This volume is a practical, easy-to-read teaching guide designed for mental health professionals working with angry, chronically relapsing alcoholics and addicts. Based on clinical observations and practice wisdom, Anger and Addiction provides step-by-step instructions for developing an anger management-relapse prevention training program. The author describes the anger-relapse cycle, identifies dynamics perpetuating its existence, and introduces her three stage model of intervention successfully applied with hundreds of clients since its inception in 1989. Case studies, analogies, examples, and sample worksheets are included for immediate application by clinicians in their own programs and clinics. The final chapter offers suggestions for modifying the program when time limitations, client dynamics, or agency mandates prevent its full application. Written in a lively, no-nonsense style, Anger and Addiction is an excellent resource for busy practitioners.
