Resumen
This article reviews the concept of assertiveness, its roots, its definitions and dimensions, and the current tendency to replace this concept with other terms. Not one definition has been universally accepted, though an implicit agreement about the meaning of the construct of assertiveness is seen among the clinicians and experimenters. Assertive behaviour is divided into several dimensions, but these have not yet been well established, though assertive training is a successful behaviour therapy technique of treatment. Finally, some characteristics of the assertive behaviour that are recognized in general by professionals in the field are stated.
