“Does cognitive-behavioral therapy help with aggression?”
My daughter has had aggressive behavior lately. Does cognitive-behavioral therapy help with aggression?
10 Answers
Yes it does
This variant of CBT focuses specifically on children and adolescents who have anger-related problems. The practice is rated Effective for reducing aggression and anger expression, and improving self-control, problem-solving, and social competencies
Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) can help with aggression. CBT teaches individuals how to regulate their frustration, improve their social problem-solving skills, and role-play assertive behaviours that can be used during conflicts instead of aggression. CBT helps individuals identify and change negative beliefs, thoughts, and patterns that add to unfavourable behaviours.
I don't practice CBT. I can not offer a recommendation without knowing more about your daughter and also you. Why do you ask specifically about CBT as compared to many other theoretical and technical orientations?
Yes, CBT does help individuals who struggle with aggression symptoms and can teach them how their emotions are tied to their behaviors.
It can help along with relaxation techniques and teaching strategies for emotion regulation.
Cognitive Behavior therapy is one of the most effective forms of therapy for aggression. However, individual cases need to be evaluated in order to implement an appropriate plan. Other forms of therapy should be implemented as well. Seek professional guidance in order to develop an appropriate plan for your daughter.
Hello and thank you for your question, Yes, CBT can be helpful in managing anger and aggression issues. CBT is also commonly practiced by many therapists.
Studies has been conducted to prove the effectiveness of CBT therapy with individuals who struggle with aggressive behavior. However, treatment plans and approaches can differ from client to client. There truly are no cookie-cutter methods for all clients. So, while one person may respond to CBT treatment alone, another may require additional methods (i.e., psychotropic medication) as a part of their treatment plan. Another thing to consider is that symptoms of aggressive behavior can be tied to other diagnoses. I suggest shelling an appointment with a therapist to gain a better understanding of the cause of your daughter’s aggression.
I hope this helps.
