Dr. Cortman and his coauthor Dr. Shinitzky
have developed a prevention curriculum
based on their book
"Your Mind: An Owners Manual"
for adolescents called,
"The Social Black Belt".

The program is designed to equip young
people to master the necessary skills to
respond appropriately to peer pressure,
bullying, social challenges, etc., in addition to
maintaining healthy relationships with family
and authority figures.
