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 relative 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. These classes are now offered on the 1st. 3rd. and 4th Saturdays of each month. 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 or 2007.

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.

Anger and Stress in Casinos
Casino employees are often vulnerable to a range of physical and emotional problems. Employees who work in casinos are expected to always treat customers with respect, smiles and dignity. Shelly Field, who counts "100 Best Careers in Casinos and Casino Hotels" among the 20 books she has written, said the 24-hour go-go atmosphere found in casinos piles stress on workers. "In the casino business you always have to be `on,' and that adds to stress. Having to smile and be customer-service oriented on a constant basis becomes stressful in some instances," said Field. The primary goal is to keep customers in the casino happy in spite of their attitude or behavior. Customers may often be intoxicated or angry over gambling losses. Employees are expected to tolerate rude and often insulting behavior. This can lead to stress, depression, hypertension, heart disease and anger.
