Anger Management Home Study CD

You must take an anger management course. That’s the reality. But can you afford to miss work for a week or more? Not many people can, which is why Anderson & Anderson now offers its ground-breaking anger management course on CD.

The Anger Management Home Study CD allows you to participate at your own pace from home, eliminating the need to take valuable time away from your job. Lost wages, skyrocketing gas prices, and hotel costs make attending anger management courses costly. Why not do it from home?

Our home study anger management course offers the same material presented in our live courses. In addition to the CDs, this easy to use format comes with a client workbook, Gaining Control of Ourselves, and the Tips for Anger Management booklet. That’s three powerful resources bundled for your convenience.

After completing the home study course, complete the enclosed exam and return it in the envelope provided. We will then score your exam and send you a Certificate of Completion.

Our Certificate of Completion is widely recognized and approved by courts, Human Resource Managers, probation and parole department nationwide. This home study course is also accepted by government agencies and Child Protective Services Departments for mandated clients.

Why spend your valuable time and money if you don’t have to? Save both by using our home study CDs.

Cost: $250.00

Disclaimer: This CD-ROM course is not a substitution for Executive Coaching for Physicians and does not meet the standards of the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).

This course is also popular with Law Enforcement staff

Accelerated Anger Management Class

This 8 hour course is designed to meet the needs of clients who wish to avoid attending classes on a weekly basis. Rather than attending weekly classes, it is now possible to enroll, complete the assessment and attend this course until the required number of classes have been completed.

Cost: Enrollment & Assessment $90 + $50 per hour. VISA or MASTERCARD Accepted

  • An Open Letter to JCAHO, Hospital H.R. Managers/Administrators

    As the Nation’s largest provider of Executive Coaching/Anger Management for Physicians, Anderson & Anderson is committed to advocating for the Best Practices in providing mandated or volunteer services for “disruptive physicians”. With this goal in mind, we would like to bring to your attention an evasive tactic currently being used by some physicians to avoid enrollment in Coaching Programs designed exclusively for “disruptive physicians”.

    Some physicians are enrolling in on-line or Home Study Classes, which are presented in a Self-Help format unrelated to Medical Professionals or Health Care Organizations. These classes are in no way consistent with JCAHO standards and should not be accepted.

    The two legitimate providers of intervention for “disruptive physicians” are: Management for Healthcare Professionals at the University of San Diego School of Medicine, and Anderson & Anderson®.

    The Anderson & Anderson class is available at our Brentwood office or on-site anywhere in the United States. This class is consistent with the new Joint Commission requirements for abusive physicians. The Anderson & Anderson® Anger Management/Executive Coaching program is listed in the Directory of Physician Assessment And Remedial Education Programs, Federation of State Medical Boards.

  • Continuing Education for Anderson & Anderson Providers

    In order to maintain your status as an Anderson & Anderson Certified Anger Management Provider, it is necessary that you complete 16 hours per year of continuing education through Anderson & Anderson.

    We now have two new courses. One has been structured around our popular DVD, “Gaining Control of Ourselves”. This DVD contains a powerful, comprehensive review of the Conover Assessment, as well as nine detailed lessons from the client workbook and the Conover Assessment. The information contained on this DVD will enhance the facilitator’s ability to convincingly teach each lesson in the Anderson & Anderson Curriculum.

    "A Day Away From Stress" is our latest DVD for use with our curriculum. This DVD is one of the most effective tools for teaching stress management for individual coaching as well as anger management groups.

    "Session One" features anger management guru, George Anderson. It is a demonstration of how an Anderson & Anderson anger management group is facilitated. This DVD is excellent for use with new clients at intake, as well as a review for facilitators and marketing purposes.

    Each of these DVDs will come with questions that must be answered by each provider and returned to Anderson & Anderson for the continuing education certificate. Each DVD will count for 8 ceus.

    The Cost: $280 per Continuing Education DVD. Each DVD certifies up to four facilitators for continuing education credits (8).

    These DVDs can be purchased through our on-line store or by contacting our office at 310-207-3591.

  • My Experience with George Anderson, World Renowned Provider of Anger Management

    I am a retired physician who decided to enter the teaching world and required extensive training and certification in Anger Management. After a lengthy search for sources for this training, I chose Anderson and Anderson’s program because Professor George Anderson, a former member of the staff of UCLA, is the foremost leader and world-renowned expert and writer in Anger Management.

    Last week I attended the Certification and Training Workshop in Anger Management presented by Professor Anderson in Oakland, California. Several students and guests were in attendance and represented Las Vegas, Nevada, Cleveland, Ohio, Portland, Oregon, Fairbanks, Alaska as well as Northern California and locally, Oakland and San Jose, California. By profession, the attendees included physicians, a psychologist, a college professor and several drug and rehabilitation counselors.

    The course was presented and taught by Professor Anderson. The workshop training was for three days, eight hours each and the syllabus included Adolescent and Adult Anger Management as well as Executive Coaching. Included in the course was instruction and training in both short and long form Conover Assessment Testing, a well-known assessment program. Several published books by George Anderson are used in this course: CONTROLLING OURSELVES (2003), GAINING CONTROL OF OURSELVES (2005), A Suggested Guide for Anger Management/Facilitator’s GUIDE (2007) and EXECUTIVE COACHING.

    Professor Anderson’s didactic teaching methods include not only lectures and personal observations and group discussion, but also DVD presentations of the subject matter, which was presented in an understandable, concise and intelligent way. Time was available for question and answers as well extensive discussion.

    The presentation of this course was on an extremely high level and was the equivalent to that of any college or medical school course I have ever taken.

