The Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavior Study

A number of studies have documented the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral interventions in reducing anger and aggressive behavior in youth (Cole, 2008). In one study conducted with elementary school students, school counselors who received training and supervision from clinical psychologists implemented an anger management program. In the control group with limited training and no supervision, students exhibited more problem behaviors. With training and supervision there was no increase in problem behaviors and the researchers noted that children in this group reported a significant decrease in their belief that aggressive behaviors would result in a positive outcome (Lochman et al., 2009).
