ART is an evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral intervention for use with aggressive children, adolescents, and adults. ART is targeted at youth with a history of serious aggression and antisocial behavior, and can be applied across several different populations.
Developed by Arnold P. Goldstein, Barry Glick and John C. Gibbs, ART was initiated in 1987. ART concentrates on developing individual competencies to address various emotional and social aspects that contribute to aggressive behavior in youth. It also provides program techniques designed to teach youth how to control their anger impulses and use positive alternatives. ART’s main goal is to prevent and reduce aggression and violence among youth by providing them with opportunities to learn prosocial skills in place of aggressive behavior.
The Three Aspects of ART include:
Skillstreaming - Behavioral component
Anger Management - Emotion-targeted component
Moral Reasoning - Cognitive component
The ART approach is recognized by:
- Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)
- U.S. Dept. of Corrections\U.S. Dept. of Education/Safe and Drug Free Schools.
