Summary of contents

Many pupils have trouble in controlling their strong feelings and in managing conflict in both school and home settings. This programme aims to help young people:
  • avoid or manage situations of conflict
  • understand that they can create change
  • realise that it is possible to resolve difficulties.

In this thoughtful approach to anger management, the authors suggest a teaching and learning model and use ‘story’ as the focus of pupil engagement. During the 10-session programme, participants will:

  • understand the causes of anger in a variety of situations
  • learn about physiological and behavioural aspects of anger
  • rehearse coping strategies
  • plan positive responses to provocative situations. 
Controlling Anger: A Solution-focused Approach for Young People draws on topics particularly suitable for teens and young adults, and uses newspaper reports on subjects such as road rage, racist incidents, ‘happy slapping’ and street fights.
