"OK, I'm not using (or drinking) anymore, but what do I do with my
anger?" If a client finds no answers to this question, relapse is
likely, fear will continue to poison the family atmosphere, and
therapeutic gains will be jeopardized. Now, with this book in hand,
counselors and therapists can help the recovering alcoholic or
addict develop skills to manage anger and avoid outbursts of
aggression or violence. Intended primarily for counselors working
with alcoholics, addicts, and their families in chemical dependency
treatment settings, clinics, or private practice, as well as for
those treating family violence, this book elucidates the complex
relationships among anger, aggression, and chemical abuse. Early
chapters present models of normal anger, anger avoidance, and
chronic anger. The authors describe how both anger avoidance and
chronic anger are related to chemical use patterns, the effects
upon family members, and how change can be initiated. A brief
device for assessing chronic anger and its functions is included.
General principles for treating anger problems, as well as specific
applications of these principles in a chemical dependency
treatment, are presented. Special attention is given to the
challenges of anger management with the chronically angry. In
addition, selected aspects of anger and aggression, including
explosiveness, anger-inducing thought patterns, and long-term
resentments, are covered. Anger and aggression reverberate within
the family and immediate environment. Strategies are included here
for helping affected family members live with an angry (and perhaps
addicted) person, for working with angry couples, and for treatment
of adult children from homesdominated by anger and addiction. The
authors also address the need to treat self-directed and
self-destructive anger. Finally, they look at professional anger
issues, since many counselors have problems with excessive anger or
anger avoidance, in both their professional and their person
