Abstract
The literature on the use of cognitively based anger control packages of treatment for people with learning
disabilities is reviewed. It is found that the experimental evidence for the effectiveness of such treatment is weak.
There is, however, good evidence that two of the components of the package, relaxation and self-monitoring, can be
effective in their own right, with relaxation being found to reduce anger and self-monitoring to reduce other challenging
behaviours. The use of cognitive procedures with people who have learning disabilities is discussed.
