New Anger Management Classes for Facilitators

In order to be competent as a psychotherapist or counselor, it is a requirement that each clinician has an exposure to counseling or psychotherapist as a patient or client. This requirement is designed to assist each provider in resolving personal issues in his or her own life relating to interpersonal and intrapsychic conflicts.

During recent trainings in Santa Monica, San Jose, and Oakland, California, when participants were asked for feedback and/or recommendations regarding the Anderson & Anderson Anger Management Certification, the following suggestions were made:

1. All future and present providers should complete the Conover Assessment and a minimum of 8 hours of anger management intervention in an approved anger management program. This recommendation has been accepted and is already being implemented. Gino Inesi, an Anderson & Anderson provider for San Francisco is the first provider to include a new facilitator in one of his groups. George Anderson will conduct a three hour accelerated class for interested providers on November 12 in our Brentwood office. The cost to participants will be discounted and will serve as 8 of the required 16 hours of the yearly continuing education requirement for 2006.

2. A second recommendation was made for new Executive Coaches to pair with another provider for a ten hour experience as a recipient and provider of Coaching. The EQ Map and the Conover Assessment as well as the accompanying intervention material will be used in this experience training. New coaches who wish to have Anderson & Anderson faculty provide this experience can do so by contacting our Brentwood office.
