tafrate, 2007 Since classical times, philosophers and physicians have identified anger as a human frailty that can lead to violence and human suffering, but with the development of a modern science of abnormal psychology and mental disorders, it has been written off as merely an emotional symptom and excluded from most accepted systems of psychiatric diagnosis. Yet despite the lack of scientific recognition, anger-related violence is often in the news, and courts are increasingly mandating anger management treatment. It is time for a fresh scientific examination of one of the most fundamental human emotions and what happens when it becomes pathological, and this thorough, persuasive book offers precisely such a probing analysis.Using both clinical data and a variety of case studies, esteemed anger researchers Raymond A. DiGiuseppe and Raymond Chip Tafrate argue for a new diagnostic classification, Anger Regulation and Expression Disorder, that will help bring about clinical improvements and increased scientific understanding of anger. After situating anger in both historical and emotional contexts, they report research that supports the existence of several subtypes of the disorder and review treatment outcome studies and new interventions to improve treatment. The first book that fully explores anger as a clinical phenomenon and provides a reliable set of assessment criteria, it represents a major step toward establishing the clear definitions and scientific basis necessary for assessing, diagnosing, and treating anger disorders. |

| anger management in adolescence: The Promise of Adolescence National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Children, Youth, and Families, Committee on the Neurobiological and Socio-behavioral Science of Adolescent Development and Its Applications, 2019-07-26 Adolescenceâ€beginning with the onset of puberty and ending in the mid-20sâ€is a critical period of development during which key areas of the brain mature and develop. These changes in brain structure, function, and connectivity mark adolescence as a period of opportunity to discover new vistas, to form relationships with peers and adults, and to explore one's developing identity. It is also a period of resilience that can ameliorate childhood setbacks and set the stage for a thriving trajectory over the life course. Because adolescents comprise nearly one-fourth of the entire U.S. population, the nation needs policies and practices that will better leverage these developmental opportunities to harness the promise of adolescenceâ€rather than focusing myopically on containing its risks. This report examines the neurobiological and socio-behavioral science of adolescent development and outlines how this knowledge can be applied, both to promote adolescent well-being, resilience, and development, and to rectify structural barriers and inequalities in opportunity, enabling all adolescents to flourish. |
