Uncontrollable anger is a common problem for people with acquired brain injury (ABI). Little is known about how to properly manage this kind of anger, since it can result from both neuropsychological and psychological factors associated with the brain damage. Moreover, the outcome research on anger treatments is lacking. This paper is an examination of the causes of anger problems in this population, as well as a review of the basic therapeutic techniques typically used to treat anger with suggested alterations for their implementation with people with ABI. This literature will be integrated into a model that can be useful for helping people with ABI to handle their anger in an appropriate fashion. Finally, this paper will discuss the advantages of conducting anger management in a group format for people with ABI.
