Handbook of Anger Management by Ronald T. Potter-Efron Book PDF Summary
Provides therapists and counsellors with a comprehensive review of anger and aggression management techniques, presenting specific guidelines to a number of immediately useful methods, detailing treatment options and intervention methods that meet the needs of individual clients, couples, families, and groups. It examines rage, aggression, hostility, resentment, hatred, anger avoidance, and chronic anger and includes fact-based case studies that illustrate effective theory and practice. A process for assessing anger in their clients and determining the reasons for - and the consequences of - anger and aggression is suggested. Individual and group modalities are examined, using behavioural, cognitive, affective, and existential/spiritual treatment approaches to define anger and anger problems and how they relate to social learning, to examine the relationship between anger and aggression and between anger and domestic violence, and to address the concept of "healthy anger." Other topics covered include : four major intervention areas that can help lessen anger; the pros and cons of group versus individual counselling; treating angry children, adolescents, and families; how patterns of resentment and hatred are developed; self-forgiveness; five damaging aspects of anger turned inward; and the neurological aspects of anger.
