Gerry Dunne, Ph.D.

Anger and Conflict Management: Leader’s Guide offers conflict management advice to adults and teens in connection with its companion text for participants, Anger and Conflict Management: Personal Handbook. The techniques illustrated encourage users to turn their anger around to interact peacefully and productively with associates and family. Leaders learn how to conduct presentations, guide discussions, and help participants understand the purposes and pitfalls of anger and how to channel it into constructive and useful actions. The personal handbook is a guided journal with information, ideas, short stories, and questions for students to answer in writing, enabling them to examine their personal responses to life’s typical anger-provoking situations at home, work, school, and elsewhere.

These books are ideal for a wide variety of audiences including groups in corporations, social service agencies, schools, churches, and adults and teens who are required by juvenile and family courts to participate in anger management classes.

Dear Colleague

Welcome to the fulfilling challenge of teaching Anger and Conflict Management!

Whether you are an employed leader/trainer and will conduct the class as part of your job, or an independent contractor offering the class to various organizations for free or pay, I encourage you to follow this guide blended with your own creative contributions. The guide is geared to help participants derive maximum meaning from their text/guided journal, Anger and Conflict Management: Personal Handbook, in a lively, experiential and safe class atmosphere. Added to that, your unique personality and ideas will make the class come alive!

I developed this class over the latter part of 2002 and early 2003 while teaching it on a regular basis to one group after another as an independent contractor with the North (Clark) County Community Food Bank in Battle Ground, Washington where I live. The classes have been supported by a grant from Washington Mutual Foundation and are very well received. At this writing expansion to nearby communities is being planned. (More on this in the “Outreach” section, later.)

On these pages I offer some tips and ideas–ways to conduct and advertise the class that work well for me.

Primary Subject Area – Conflict Management

Adult, 64 pages, 8-1/2 x 11, paperback
