“…Overall, the present findings provide renewed support for CBAT efficacy and they add to the growing literature on remotely‐delivered ‘anger management’ programs (e.g., Bjureberg et al, 2022; Braeuer et al, 2022; Mackintosh et al, 2017; Morland et al, 2010). To our knowledge, the present study is also the first reported empirical evaluation of anger treatment outcomes in chronic pain patients.…”

Studies of anger treatment have often reported on reappraisal and relaxation techniques delivered in person to forensic and psychiatric samples. The present study evaluated an integrative programme of cognitive–behavioural affective therapy (CBAT) delivered remotely to chronic pain sufferers with comorbid anger. Volunteers (N = 54) were randomly assigned to either CBAT or an Emotional Education (EE) group, both receiving hour‐long videorecorded sessions twice a week for 4 weeks plus weekly calls by telephone. At 1‐month post‐treatment, follow‐up was conducted. Outcomes were measured using the Anger Parameters Scale (APS) and its five subscales (frequency, duration, intensity, latency and threshold) as well as daily self‐monitored anger logs. As hypothesized, pre‐ to post‐treatment decline in APS total scores was significant for CBAT, Hedges' g = 0.65, 95% CI [0.14, 1.16] but nonsignificant and small for EE, g = 0.17, CI [−0.41, 0.75]. At the primary endpoint (post‐treatment), APS total scores were significantly lower for CBAT than for EE. Treatment gains were maintained till follow‐up. On all five APS subscales, pre‐post effect sizes were medium‐sized for CBAT and generally small for EE. This picture was mirrored in the self‐monitored frequency, duration and intensity of anger. Findings support the efficacy of CBAT over time, its comparative efficacy over EE and its ecological generalizability. Future research could expand sample size, reduce sample imbalance, extend follow‐up and strengthen treatment potency with more sessions. The present study renews enthusiasm for teletherapy and is the first to demonstrate CBAT efficacy in treating maladaptive anger in the chronic pain population.

“…A few countries have therefore begun to reduce the size of their prison populations by transferring some prisoners to the community due to the high risk of transmissibility in prisons (Rapisarda & Byrne, 2020 ). Additionally, online interventions are replacing traditional face-to-face activities due to the mentioned high transmissibility risks (Braeuer et al, 2022 ; Fromberger et al, 2021 ). Whether the higher dropout rate of online interventions affects the overall effectiveness of the program is unclear.…”

Are risk-need-responsivity principles golden? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of community correction programs

Objectives Using meta-analysis to determine the effect size of the recidivism rate of participants in community correction programs that are conducted entirely in community settings. Methods Following the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA), 25 qualified studies contributed 35 independent effect sizes. Results Full participation in a program significantly reduced the recidivism rate. Participant age was a significant moderator of heterogeneity. Those aged over 18 have lower recidivism rates. Interventions that fully follow the Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) design principles achieved similar results to those that did not. Recidivism rates increase more than 12 months after the program ends. Conclusions The effectiveness of community correctional programs varies depending on the participant’s age. The RNR principles are not golden. The above factors should be carefully considered when conducting intervention design in the future. Results should be interpreted with caution due to the literature’s high heterogeneity and low quality.
