Anger Management Classes for Traumatic Brain Injury
A study published in The Archives of Physical and Medical Rehabilitation demonstrates that you can literally retrain your brain.
The anger management classes trained the patients in skills to control their own anger and family members behavior modification principles. The treatment program reduced the frequency of anger management outbursts and, in one case, increased the social participation by the patient immediately after treatment and at one-month and three-month follow-up assessments. The importance of having key family members involved in anger management classes for brain injured patients is underscored, particularly when cognitive impairment limits patients' ability to benefit from and to retain the content of psychotherapy.
