Research has consistently shown that Veterans with PTSD are more likely to experience higher levels of anger and commit aggressive acts compared to Veterans without PTSD. Given the significant negative impact that anger and aggression can have on the lives of Veterans, their families, and society at large, there is a great need to examine novel interventions that could decrease anger and aggression risk with this population. Mindfulness may be one such technique, given its effectiveness in assisting individuals in regulating difficult emotions and in decreasing physiological reactivity, which have both been implicated in PTSD and aggression perpetration. Findings showing that a mindfulness intervention is effective in reducing anger and aggressive behavior would be relevant for Veterans with PTSD experiencing such difficulties and would help prevent the detrimental consequences that can come from anger and aggression among these individuals.
Problematic anger is a strong predictor of failed attempts at smoking cessation. The investigators proposed study seeks to evaluate whether a novel 8-session computerized anger-reduction treatment improves quit rates among smokers. Smokers with elevated trait anger will be administered transdermal nicotine patch therapy and either anger-reduction treatment or a control intervention. They will be assessed throughout treatment and up until three months after a scheduled mid- treatment quit date. The investigators propose to test whether, compared to the control condition, the anger-reduction treatment will lead to: 1) greater reductions in anger and 2) greater abstinence rates at post-cessation and at follow-up assessments. The investigators will also test whether changes in anger-related symptoms account for group differences in abstinence rates.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) robustly predicts anger and aggression, and U.S. Iraq/Afghanistan-era combat Veterans report that treatment for anger and aggression is among their top priorities. PTSD-related anger and aggression are associated with profound functional impairments, yet to date there are no empirically-supported treatments for Veterans with PTSD and aggression. Effective group treatment programs could improve functioning and facilitate community reintegration for these Veterans. Given that anger impedes progress in treatment of PTSD symptoms, group anger treatment could also improve Veterans' capacity to benefit from individually-administered empirically-supported therapy for PTSD such as prolonged exposure or cognitive processing therapy.
The immediate objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of Remote Exercises for Learning Anger and Excitation Management (RELAX). The application is a remote, technology- enabled, anger treatment and management system based on current evidence-based CBT interventions. The project's objective was to show that RELAX (1) enables the practice of anger management strategies remotely through mobile phone interfaces; (2) integrates with evidence-based treatments through the implementation of an existing CBT anger management course; (3) provides information, direction, and feedback through physiological sensors and signal analysis; and (4) supports communication and direction by the therapist through a web-based therapist interface.
The general aim of the proposed pilot study is to evaluate the the efficacy of mind-body bridging (MBB) for anger management compared with the Real Deal anger management program, in helping adolescents control or reduce their anger.
This is a randomized controlled study of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for disruptive behavior such as irritability, anger and aggression in children and adolescents. CBT will be compared to Supportive Psychotherapy (SPT) and participants of this study will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to receive CBT or SPT. Participants will be also asked to complete functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electrophysiological (EEG) tasks (recordings/images of brain activity) before and after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a computerized intervention designed to reduce anger-provoking interpretation biases will reduce suicide risk among individuals with elevated levels of trait anger.
This study will measure the effects of biofeedback supported cognitive behavioral therapy (BF-CBT) and group physiotherapy intervention in victims of torture and massive violence in Kosovo. The investigators aim to restore physical and psychosocial functioning of the victims of torture and massive violence with available rehabilitation practice and integrate them into the community. It is also our objective to build local knowledge and expertise to apply measurement principles and CBT methods in the Balkan region.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding an interactive biofeedback video game to anger control cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective and feasible treatment.
