Objective:To test efficacy of 8-session, 1: 1 treatment, anger self-management training (ASMT), for chronic moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).Setting:Three US outpatient treatment facilities.Participants:Ninety people with TBI and elevated self-reported anger; 76 significant others (SOs) provided collateral data.Design:Multicenter randomized controlled trial with 2: 1 randomization to ASMT or structurally equivalent comparison treatment, personal readjustment and education (PRE). Primary outcome assessment 1 week posttreatment; 8-week follow-up.Primary Outcome:Response to treatment defined as 1 or more standard deviation change in self-reported anger.Secondary Outcomes:SO-rated anger, emotional and behavioral status, satisfaction with life, timing of treatment response, participant and SO-rated global change, and treatment satisfaction.Main Measures:State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory-Revised Trait Anger (TA) and Anger Expression-Out (AX-O) subscales; Brief Anger-Aggression Questionnaire (BAAQ); Likert-type ratings of treatment satisfaction, global changes in anger and well-being.Results:After treatment, ASMT response rate (68%) exceeded that of PRE (47%) on TA but not AX-O or BAAQ; this finding persisted at 8-week follow-up. No significant between-group differences in SO-reported response rates, emotional/behavioral status, or life satisfaction. ASMT participants were more satisfied with treatment and rated global change in anger as significantly better; SO ratings of global change in both anger and well-being were superior for ASMT.Conclusion:ASMT was efficacious and persistent for some aspects of problematic anger. More research is needed to determine optimal dose and essential ingredients of behavioral treatment for anger after TBI.
