Twenty years ago the dislike of traditional treatment may have presented some real challenges. Today, however, there are many more treatment alternatives to which a client can be referred to if she or he would not match well with a traditional treatment facility. A good referral might be to a psychologist or other therapist who practices cognitive behavioral therapy for individuals. In addition, the advent of the Internet era allows for new and creative treatment alternatives even for people in small communities. 

The optimal treatment of aggressive youths requires the involvement of multiple professionals and agencies. Interventions include healthy peer activities, supportive adults, removal of weapons from the home, abstinence from substances, psychoeducation, individual and cognitive behavioral therapy, group and family therapies, school-based interventions, multisys-temic therapy, anger management techniques, and psychopharmacology.

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a self-help organization for people whose common goal is recovery from alcoholism, and it is the most widely accessed resource for individuals with alcohol problems (McCrady and Miller 1993). The philosophy is based on the concept of alcoholism as a chronic disease that cannot be cured, but one that can be halted by means of complete abstinence. AA has described 12 principles or steps to guide those in recovery. Twelve-step facilitation, a manual-based psychotherapy to promote AA participation (Nowinski et al. 1992), was equally efficacious, compared with cognitive-behavioral and motivational enhancement therapies, in a large study of treatments for alcohol dependence (Project Match Research Group, 1997).

As mentioned in chapter 2, individuals particular personality style and unique psychodynamics will often dramatically influence how they respond to pharmacotherapy. Robert Michaels (1992) has commented that in general clinical practice two-thirds of patients with Axis I disorders appear to respond quite well either to medication treatment or to brief, targeted psychological interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral or interpersonal therapy. However, a significant minority of patients with clear-cut Axis I disorders don t respond well to such treatments, primarily due to serious co-morbid character pathology. In treating these people, at the very least the clinician must be alert to how personality factors influence treatment outcome often medication treatment must be accompanied by more intensive psychotherapy that addresses the personality disorder. 

World One is the material world World Two the subjective world of each individual s mind World Three is objective structures that are produced by the collective action of human minds but once produced are independent. Within World Three is the knowledge of books, social organizations and techniques of communication. The US clinical psychotherapist Albert Ellis independently developed a famous system of cognitive behavioral psychology involving Activating experiences. Belief systems and Consequences of actions that closely corresponds to Popper s three worlds. His system of disputation and accountability is now at the heart of most clinical therapy.
