Anger and Indigenous Men

Anger and Indigenous Men

by Andrew Day (Editor), KevinHowells (Editor), Martin Nakata (Editor)

Synopsis

This book is for social work and criminal justice practitioners who wish to develop culturally appropriate and effective programmes for reducing anger-related violence perpetrated by Indigenous men. It places cultural context at the heart of any intervention, broadening the focus from problematic behaviour to a more holistic notion of well-being. The book is structured in three parts. Part 1 explores Indigenous perspectives on anger and violence, on both sociological and psychological levels. The different views presented show there is no single 'cause' but provide contexts for understanding an individual's anger. Part 2 outlines methodologies and processes for collecting meaningful data on anger and Indigenous men. Part 3 presents ideas for developing and delivering anger management programmes that meet the needs of Indigenous men:
