Efficacy of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy in the treatment of children with adhd, with and without aggressiveness

Thirty-two children with ADHD, 16 aggressive and 16 nonaggressive, participated in the research. We applied a cognitive-behavioral self-control training, which included self-instructional training via modeling and behavioral contingencies, to 16 of the 32 hyperactive children. The other 16 hyperactive children were taught the same program, but combined with anger manag…

Lower cortisol response in high-resilient caregivers of people with autism: the role of anger
2016
Caring for an offspring with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been related to high stress levels and health disturbances.

Furthermore, the study aimed to explore the mediating role of anger in this association. We exposed 40 caregivers of people with ASD to an acute psychosocial stressor in the laboratory. Salivary cortisol samples were obtained before, during, and after the stressor. Resilient c…
