Today’s clinicians are increasingly required to submit consistent, efficient treatment plans for clients’ presenting problems—but what these plans actually look like hasn’t been as clearly defined. If you’ve been wondering what, exactly, comprises such a plan or have searched for resources on the empirically supported treatments on which these plans are based, you’ll find answers in this new video with Drs. Timothy Bruce and Arthur Jongsma. Here, the two experts tell you everything you need to know about building treatment plans that pass muster with funding sources and serve as a valuable resource for supporting clients with anger control problems.
Bruce and Jongsma outline several ways to integrate empirically supported treatments (ESTs) into anger control treatment, including a brief history of standout approaches. They offer a comprehensive overview of the clinically significant features of anger, and you’ll learn to create a six-step treatment plan based on proven interventions. Clinical vignettes feature relaxation training, psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, skills training (including assertive communication), and live practice. In addition to all this, you’ll learn about other common approaches to treatment, as well as relapse prevention.
If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of evidence-based treatment planning and the empirically supported interventions that are essential to include, you won’t want to miss this information-packed video.
By watching this video, you will:
- Understand the clinically significant features of anger that correlate to particular DSM diagnoses.
- Learn to build a six-step treatment plan based on evidence-based ESTs.
- Gain tools for integrating empirically informed interventions into effective anger control treatment.
