PSY-5160D: Therapeutic Issues in Managing Traumatic Stress and Anger

Everyday stress and anger are often seen as the root of many frequently expressed human emotions, yet our primary socializing institutions (families, schools, religious institutions) provide very little instruction to manage them effectively. As a result, Anger Management Training is increasingly being used by the courts, medical, legal and other corporate disciplinary committees, and by media consultants to remediate aggressive behavior exhibited while driving the highways, in the workplace and on the public airways. As stress levels rise in these times of economic uncertainty, we know that there is even more of an impact on the severity of psychological impairment and functioning. Moreover, there is evidence that clinicians should be prepared to see a growing number of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) cases resulting from the trauma associated with war zone deployment, as well as natural disasters, terror, motor vehicle accidents and sexual assault.
