Abstract

Child care professionals at Batshaw Youth and Family Centres in Montreal Canada incorporated Agression Replacement Training (A.R.T.) into the treatment approach offered to clients in the Residential Treatment Services Division. This psycho-educational training adds the cognitive behavioral approach to the agency's systemic, family oriented treatment model, in its work with maladjusted and aggresive adolescents. A.R.T. (Goldstein, Glick and Gibbs, 1998) was introduced on a residential campus where methods and strategies were implemented to develop this structured learning approach and include it in the everyday programming. Family groups were designed to assist in transfer and maintenance of skills.
