Such cases pose a range of challenges that are quite different from addressing the traditional mental health needs of those suffering from anxiety and depression. The morning session of this workshop provides an overview of how to conceptualize intervention with intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) cases\, while the afternoon session focuses on the treatment of dysregulated anger. This all-day workshop is highly interactive\, incorporating structured learning activities including case examples\, audio/video-recorded work samples\, small group exercises\, and “real”-plays. \nMORINING SESSION: Successful IPVA intervention requires a focus on a set of risk domains and thinking patterns that facilitate aggressive\, controlling\, and abusive behavior (beyond mental health symptoms and traditional irrational beliefs). Step-by-step guidelines will be provided for identifying specific IPVA relevant risk factors and treatment targets.  Interventions are then tailored to the particular person and situational context in which violence and abuse occurs. \nAFTERNOON SESSION: While anger is a frequent and universal human emotion\, it has received surprisingly little attention as a clinical problem. Practitioners commonly engage in unproductive conversations (e.g.\, clients venting about unfair actions of others) and struggle to identify clear treatment targets. In this session\, participants will practice assessing the key features of client anger reactions by applying a 6-stage Anger Episode Model Interview to understand how anger is experienced and expressed in the client’s real-life interactions. The analysis of anger episodes forms the groundwork for effective case formulation and collaboratively identifying relevant treatment goals. \nLearning Outcomes: \nUnderstand the range of violent and abusive behaviors committed by IPVA perpetrators \nLearn to focus IPVA intervention on critical risk domains influencing abusive patterns \nBecome proficient in identifying criminogenic thoughts and thinking styles that drive specific incidents of abusive behavior \nBecome skilled at analyzing key features of clients’ anger reactions according to a 6-stage sequential anger episode model \nPractice and learn to conduct an anger episode interview to efficiently identify relevant treatment targets \nRaymond Chip Tafrate\, PhD\, is a clinical psychologist and Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Central Connecticut State University. He is on the advisory board of the forensic special interest group for the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies\, the editorial board for Criminal Justice and Behavior\, a Fellow and Supervisor at the Albert Ellis Institute in New York City\, and a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers. \nDr. Tafrate frequently consults with criminal justice agencies and programs and community mental health centers\, and has trained thousands of professionals to work more effectively with adolescents and adults with difficult-to-change problems such as anger dysregulation and criminal behavior. He has presented his research throughout North America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Australia.
