Teen Anger Management Education: Implementation Guidelines for Counselors

Teen Anger Management Education (TAME) is for youth aged 12 to 17 who need to gain the tools for navigating the everyday minefields of emotional adversities, triggering events and circumstances, and interpersonal provocations.

Complete with mindfulness activities, role plays, exercises, discussion prompts, worksheets, fidelity checklists, recommendations, and Hassle Logs, TAME is an indispensable resource for mental health professionals, educators, and counselors alike.

Meticulously outlined in a session-by-session protocol, TAME presents the developed program in a reader-friendly and instructional manner. Dr. Eva L. Feindler and Dr. Gina Sita-Molz take the conversation through the program’s foundations into an extensive review of assessment measures and strategies, then set the stage for planning and successfully administering the 12-week program, before finishing with an evaluation of TAME implementation in a real-world setting.
