===Adults=== One motivation for seeking anger management can be career-related. As both a preventative and corrective tool, anger management is available to help individuals [[Coping (psychology)|cope]] with potentially anger-inducing aspects of their jobs. One such situation applies to caretakers of individuals with [[mental illness]]. The daily stress combined with slow or no progress with the people under their care can create a high level of frustration. Skills training for caretakers of relatives with dementia has been developed to help cope with these feelings of frustration in a positive manner.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Coon, D.|author2=Thompson, L.|author3=Steffen, A.|author4=Sorocco, K.|author5=Gallagher-Thompson, D.|name-list-style=amp|year=2003|title=Anger and depression management: Psychoeducational skill training interventions for women caregivers of a relative with dementia|journal=Gerontologist|volume=43|issue=5|pages=678β89|pmid=14570964|doi=10.1093/geront/43.5.678|doi-access=free}}</ref> Anger management is also beneficial in [[law enforcement]]. The role of police officers is to protect civilians, however, conflicts between the police and the general public can develop. The goal of anger management would be to reduce such occurrences like police brutality from negatively impacting the relationship between law enforcement and citizens.<ref>{{cite journal|author1=Abernethy, A.

This need was noticed by Novaco, who originally designed an intervention for anger management based on cognitive behavioral therapy, resulting in a specialized skills training program for law enforcement.<ref>{{Cite journal|author=Novaco, R.|year=1977|title= Stress inoculation approach to anger management in training of law-enforcement officers|journal=American Journal of Community Psychology|volume=5|issue=3|pages=327β46|pmid=910754|doi=10.1007/BF00884700|s2cid=46019108}}</ref> Couples also in the brink of dissolution of their marriage need to understand what to do about [[intimate partner violence]], and the more knowledgeable the individuals are on how to manage their anger, the better prepared they are when confronted with a problem with another person.<ref>{{Cite journal|author1=Shorey, R.
