This manual was designed for use by qualified substance abuse and mental health clinicians. The manual describes a 12-week cognitive behavioral anger management group treatment. Each of the 12 90-minute weekly sessions is described in detail with specific instructions for group leaders, tables and figures that illustrate the key conceptual components of the treatment, and homework assignments for the group participants. An accompanying Participant Workbook is available (see Anger Management for Substance Abuse and Mental Health Clients: Participant Workbook, Reilly, Shopshire, Durazzo, & Campbell, 2002) and should be used in conjunction with this manual to enable the participants to better learn, practice, and integrate the treatment strategies presented in the group sessions.
You can order this curriculum for free through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
That’s great news. I’m looking forward to hearing about your experience with it. Please consider sharing any aspects of your process in the PROS TALKS! forums as well.
Great thanks I will order this reading material from SAMHSA
