There are no state laws that regulate anger management. Neither the LA County Probation Department nor any other agency is involved in certifying anger management programs. The list of probation-approved batterers' intervention programs is solely for domestic violence perpetrators. Domestic violence programs are inappropriate for addressing issues of anger management in non-intimate relationships. Therefore, as a nationally recognized leader in providing interventions, resources, and provider certifications in anger management, Anderson & Anderson has compiled a list of programs currently using the Conover Assessment and 'Gaining Control of Ourselves', a widely recognized anger management workbook. We do not in any way guarantee the quality of the services provided by any of the businesses listed. A complimentary copy of this publication in English or Spanish will be provided upon request to any officer of the court.
Professional mental health organizations are carefully looking at anger management as an area of specialization to add to their turf. Unless providers of anger management organize to represent our own interests, we will be defined by others whose interests may not coincide with those of us who work daily to provide these services. Therefore, The American Association of Anger Management Providers is being formed to address these issues. AAAMP Membership is open to all professional anger management providers and facilitators. Visit the American Association of Anger Management Providers website for more information.
