About the Author

Dr. Walker is a licensed psychologist practicing Tucson, Arizona. In addition to clinical work, he provides risk management consultation services to numerous hospital facilities throughout the Southwest. He has led hundreds of anger-management groups at psychiatric hospitals and residential treatment centers over the past twenty-five years, and his work with angry people was featured in the CBS 48 Hours episode, "Rage." He has also lectured at numerous universities and agencies throughout the United States and China.

Dr. Walker was born and raised in Iowa. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Drake University, he worked as a semitruck driver for seven years before earning a master's degree from the University of Iowa, a second master's degree from the University of Missouri, and a PhD degree in counseling psychology from the University of Iowa. He came to Tucson to complete an internship in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Center.

His treatment approach is primarily cognitive-behavioral, and he believes anger-management treatment should provide specific skills, which will empower people to make the positive changes they desire.
