Denis G. Sukhodolsky, PhD, is Assistant Professor at the Yale
University Child Study Center. His work concerns the effectiveness
and mechanisms of cognitive-behavioral therapy for children with
disruptive behavior disorders, anxiety, Tourette syndrome, and
autism spectrum disorders. Dr. Sukhodolsky has authored or
coauthored over 60 papers and book chapters, and he has received
awards from the National Institute of Mental Health, the Tourette
Syndrome Association, and the Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation. He
also provides clinical care to children and families and teaches
cognitive-behavioral therapy to clinical fellows. This book is a
result of several clinical trials that examined the effectiveness
of cognitive-behavioral therapy for anger and aggression in
children and adolescents.
Lawrence Scahill, MSN, PhD, is Professor of Nursing and Child
Psychiatry at Yale University, where he is Director of the Research
Unit on Pediatric Psychopharmacology (RUPP) Autism Network at the
Child Study Center. The RUPP Network is focused on developing and
testing new treatments for children with autism spectrum disorders
accompanied by disruptive and explosive behavior. Under Dr.
Scahill's direction, the Yale group is also actively involved in a
clinical trials consortium on Tourette syndrome, the aim of which
is to develop and test new pharmacological and behavioral
interventions in children and adults with Tourette syndrome. Dr.
Scahill serves on the Medical Advisory Board of the Tourette
Syndrome Association and on the editorial boards of several
journals.
"This clear, well-written book incorporates evidence-based
practices for anger management with children and adolescents.
Sukhodolsky and Scahill also draw on their own behavioral treatment
research with neuropsychiatric disorders. The book is notable for
its practical emphasis on how to implement the program. Another
feature that sets this book apart is the inclusion of assertiveness
training and methods to help children prevent anger-provoking
situations before they occur. It will be a useful text for graduate
training in practicum courses and for training clinicians."--John
E. Lochman, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Doddridge Saxon Chairholder in
Clinical Psychology, University of Alabama
"Sukhodolsky and Scahill address an important clinical need for
professionals treating disruptive behaviors in 8- to 16-year-olds.
Based on established research in the field, the approach in this
book can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with
other psychosocial or psychopharmacological therapies.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Anger and Aggression in Children
is a valuable resource for a wide range of clinicians who provide
mental health services to children and adolescents."--Daniel F.
Connor, MD, Lockean Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry and
Chief, Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of
Connecticut School of Medicine
"Anger and aggression are major issues for many children and
adolescents seen in outpatient settings, and practical, effective
interventions are badly needed. This book provides empirically
based tools that can help this volatile (yet often fragile)
population. One strong asset of the authors' approach is that it
attempts to put young people in the driver's seat so they can
experience more control and autonomy over their own actions. Most
of these patients are not deliberately aggressive; they feel
powerless to manage their reactions to upsetting events. This book
will help to break this vicious cycle."--Michael Aman, PhD,
Nisonger Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, The
Ohio State University -Useful for training programs for
psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychiatric nurse
practitioners, and others who provide mental health services to
children….The first Appendix is a rich compilation of all 38
handouts used in the program. As mentioned, these resources are
legitimately reproducible, greatly adding to the overall utility of
this book….This is a well-done, well-laid-out, and well-researched
treatment program presented in modularized fashion for use with a
wide range of children and teenagers. The procedures can be
utilized in both individual and group format, standardizing many
elements of treatment interventions that have been studied and
found to be efficacious. The book may be used in both inpatient and
outpatient facilities and, while primarily meant for clinicians, it
certainly can be an adjunctive graduate text in any child behavior
therapy program or utilized as the format for a university-based
clinic program for acting out children and teenagers.--Child and
