Managing Anger

Therapist Manual

The Therapist Manual provides 22 empirically supported tools on managing anger.  It presents the same questions provided in the Client Workbook along with prompts, answers to questions, and additional information.  The format is easy to understand and navigate.  The tools are designed with flexibility in mind so that the therapist has full discretion in choosing the appropriate tool for the session.  The only difference between the color and black and white versions is in visual appeal not in substance.

Managing Anger

Client Workbook

The Client Workbook was designed to accompany the Therapist Manual. It offers 22 empirically supported tools on managing anger.  It allows for full therapist flexibility and discretion in client tool acquisition. Questions are presented with spaces provided for written answers.  The workbooks can be used in an individual or group format.  Each tool is clearly defined with a rationale statement explaining the importance of the tool.  Homework assignments at the end of the each lesson ensure that clients continue their work outside of the session.  Worksheets have a place for clients to write their names and date so that copies can be used for progress notes.  The only difference between the color and black and white versions is in visual appeal not in substance.
