Dr. Claudia Black's comprehensive workbook designed for clinicians
working with clients whose anger is preventing them from living healthy
and productive lives.
Newly revised and updated, this clinical workbook is a valuable aid to
mental health professionals with clients addressing serious anger
issues. These difficulties may range from how they view and feel about
themselves, to parenting skills, relationships, job performance, legal
issues, and overall health. While some individuals are more motivated to
change than others, the strategies in this book will assist in both
motivation and change.
Some clients may be participating in an anger management group as a
consequence of domestic violence or other illegal behaviors that have
arisen from their inappropriate expression of anger. Others may be in
individual, couples, or family therapy and their anger has been
identified as a crucial clinical issue. The foundation of client
assessment and intervention this book offers will be useful in working
with all of these clients.
Anger Strategies is composed of seven sections with 42 sessions
containing didactic information and reproducible handouts that can be
used in a group or individual setting. Many of the strategies present
ideas and formats for structured interventions. Written exercises,
checklists, sentence stems, structured dialogues, and art activities are
an integral part of this therapeutic technique.
