This book reveals the impact of problematic anger on job performance and in the workplace, with a particular focus on police, firefighters, and the military.
Problematic anger can cause major disruptions in the workplace. It negatively influences individual performance, and the health and well-being of entire organizations. This is a serious problem in high-risk occupations, where the consequences of prolonged, unhealthy anger can be devastating.
This book aims to help researchers and practitioners understand unhealthy, unproductive anger, and its links to problems such as depression, alcohol abuse, and PTSD.
Contributors examine new and useful conceptual frameworks such as moral injury, and risk factors including risk-taking, irritability, hypervigilance, and chronic physiological activation. Anger is examined within individual and team contexts. Treatments and interventions, including cognitive bias modification, are presented to help clinicians and practitioners put these insights to practical use.

Amy B. Adler, PhD, is a clinical research psychologist and senior scientist with the Center for Military Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. She studies stress and performance in high-risk occupations, focusing on training innovation in managing emotions within teams, optimizing leadership, and enhancing resilience. She also co-leads the U.S. Army’s research on unit-level behavioral health, resilience, and readiness. Dr. Adler has extensive experience conducting research with operational units and spent more than 20 years working for the U.S. Army overseas. Her work has influenced training implementation across the army and in other nations as well. Besides serving as a U.S. representative to NATO research groups, Dr. Adler has published more than 160 articles and chapters and coedited six books. She has also led the development of an array of knowledge and training products that are designed to support unit behavioral health under high-stress conditions.
