Problematic anger can have a significant impact on job performance and the workplace, particularly in high-risk occupations such as police, firefighters, and the military. 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 such as risk-taking, irritability, hypervigilance, and chronic physiological activation. Anger is examined within individual and team contexts, and treatments and interventions, including cognitive bias modification, are presented to help clinicians and practitioners put these insights to practical use.
