Anger Management: SELF-PACED ONLINE

3 Jan 2021 - 31 Dec 2025

Presenter: Jennifer Ross, PhD, MFT

Anger is a fundamental human emotion that rarely appears alone.  How we think and feel about anger, as well as how we express and respond to it, are the critical issues at hand.  If we are to address one emotion, we are better served by addressing all of them and figuring out what they mean to our clients and how they help clients define and live productive lives.  This workshop will combine current research with the basics to help behavioral health professionals better understand their clients’ emotional processes, and work more effectively to help clients understand, identify, and make behavioral choices around their experiences of emotions, with anger as a central focus.  By the end of this training, participants will: Be able to identify a range of human emotions and their adaptive functions; Develop an understanding of emotions and their relationship to violence, thus identifying various risk factors for violence; Develop an cursory knowledge of other potential causes of violence (e.g., substance use and medical conditions); Learn about different ways to assess for violence, including biopsychosocial information as well as formal assessment instruments; and Develop a range of skills and knowledge related to deescalating and treating anger.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Identify and Understand Human Emotions and Their Adaptive Functions: Participants will be able to recognize a range of human emotions, including anger, and understand their adaptive functions in the context of behavioral health and client interactions.

  • Understand the Relationship Between Emotions and Violence: Participants will develop an understanding of how emotions, particularly anger, are linked to violence and will be able to identify various risk factors that contribute to violent behavior.

  • Assess and Address Anger and Violence in Clients: Participants will gain knowledge in assessing for violence using biopsychosocial information and formal assessment tools, while developing skills to effectively deescalate and treat anger in clients.
