Client anger is a perennial problem for a range of professionals
working in clinical settings.
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:
* Group-based treatments
* Individual treatment
* Working with adults
* Working with children and adolescents
* Working with families
* Gender and anger
* Methods of evaluating anger programmes
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.
