Abstract
This dissertation describes a proposed protocol for a brief solution-focused group treatment model for treating "expressed externalized anger". Such an approach postulates that positive and lasting change can come about in a relatively brief period of time by using a solution-focused rather than a deficits-focused approach. Without minimizing or diminishing the negative and detrimental consequences of maladaptive anger expression, a solution-focused approach aims at using an empowering approach to hold group members responsible for recognizing and utilizing solutions to their difficulties in appropriately managing their anger. This proposed protocol includes a complete solution-focused treatment approach with a stage by stage description of the group process as well as the interventions and techniques specific to each of these stages.
