| Michael Currie draws on years of professional experience to advise worried parents, writes Julie Szego.
After years of trial and error, a psychologist and author says he has a way to bring angry teenage boys back to civility - gently. Michael Currie was conducting a meeting for aggressive teenage boys at a Newcastle high school about two years ago when things got out of control. This fact alone was hardly unusual given Currie, who approaches school principals with the plea "give me all your problematic angry boys" and often cops a degree of suspicion in return. The episode is only memorable because of Currie's handling or, more accurately, his mishandling of it.
