Anger is a significant predictor and activator of agression behavior. There is some evidence for the value of cognitive- behavioral treatments for anger problems with male juvenile delinquents. Fourteen participants engaged in this research. They were randomly allocated to anger intervention group or waiting-list control conditions. Anger intervention group received 8 sessions of intervention. The anger intervention group or waiting-list control group were assessed simultaneously at pre- and post-intervention. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated using analyses of covariance, examining group differences on the main outcome measures. The outcome showed significant effects on state anger assessment, trait anger assessment, anger-out expression, anger control expression. The outcome was discussed then.
