Reviews

"In Control is a complete skill-building program . . . . The 10 sessions follow a succinct, interactive methodology that tempts even the most guarded youngster into participation . . . . Each lesson can be modified by the user to reach a variety of populations in a multitude of settings (i.e., classroom, behavioral health facility, therapy session, detention facility, etc.)."
Ann E. Hackerman, Counseling Today

"Kellner's In Control program is thorough and easy to implement. . . . Readers are equipped with the session outlines as well as a basic connecting activity, review sheet, checklist, and 'anger log' for each session."
Youth Today

"The book, written with an extremely supportive tone is genuine in its desire to help and offers the children various activities that make learning about anger management fun."
