A Conversation About… Anger and Mental Health: Treating Anger

Mental Health Professionals' Network Episode 64

How can practitioners support individuals to reduce the impact of problematic anger?

In the final episode of this three-part series, Clinical Psychologists Mark Creamer and Dr Tony McHugh are joined by Mental Health Social Worker, Michelle Birkic, to discuss current approaches to treatment for clients struggling with anger. 

During their conversation they emphasise the importance of practitioners being agile and curious when working collaboratively with clients, and share the range of strategies they use in treatment. Drawing on research and their clinical practice, they discuss predictors of treatment success and what the future of anger treatment should look like in order to improve care.
