Working with Anger

Client anger is a perennial problem for a range of professionals working in clinical settings.<br /> <br /> Working with Anger presents an alternative strategy to the most common approach, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), exploring instead how anger can be tackled from a personal constructivist perspective. It provides a conceptual framework and practical advice on the clinical issues of working with anger, including case study examples, service user perspective, a philosophical and developmental underpinning, and suggested ways of preventing anger development. Ways of working with anger are illustrated, including:<br /> * Group-based treatments<br /> * Individual treatment<br /> * Working with adults<br /> * Working with children and adolescents<br /> * Working with families<br /> * Gender and anger<br /> * Methods of evaluating anger programmes<br /> <br /> <br /> This practical volume will enable clinicians to set up, run and evaluate their own anger programmes using the constructivist approach. It will therefore be a valuable resource for professionals such as clinical and forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurses and social workers.
