Synopsis

Road Rage provides an integrative summary of the existing literature on aggressive driving as well as detailed information on assessing aggressive drivers using such methods as standardized psychological tests, psychiatric diagnoses, and psychophysiological measurement. The authors also present comprehensive, step-by-step instructions for implementing successful and concise cognitive-behavioral treatment for angry, aggressive drivers. Clinical hints and vignettes are included to aid readers in implementing the treatment program, which has been successfully evaluated with both court- and self-referred individuals who acknowledge their hostile and perilous driving habits. This is one of the first books to examine the psychology of road rage, and clinicians and researchers alike will be rewarded with an increased understanding of the magnitude and treatment of this societal problem.
