OBJECTIVE: Anger, @entity146 , and @entity146 are among the most common reasons for @entity1 mental health referrals. This review is focused on two forms of behavioral interventions for these @entity146 : Parent management training (PMT) and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). METHODS: First, we provide an overview of anger/ @entity146 and @entity146 as the treatment targets of behavioral interventions, followed by a discussion of the general principles and techniques of these treatment modalities. Then we discuss our current work concerning the transdiagnostic approach to CBT for anger, @entity146 , and @entity146 . RESULTS: PMT is aimed at improving aversive patterns of family interactions that engender @entity1 's disruptive behavior. CBT targets @entity51 and social problem-solving that are associated with @entity146 . Both forms of treatment have received extensive support in randomized controlled trials. Given that anger/ @entity146 and @entity146 are common in @entity1 with a variety of psychiatric diagnoses, a transdiagnostic approach to CBT for anger and @entity146 is described in detail. CONCLUSIONS: PMT and CBT have been well studied in randomized controlled trials in @entity1 with @entity952 , and studies of transdiagnostic approaches to CBT for anger and @entity146 are currently underway. More work is needed to develop treatments for other types of @entity146 (e.g., relational @entity146 ) that have been relatively neglected in clinical research. The role of @entity8192 in response to behavioral interventions and treatment of @entity146 in @entity1 with @entity148 and @entity1316 also warrants further investigation.
