This course presents theory, skills and approaches for managing one's own angry feelings and behaviours, and responding to anger in others. Angry, hostile or resistant feelings and behaviours are commonly generated in conflict situations. Topics such as anger triggers, self-management, defusing skills, the origins of personal expressions of anger and disengaging from angry encounters are explored. Emphasis is on self-awareness and skill development through small-group exercises.
