Anger at Work
Prevention, Intervention, and Treatment in High-Risk OccupationsThis book reveals the impact of problematic anger on job performance and in the workplace, with a particular focus on police, firefighters, and the military. Problematic anger can cause major disruptions in the workplace. It negatively influences individual performance, and the health and well-being of entire organizations. This is a serious problem in high-risk occupations, where the consequences of prolonged, unhealthy anger can be devastating. This book aims to help researchers and practitioners understand unhealthy, unproductive anger, and its links to problems such as depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD. Contributors examine new and useful conceptual frameworks such as moral injury, and risk factors including risk-taking, irritability, hypervigilance, and chronic physiological activation. Anger is examined within individual and team contexts. Treatments and interventions, including cognitive bias modification, are presented to help clinicians and practitioners put these insights to practical use.ISBN: 9781433833076, 1433833077
