Aggression replacement training

Aggression replacement training (ART) is a cognitive behavioural intervention for reduction of aggressive and violent behaviour, originally focused on adolescents. It is a multimodal program that has three components;^[1] Social skills, Anger Control Training and Moral Reasoning.^[2] ART was developed in the United States in the 1980s by Arnold P. Goldstein and Barry Glick and is now used throughout North America as well as Europe, South America, and Australia in human services systems including juvenile justice systems, human services schools and adult corrections.^[3] ART is not yet regarded as a model program but is described in most research surveys as a promising program.
