Abstract

The present study describes both the implementation and the results of a training in assertiveness. S. is a 24-years-old man with an aggressive communication style towards his father, his partner and his friends. In order to reduce the frequency of conflicts where S.'s response is aggressive, an assertiveness training is proposed. The effectiveness is assessed by self-report registries on a weekly basis. The psychological intervention was made up of twenty four sessions: five assessment sessions, sixteen cognitive-behavioral sessions and three follow-up sessions. The results, mainly based on self-reports, showed a change on his communication pattern that allowed him to significantly improve with an adaptive behavior.
