Anger is an affective stress reaction to provocation events and involves both physiological and cognitive determinants (Novaco, 1975, 1979). Anger is not necessarily accompanied by aggressive behavior, nor is aggressive behavior always driven by anger. However, for youth who are often impulsive with few emotion regulation skills, aggression often follows anger.
This daylong workshop provides clinicians with an overview of cognitive-behavior therapy for anger. You learn strategies to increase motivation and self-awareness, dampen physiologic arousal and shift attributions that contribute to the anger response. Explore guidelines for teaching a variety of interpersonal, communication and problem-solving skills to enable youth to manage anger in a variety of settings. Workshop curriculum includes role-play, video, small group discussions and exercises to enhance the learning of basic cognitive-behavior therapy skills.
