I am trying to locate Dr. Meichenbaum’s work on violence and work on mediation as I am working in Afghanistan and in shelters to train staff. While many of the women have traumatic pasts, they have also learned to be agressive and violent. I am working to train staff who need a lot of help and I plan to set up house systems for behavior management. Any ideas/resources there would be much appreciated too.
Is the violence book from the center in Florida now available on Amazon. I see what looks like a very good resource book there?
