Working with children with aggressive behavior

Aggressive children appear to others as troublemakers, disrupting order, while they themselves perceive themselves as victims. The proven program of Franz and Ulrike Petermann shows how aggressive children can be taken out of the vicious cycle of violence.

"Working with children with aggressive behavior" describes the phenomena and causes of aggressive behavior and presents a therapeutic program for aggressive children, which aims to teach them appropriate ways of behavior. The program can be carried out as individual or group work, as well as combined with accompanying work with parents. It is suitable for boys and girls between 6 and 12 years old who show aggressive and oppositional behavior. It can be carried out as parenting consultations, psychotherapy, in children's homes or inpatient medical facilities.

The program is supplemented with materials, examples from therapeutic practice and a description of critical situations in therapy.
