Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Anger, aggression, and violence continue to present salient concerns for society in general and mental health providers in particular. Unfortunately, there is no text that has systematically reviewed measures for assessing these constructs. This book reviews over 130 measures of anger, aggression, or violence. This book contains two parts . Part I includes an introductory chap- ter and an applied chapter on conducting a risk assessment. Part II provides a description of how the measures are organized and quick-view tables that provide easy access to measures with enough information to allow for an estimate of the likelihood that reading additional information about a particu- lar measure would prove fruitful. Measures are organized alphabetically into tables for measures of anger, aggression, or violence. Each of the tables pro- vides the name of the measure, the purpose for which the measure was devel- oped, and the targeted population. The tables also provide information on the method of assessment, the amount of time required to use the measure, and the page number where additional information is available. Part II also con- tains the review of each measure. The Appendix provides examples of mea- sures that can be copied for research or clinical purposes. I want to thank a number of people who helped with this text. In particular, we wish to thank students and colleagues who helped with the review of measures in Part II. We also thank the authors of the measures we reviewed. Without their work this text would not be possible. Finally, we extend a heart- felt thanks and profound respect to the authors who allowed us to reproduce their measures in the Appendix. Sharing their work in this manner is likely to have a signifi cant impact on advancing the assessment of anger, aggression, and violence. Mount Pleasant, MI, USA George F.
