Abstract

FAUSTLOS is a curriculum that has been developed for the prevention of aggression and potentially violent behavior in children in nursery and primary school. A lack of social skills is regarded as one of the fundamental causes that deteriorates problem and conflict solving. FAUSTLOS is the German version of an American program called Second Step that has been developed by the Committee for Children in Seattle and has been successfully put into practice in several American states over the last eight years. The project "Kinder und Gewalt" has adapted it for the German speaking countries. FAUSTLOS is at present in its pilot phase. The following is a general survey of the inception, contents and methods of the curriculum and the planning and execution of the pilot phase.
