Assessment
Anger and domestic violence are very complex. To get to the root causes, a thorough client assessment should be performed at the beginning of the therapeutic process. A Biopsychosocial Assessment is an assessment typically conducted by therapists and counselors, which assesses for biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to a problem or problems with a client. It’s considered a holistic assessment, looking at a client on all levels, including culture, education and work history, family and marriage difficulties, and medical issues to better identify an individual’s needs.
