The 18-hour certification course content is comprised of the following 3 core educational components:

ADVANCED ANGER & DEPRESSION INTERVENTION
12-Hours - 2 Textbooks 

1) Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion ~ by Carol Tavris
2) Understanding Depression: What We Know and What You Can Do About It ~ by J. Raymond DePaulo

Often called the 'Kings of Counseling,' this two-textbook course offers numerous practical and useful ideas for treating clients who have problems with Anger and Depression. Enjoy a discussion of fresh cognitive and behavioral intervention strategies that really work.

ASSESSMENT for MAJOR DEPRESSION
3 Hours - Online Text
There are distinct differences between 'feeling blue' and clinical major depression - both in diagnosis and treatment protocol. Misdiagnosis can result in ineffective treatment - and perhaps even suicide - and no one wants that liability.

INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER AND RAGE
3 Hours - DVD Video & Text

Rage is anger with the risk for loss of control.

The courses in this CE-CEU-CNE certification program are appropriate for all mental health professional counseling counselors (LPC, LCPC, LPCC, MHC, RMHC, NCC), marriage and family therapy therapists (MFT, LMFT, RMFT), social work social workers (SW, LCSW, LMSW, SWA, LICSW), psychologists, psychology associates (LPA), chemical dependency substance abuse counselors (LCDC, CADC, CAD, DAC, CAAD, CSAC), and nursing registered nurses (RN, LPN, LVN), and related behavioral health professionals.