  • Branding your Anger Management Practice

    Q. What is branding?

    A. Simply put, a brand is a promise. By identifying and authenticating a product or service, branding delivers a pledge of satisfaction and quality. In the case of Anderson & Anderson, the pledge is that all providers 1) have completed 40 hours of training in the Anderson & Anderson curriculum, 2) use the Conover Assessment and the Anderson & Anderson client workbooks, and 3) subscribe to the latest developments in the field of anger management by completing 16 hours of continuing education annually.

    The Conover Anger Management assessment determines a client’s level of functioning in recognizing and managing anger and stress, level of assertive communication, and the degree of emotional intelligence. The Anderson & Anderson curriculum is focused on skills to enhance functioning in these four areas: anger management, stress management, communication and emotional intelligence.

    Q. Why is branding important?

    A. It prevents the danger of being anonymous. Branding provides answers to a lot of clients’ questions, such as:
    • Who are you?
    • What do you sell?
    • How are you different from those offering similar services?
    • Why are you better than your competitors?
    • Why should I enroll in your program?

    A good brand will:
    • Deliver your message clearly
    • Confirms your credibility
    • Connects your target prospects emotionally
    • Motivates the potential client
    • Solidify User Loyalty
    • Branding will create a market advantage
    • Branding will open doors that were formerly closed
    • Branding will make us all more successful

    Q. How can I benefit from supporting the Anderson & Anderson Brand?

    A. Begin by asking yourself why you decided to become an Anderson & Anderson Provider. It is impossible for anyone other than you to answer this question. Here are some possible answers:

    1.  I was instructed to do so by my employer.
    2.  Anderson & Anderson seem to dominate the internet.
    3.  I was impressed with the Anderson & Anderson anger management curriculum.
    4.  It was recommended by a person I respect.
    5.  I did it in order to be credible as a professional anger management provider.
    6.  It is the most recognized model in Canada.
    7.  Using a model that is so well-known and tested through use appealed to me.
    8.  I discovered that the only way to receive court referrals was to use this curriculum.
    9.  I have not been able to make my own model as popular, so I decided to just go with the best known model.
    10.  When I saw the Postal Service, all California Prisons, major companies, Human Resource Managers and Doctors accept this model; I was convinced that it was the way to go.
    11.  It is the most trusted curriculum available
    12.  I wanted to be part of an international community of Anger Management providers
    13.  I wanted instant internet presence
    14.  To get access to special offers and discounts (such as the bulk discount on Marketing DVDs
    15.  The training comes from a team with years of Practical Experience in the field of anger management.
    16.  I wanted the opportunity to purchase a Licensing Agreement.

    Amazon.com is a great case study of a brand developed through affiliate networks. (Equivalent to providers) Amazon benefits and so does its thousands of affiliates who make income from selling products on their websites. Each Anderson & Anderson provider must determine for him or herself if being on the Anderson Provider List and associated blogs and websites is worth the investment.

    For some, it may be best to consider developing your own competing model. For others, we ask that you join us in increasing the international market share of anger management/executive coaching through consistent branding of this unique model.

    What is expected of each provider?

    Each provider should have a website. A clear and unmistakable explanation of the Anderson & Anderson curriculum must be provided on each website. Some examples are listed below:

    http://www.angerxchange.com
    http://www.angerincontrol.com
    http://www.angerhurts.com
    http://www.ami-tx.com
    http://www.angermanagementsystems.com
    http://www.accordsystem.com
    http://www.marinangermanagement.com

    The Conover Assessment and the Anderson & Anderson client workbooks must be used for each client.

    All training/recertification requirements must be kept current. Monthly provider listing fees must be kept current.

    All providers are expected to market their own websites as well as the entire provider network.

    Regardless of why you've chosen to become an Anderson & Anderson certified provider, you have become associated with its brand. The more you help that brand to grow, the more it will benefit your business.

  • Look Back at Anger

    From seething stars to peeved politicians, everyone’s doing anger management. Ariel Leve finds out why it’s all the rage

    In the colossal list of things wrong with me, being an angry person has never ranked high. I am impatient, but I don’t lose my temper. I am volatile, but I don’t hit people. I get angry over something I have little control over, but quickly the anger turns into frustration. I’ll grind my teeth at night or develop a pain in my stomach, which means the frustration is immediately sidelined by worry that I might have given myself an ulcer. But then I remember I can’t afford to have an ulcer, so I am reminded that whatever I’m upset about isn’t worth it, and this, for reasons only a therapist could explain, is my form of anger management.

    George Anderson has a different method. A Harvard-trained psychotherapist turned entrepreneur, he virtually invented the industry of anger management. Based in California, his clients include Hollywood studios that send their angry stars and executives to him, the Department of Defense and even the vice-president’s old company, Halliburton.

    Anger is a booming business. Soon Anderson will begin selling franchises abroad. So why now? Anger has been around since the beginning of time, but behaviour that was once tolerated isn’t any more, by individuals, employers, courts and legislators.

  • A Letter to Anderson & Anderson Certified Providers

    RE: Continuing education requirement

    Dear provider,

    Just a reminder: to remain on Anderson & Anderson’s certified provider list, there is a requirement of 16 hours of continuing education each year, specific to the field of anger management.

    Session One, the most popular of our new DVDs, is a convenient way to complete your required 16 hour continuing education. This DVD - available in the Anderson & Anderson On-Line Store - portrays an anger management group session conducted by George Anderson, demonstrating proper use of the Anderson & Anderson model.

    You will be required to view the DVD and answer a series of question related to its contents. Once you return the answer sheet to Anderson & Anderson, you will receive your continued education certification for 2006.

    This DVD is also excellent for use in marketing, group discussions, and orienting new members to your group.

    -- George Anderson
