Consumer Alert

As the popularity of the Anderson & Anderson anger management model increases, so does the scams used by unscrupulous providers. It has been brought to our attention that some providers who claim to use the Anderson & Anderson model do not. Others are illegally copying our client workbooks.

All legitimate providers of anger management using the Anderson & Anderson curriculum must provide an assessment at intake using the Conover Assessment Program. This assessment is designed to determine the clients’ level of functioning in managing anger, stress, styles of communication and emotional intelligence. Following the assessment, individual or group sessions must use client workbooks for adolescents or adults. The two Anderson & Anderson workbooks are Controlling Ourselves and Gaining Controlling of Ourselves".

If you are aware, or suspect, that anyone is claiming to be a certified Anderson & Anderson Anger Management Facilitator but does not use our copyrighted material, please contact Rasheed Ahmed at our office at 310-207-3591. We are willing to give a free anger management DVD class to anyone who assists us in maintaining the integrity of our model.
