Century Anger Management added to California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare

Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century

Provisional Rating

Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century currently has a provisional rating for the 60 days between: June 13, 2011 and August 12, 2011. If you would like to respond to the Scientific Rating, please submit feedback via the Contact Us page.

Brief Description

The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff. The Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century program has been reviewed by the CEBC in the area of: Anger Management (Adult), but lacks the necessary research evidence to be given either a Scientific Rating or a Child Welfare Relevance Rating.

• Child Welfare Outcome: Not Specified
• Types of Maltreatment: Physical Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Exposure to Domestic Violence
• Target Population: Adults who have anger control and/or communication problems. The program can also be used with adolescents.

Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century teaches eight essential tools of anger control to participants, usually in a class or group format. It is a highly structured 10-hour core program around the program’s workbook titled Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century. Usually, classes are held on a weekly basis for one hour each, although accelerated weekend intensive programs are offered.

All participants are provided with this workbook (separate workbooks are available for adults and adolescents) which provides many worksheets and questionnaires to personalize and apply the tools of anger control in their daily lives. Participants are also encouraged to practice the tools between sessions and then briefly share their progress or challenges with the rest of the class. A certificate is issued at the completion of the program. Graduates are invited to return to future classes for a free “tune-up,” if needed.

The goals of Anger Management for the Twenty-First Century are:

• To recognize and understand the nature and normalcy of anger as a hard-wired reaction for survival when triggered.
• To understand the high costs of inappropriate anger expression in today’s society.
• To learn that the emotion of anger is separate from the expression of anger.
• To respond to anger triggers in more appropriate ways.
• To learn the skill of assertive communication as an alternative to angry outbursts or suppression of appropriate angry feelings.
• To gain skills in empathy, emotional intelligence, stress management, forgiveness, and improving judgment and impulse control.

Why Choose Century Anger Management for Professional Anger Management Certification Training?

If you want to become certified to teach anger management classes, what are your choices of training programs? Actually, there are numerous "models" of anger management that work well- despite the claims of some that there is only one training model that works.

Some organizations warn that if consumers are trained by anyone else but them, they are not legitimate or credible. Wouldn't it seem ridiculous that only one program in the entire world could produce a well trained anger management provider? Of course not. Consumers should make their choice of anger management training by reviewing the program content, not marketing propaganda by other organizations. Clearly there is room for various models of anger management intervention, just as there is room for varies models of psychotherapy, medicine and other interventions.

Actually, consumers should look around and pick a training model that best fits their particular clients. Following is a list of reasons why we believe the Century Anger Management Model should be strongly considered:

1. It was developed by two experienced psychotherapists, both with Ph.D. degrees, and both licensed by the state of California to practice. This is important because anger management involves an array of clinical skills, both in assessment and practice. The 40-hour training program they developed includes many modules based on their research, education, and training. This ensures the best possible background for those doing anger management individually or in classes or groups.

2. Century Anger Management is very user-friendly. We will support you during your training and after you have been certified. We answer all emails and all phone calls. We value our providers and do everything we can to keep providers current in our model of anger management. Our certification is valid for two years- with very inexpensive continuing education after that.

3. We have now trained hundreds of providers in California and elsewhere. While we can't claim that we are the biggest anger management training company yet, we are growing and we try harder. Our model is used by many large organizations such as the Salvation Army, numerous Probation Departments, military installations, and County Mental Health Systems, and approved by the CA State Board of Corrections to train probation, parole and correctional officers.

4. We offer two ways you can become certified - through Live Training or through our new home-study program. This makes it flexible and convenient for both local people and people across the country who can benefit from our model without having to fly to California to be trained.

5. Unlike most other training organizations in anger management, we offer many free resources to providers and consumers alike, to help people with their anger issues. This includes free newsletters, podcasts, articles, and other resource materials.

Century Anger Management Model Implemented in all California State Prisons

After two full days of live content training and 24 hours of online classes,  the Orange County Department of Education through the California State Department of Corrections, was taught the Century Anger Management model of intervention.  This model will be used in a pilot program to teach inmates throughout all California’s 33 prisons skills to better manage and control their anger though the use of weekly anger management classes.  The use of this model is a major step in our continued effort to establish the legitimacy and credibility of a program that has shown to be powerful and effective.  These inmates will be tracked and the success of the interventions will also be tracked and studied.  This data, which should be available in about year, will be one of the first empirically validated anger management programs to come out of the California state correctional system.  “We are very excited about this relationship with the DOC and the OCDE”, states, Dr. Novick, co-founder of Century Anger Management.

If this pilot program deems successful it may be adopted across other states throughout the nation.  The Century Anger Management model utilizes the “8 Tools of Anger Control”.  It is delivered using client workbooks, DVD’s, assessments, cognitive homework assignments between sessions, and other ancillary materials.  It can be used in a variety of settings including private practices, agencies, hospitals, churches and synogagues, as well as the penal system.
