$21.95

As one of the first social skills training approaches, Skillstreaming is now over 20 years old and continues to be widely used. A psychoeducational, behavioral approach to teaching social skills, Skillstreaming consists of (a) modeling, (b) role playing, (c) performance feedback, and (d) transfer training. Although the prodedure is appropriate for diverse types of interpersonally skill-deficient youths, its primary target has always been chronically aggressive adolescents. This user-friendly text starts with a close look at these youngsters as they exist in our schools. Subsequent chapters provide step-by-step real-world use of this curriculum accompanied by a discussion of the problems and challenges of skill generalization.
