Judgment of Anger Problems by Clients and Therapists

Study of Batterers and Nonbatterers

California State University, Fullerton

Clients' self-judgments and therapists' judgments on severity of anger control problem, dangerousness, and motivation for treatment were obtained on 52 outpatient clients with a history of battering and 57 clients without such history. Differences in judgment ratings between groups and correlational data on the therapists' and clients' judgments are presented. Patterns of endorsement of ten specific anger problem criteria by the clients and therapists are analyzed in relation to their judgment ratings by zero-order correlations and stepwise multiple regression. The presumed trustworthiness of professional judgments relative to the self-judgments of clients is examined in terms of reliability and the apparent basis of these judgments. Clinical and research implications of descriptive study in this area are discussed.
