AM 500 – Anger Management: Concepts & Theories
Yield Theory, developed by Dr. Christian Conte, a Level V Anger Management Specialist, is the basis for Walking through Anger. It is an evidenced-based approach used by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections and by other states and organizations. Although the theory can be briefly known by its three actions and seven fundamental components, its practice requires counselors, psychotherapists and anger management practitioners to be mindful of their own nature, strengths, and weaknesses. Once mastered, however, Yield Theory can be an effective tool that enhances communication, abbreviates and even eliminates anger, and provides avenues for positive behavioral outcomes.
