The social characteristics of students involved in school violence are then outlined followed by a description of various school violence prevention programs and the role of school counselors in preventing school violence. Next is a description of several specific types of social skills training groups and typical problems found with such groups. The function of play with regard to childhood development is then discussed followed by an introduction to Child Centered Play Therapy.
