A weakness of anger management?

-There are individual factors -Study by Kevin Howells et al (2005) conducted an investigation with Australian offenders. The research found that participant in an anger management programme had little overall impact when compared to a control group who recieved no treatment. However, this was not true for all offenders in the treatment programme -Significant progress was made with those offenders who shows intense levels of anger before the programme. Also, offenders who were open to change and highly motivated from the outside (treatment readiness) experienced similar gains -Therefore, this shows that anger management programmes are very much reliant on the individual for effective change
