Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Children with Aggressive Behavior

Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Children with Aggressive Behavior: Applying Coping Power in School and Clinical Settings explores the theoretical development, empirical foundations, and real-world implementation of today’s most effective and outcomes-driven models for cognitive behavioral interventions in schools. Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Children with Aggressive Behavior: Applying Coping Power in School and Clinical Settings explores the theoretical development, empirical foundations, and real-world implementation of one of today’s most effective and outcomes-driven models for cognitive behavioral interventions in schools. Coping Power, which developed from Anger Coping, was created to support prevention and early intervention efforts for aggressive, high-risk children and adolescents by school-based mental health professionals. Offering a basis for Coping Power’s history, objectives, activities, and models, this book uses current implementation science models to explore the training, implementation, and dissemination of research inspired by the program. Further insights are offered on how Coping Power can be adapted across diverse community contexts and optimized with new methodological approaches. Graduate students, teaching faculty, supervising professionals, and researchers in school psychology, school counseling, school social work, special education, clinical and community psychology and beyond will come away with new perspectives on how to intentionally develop and evaluate adaptations of existing evidence-based interventions in order to meet the needs of children who are less responsive to existing interventions.
