INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF
ANGER MANAGEMENT: 1 DAY WORKSHOP
Monday 4th February, 2008
Park House Club, Park Place, Cardiff, South Wales.
Anger is an emotional state that varies in intensity from mild irritation to intense fury and rage. It
is a useful emotion when channeled appropriately. It can also be a debilitating emotion, which,
when acted upon can have serious consequences for the person, their physical health, their day to
day functioning, those around them, mental health and primary care services as well as the wider
society. Anger management is the collective term used to describe the assessment and treatment
of anger - based upon Cognitive Behavioural principles.
We provide an overview of Anger Management. The morning covers: (1) Definition; (2)
Diagnostic issues; (3) Prevalence and co-morbidity; (4) An overview of Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy and CBT Models; and (5) An overview of the Anger Management model and the
evidence for its effectiveness. After lunch we cover: (6) The clinical assessment of anger
(including a role play presentation); (7) Anger measures; (8) Treatment suitability considerations
and case management; (9) Case formulation; and (10) The main treatment interventions.
Who should attend?
Attendance is open to professionals from a wide range of disciplines who are not experienced in
anger management. It will be of particular relevance to those working in clinical practice
including: psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, legal
