Treatment of Trauma-Related Anger in OEF/OIF/OND Veterans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cognitive Behavioral Intervention and Supportive Intervention for Anger Problems. Completed, enrolled 112 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Excessive and poorly controlled anger is one of the most common problems experienced by war Veterans. The consequences can be severe, including increased risk for divorce, domestic violence, job loss and instability, and other serious impairments in family, social, and occupational functioning. Availability of effective treatments is critical to reducing the adverse effects of anger in Veterans. The investigators propose to conduct a controlled study to determine whether a cognitive behavior treatment that has been adapted for treating anger problems in Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan results in improved outcomes compared to a supportive therapy. Results will be examined for improvement in anger, functioning, and quality of life at end of 12 weekly sessions, and at 3 and 6 months following treatment.
