Abstract
This article describes a cognitive-behavioral social skills training program designed for preadolescent, conduct-disordered boys in residential treatment. Program evaluation fmdings demonstrate consistent improvement in social skill competency and significant positive changes in selfesteem and self-control. Outcome data on 30 boys one year after discharge suggest that the program has potential long-term benefits. Key elements contributing to the program's success seem to be (1) recognition of a multiplicity of disabilities in these boys, (2) shared treatment philosophy, (3) involvement of counsellors, and (4) ongoing program evaluation.
