Dr. Barris recommends a type of treatment for anger management closely related to cognitive behavior therapy. He describes his theories on the causes of anger and presents his model of treatment.

Overview to Domestic Violence - Rochelle Hanson, Ph.D.

Dr. Hanson defines domestic violence as involving a broad spectrum of abusive behavior and discusses the phases in the cycle of violence.
