ABSTRACT
Discusses the 15-session Structure/Themes/Open Communication/Reflection/ Individuality/Experiential Learning/ Social-Problem-Solving (STORIES) program, which uses the peer group and story form as vehicles to improve social problem solving for aggressors, victims, and bystanders.
Post-intervention reports show decreases in externalizing and antisocial behaviors for children not identified as aggressive, and increases for the identified children. (Contains 75 references and 3 tables.)
