Adult Anger Management

The Anderson & Anderson Anger Management Curricula is the one and only anger management training approved by the state Board of Corrections for the training of Probation, Parole and Correctional Officers in California. This model is also used in Canada, Philippines, England, Mexico, Guam, United States, Ireland, South Africa, Cayman Islands, Bermuda and Italy. This training is also available on interactive CDs.
This training consists of two days of training. The first day will focus on Adult Anger Management and will use the Anderson workbook Controlling Ourselves as the text. Videos and exercises will be used. A demonstration and discussion of the Conover Assessment Component will be conducted. This one-day training is designed for School Counselors/Psychologists, Substance Abuse Counselors, Clinicians, as well as staff from group homes, and agencies serving families and youth. This curriculum is currently being used in school districts in Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, Concord and San Diego, as well as school districts in Texas and Louisiana. In addition, probation departments in Arizona, Kansas, California and Texas are using this model.
The second day, Advanced Training, is designed for experienced group facilitators or those who have already completed the two-day training. This will allow participates to fine-tune their skills while having an opportunity to participate in demonstration groups using the client workbooks. The focus will be on styles of leadership, group process, group cohesion, and developing competence in the Anderson & Anderson psycho-educational model of intervention. Marketing and the business of an anger management practice will be explored in depth.
The Anderson & Anderson model of anger management intervention relies heavily on emotional intelligence assessment and intervention. This course is designed to enhance the emotional intelligence components of our client workbooks and facilitator certification training. The course will be interactive so that each participant will be given an opportunity to take and score his or her own Personal Skills (emotional intelligence) Map. In addition, skill enhancement in Interpersonal Assertion, Stress Management, Empathy and Communication will be examined in considerable detail.

Certification
Dr. Evans is a Certified Anger Management Facilitator. He was trained by George Anderson (Mr. Anderson was the consultant to the motion picture Anger Management). Dr. Evans' services as an Anger Management Facilitator are designed for individuals who have problems managing angry feelings.  (See our program objectives.)  Anger is a basic human emotion. Dr. Evans also provides training for organizations that are interested in training their staff on reducing conflict, managing stress, controlling anger and increasing emotional intelligence. In addition, Dr. Evans trains professionals in the facilitation of anger management groups. Anger is frequently referred to as a secondary emotion. Anger is secondary to or is used to express other negative feelings such as fear, rage, unhappiness, discontent, depression and others. (See our checklist.) Frequently, the angry person gains attention, control and influence from or over others. The expression of anger is learned and, therefore, we can "unlearn" the inappropriate or self-defeating expression of it when we learn new skills. The expression of anger can have some very heavy costs.  (Read about the costs of anger.) Dr. Evans teaches the acceptable expression of anger and helps individuals recognize and manage anger, thereby eliminating violent and self-destructive behaviors from their lives. Participants will learn to identify and control their anger so that it does not become a destructive force in their lives. By gaining a better understanding of self, individuals will learn to better control their anger so that it doesn't lead to violent outbursts or actions that are harmful to others. Different techniques are learned for stress management and enhancing emotional intelligence. Also part of this program is a focus on improving communications so that individuals may become better listeners and communicators. Please note that anger management training is an educational process and is not psychotherapy or counseling. Psychotherapy and counseling typically are not effective in anger management. Anger management is about learning new behavior, not treating psychological illness. Individuals diagnosed with psychiatric disorders typically are not suitable for anger management training alone. Anger and emotional management training is conducted for both individuals in groups and for organizations. Organizations will enjoy not only a more peaceful and safer environment but will realize other benefits as well. Organizations that provide training for their staff in anger and emotional management will realize greater productivity and efficiency. A staff that knows how to communicate well with each other and respect themselves and others are more likely to create a corporate culture that will produce greater results than one that does not.
