Anger and Indigenous Men

Understanding and responding to violent behaviour

Andrew Day, Martin Nakata & Kevin Howells, eds

This book is for social work and criminal justice practitioners who wish to develop culturally appropriate and effective programs for reducing anger-related violence perpetrated by Indigenous men. It places cultural context at the heart of any intervention, broadening the focus from problematic behaviour to a more holistic notion of well-being.
The book is structured in three parts.
Part 1 explores Indigenous perspectives on anger and violence, on both sociological and psychological levels. The different views presented show there is no single “cause” but provide contexts for understanding an individual’s anger.
Part 2 outlines methodologies and processes for collecting meaningful data on anger and Indigenous men.
Part 3 presents ideas for developing and delivering anger management programs that meet the needs of Indigenous men:
how to adapt existing programs in culturally appropriate ways, specific needs of the staff delivering the programs, a pedagogical framework and sample session plans, and future directions for program development and evaluation
The contributors include psychologists, counsellors, educationalists and academics from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous backgrounds.

Exploring Feelings: Anger

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to Manage Anger

Tony Attwood

Designed to be highly structured, interesting and successful in encouraging the cognitive control of emotions. Every participating child has a workbook for the six two-hour sessions that includes activities and information to explore the specific feelings of being happy, relaxed, anxious or angry. At the end of each session, a project is explained to the child, which is to be completed before the next session. At the start of the next session the project is discussed with the person implementing the program or the group of participants using the program. The Exploring Feelings program is designed to explore the mental world from a scientific perspective. Originally designed for small groups of two to five children 9 and 12 years, with two adults conducting the program, it can easily be modified so that it can be used with just one child. The activities can also be modified to be age appropriate for an adolescent or adult.
Intended for children with Asperger’s syndrome, the program can be equally applied to children with High Functioning Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified (PDDNOS). The author also designed the program so that it does not have to be implemented by a qualified psychologist. A teacher, speech pathologist, occupational therapist or parent could implement the program without having training in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

Young readers learn that violence is not acceptable and there are better, safer, more positive ways to resolve conflicts. They also discover what to do when people around them are angry, how to get help, and how to locate other resources (books, hotlines, school groups) when they need more support.
