- 1. Novaco (1975) suggested that thought processes trigger emotional arousal, which then leads to aggressive or criminal acts.
- 2. In such individuals, anger arises more quickly.
- 3. Anger management aims to identify the signs which trigger anger, and learn techniques to calm down and deal with a situation more positively, without the need to resort to violence.
- There are three stages
- 1. Cognitive preparation
- Offender reflects on past experiences and actions to identify what triggers their anger and how they interpret situations.
- They are taught to try to interpret such situations differently.
- 2. Skill acquisition
- Offenders are taught a range of techniques to help them deal with anger and to approach anger-triggering situations differently
- They may include positive self-talk, communicating more effectively, and relaxation techniques.
- 3. Application practice
- Offenders practise their skills through techniques such as role play, where previous anger-inducing situations are re-enacted by the therapist and offender, in order to use more rational and calm responses.
- 1. Cognitive preparation
