Synopsis: Some days it appears that the world has gone mad. Sensationalized reports of gang violence, school shootings, workplace violence, and riots inundate our news, and expressed anger at individuals, groups, and the system permeates social media. Where does this come from and, more importantly, what can we do about anger both personally and professionally? In this workshop, the presenter will explore the etiology of anger by examining the impact of personal and social experiences (including trauma) on individuals and groups. The physiology of anger will be explored as will culturally mediated differences in anger expression. The ethical challenges in providing effective clinical care when confronted with angry clients, angry groups, angry co-workers, and angry bosses will be examined. The positive use of the power of anger to respond to social justice needs impacting individuals and groups will be addressed. Finally, we will work to develop a personal framework to allow us to respond both ethically and effectively when anger is self-identified.
