This monograph presents a selective review of references about assertiveness training. The principles of assertiveness training are detailed with examples throughout. Applications for the use of assertiveness training in three areas are discussed: (1) as a self-help strategy, (2) as a tool for the counselor's use with clients, and (3) as tactics for those interested in becoming group facilitators. An annotated bibliography of 39 carefully selected references is also included. To aid the reader in selecting relevant material, an Assertiveness Resources Chart (ARC) cross references the population and content focus of each resource. (Author)
