Keywords:
cognitive behavioral therapy, anger, aggression, child and adolescent psychiatry, psychotherapyAbstract
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that can be used to treat patients with mental disorders effectively. Today's anger and aggression among children have increased, as evidenced by news and social media. This academic article aims to review knowledge about CBT in children, focusing on children aged 8 – 16 years with anger and aggression in national and international databases from 1998-2024. The review results report three CBT methods for treating children with anger and aggression: affective education, problem-solving, and skill development. Each method has sub-techniques to enhance success. In this academic article, the author has used real experiences from being a therapist together with the results from reviewing knowledge, summarizing, and describing the content of all three mentioned methods, including sub-techniques, along with examples of their use in children with anger and aggression. Accordingly, this article suits nurses, therapists, medical personnel, and those interested in general who want to have basic knowledge in CBT of children with anger and aggression for further use.
