Leading Involuntary Anger Management Groups

CONTEXT FOR INVOLUNTARY ANGER MANAGEMENT GROUPS:

Most of the people in the group do not come because they think they have an anger problem.

They are there because someone else, someone who has the power to enforce their being
there, thinks they have an anger problem.

PURPOSE FOR INVOLUNTARY ANGER MANAGEMENT GROUPS:

• For the members to be aware of the many ways they express their anger….both
  by looking back into the recent past and in the present.
• For the members to be aware that many times they feel anger and do not express
  it.
• For members to get clear about how to keep from expressing anger when they
  feel it.
• For members to imagine scenes in the future and see themselves doing something
  positive.
• For members to adopt the goal of having anger and not expressing it to improve
  impulse control. A = Abstain
