Self-referrals for Anger Management: A Trend Becomes A Reality

Over the last year, there has been reported a noticeable trend toward voluntary enrollment in anger management classes or coaching in contrast to mandated court or HR referrals. We can now state that this trend has now become a reality.

Traditionally, Anger Management has been seen as a resource mostly for individuals who have been mandated by Courts or Human Resource Managers to attend Anger Management courses. The new reality dramatically changes the client demographics of programs.

The new look of Anger Management clients:

Most new clients are college graduates who wish to improve their communication skills and or emotional intelligence;

Attorneys and Physicians are the dominant professional groups seeking Anger Management programs;

Women who are Managers, Supervisors or small business owners who describe themselves as stressed or burned out;

Mothers who are referred by their Pediatricians or Psychotherapists in relation to questionable discipline of their children;

Men who are aware of deficits in Interpersonal Relationships;

Women who suspect that their interpersonal skills are impediments to maintaining intimate relationships.

Another important change is the preference for individual coaching rather than attending small group classes.
