Anger In The News

Distance Learning is Wave of Future

Many universities are now offering students distance learning programs which greatly benefit students who may live in areas quite geographically distant. Anger Management is following the same societal trend, with new online programs being produced by providers across the country. As is true in any new industry, quality control is an issue, so "buyer beware" seems to be a good motto to follow. Century Anger Management takes pride in having developed on online program which is technically state-of-the-art and contains exactly the same material that we use in our local classes. This material has been approved by the Orange County Probation Department for use in one of our local programs; the Orange County Probation department is currently reviewing our online program also for approval.

Our 8-tool model of anger management which is contained in the online program is also approved by the California Department of Corrections for the training of probation and parole officers. Our model of anger management is now used across the nation, from Alaska to Florida and in some other countries such as the Bahamas, Cuba, Malaysia and China. It is the model of choice for many probation departments, social service agencies, church anger management programs, the Salvation Army, and private companies. 

We predict that other probation departments and courts across the land will develop criteria for approval of  online programs, as the need is so great.   When that happens, the Century Anger Management program (marketed as angercoachonline.com and angerclassonline.com) will be poised to apply for approval and continue to provide leadership in this new information-technology world. 

There are providers out there who feel that onlines programs should not be approved. We could not disagree more.  Quality and professionally produced online anger management programs are the wave of the future and will provide another vehicle for anger control in our world which ultimately will benefit all of society.

Who Exactly Is Angry?

New research uses longitudinal evidence to help understand anger and distinguish between people for whom anger is an occasional experience – and therefore quite normal – and those for whom it is more persistent.

In ESRC's new report Seven Deadly Sins, published to launch Social Science Week 2005, Dr Eirini Flouri and Professor Heather Joshi analyse data from the British birth cohort studies, which have recorded anger in both childhood and adulthood for people born in a week in 1958 (the National Child Development Study) and 1970 (the British Cohort Study).

Among the findings is this one:

Thirty-somethings with no partner are more likely to report angry feelings than people with partners.

Some tips for dealing with anger from the American Psychological Association:

"Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm; breathing from your chest won't relax you. Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as "relax" or "take it easy." Use imagery.

Change the way you think. When you're angry, your thinking can become exaggerated. Try replacing these thoughts with more rational ones."
