Program structure: 10 weekly sessions (Week 0 Intake through Week 9 Closure), delivered online. The DAR-5 is administered at Weeks 0, 5 and 9; the CAS at Weeks 0 and 9.

Completion of this program requires attendance at a minimum of 8 of 10 sessions. Assessment rows (Weeks 0, 5, 9) are highlighted above.

C — Outcome Assessment: DAR-5 + Clinical Anger Scale (CAS)

Assessment framework: Two validated, free-access instruments are used in combination across three timepoints.

Tool	Items	What it measures	Clinical cutoff / range	Administered
DAR-5	5	Frequency, intensity, duration, aggression, and interference with social functioning over the preceding 4 weeks.	Score 5–25. Clinical threshold: ≥12 indicates problem anger warranting intervention.	Weeks 0, 5 and 9
CAS	21	Intensity and maladaptive expression of clinical anger including work performance, sleep, decision-making and interpersonal relationships.	Score 0–63. 0–13: Minimal · 14–19: Mild · 20–28: Moderate · 29–63: Severe	Weeks 0 and 9

Both instruments are self-report. The psychologist's clinical observations in Sections D and E are an integral part of this report.

C1 — DAR-5 Scores Across Program

Timepoint	Score	Clinical status
Week 0 (Intake)	16 / 25	Above threshold (≥12)
Week 5 (Mid-program)	11 / 25	Below threshold (<12)
Week 9 (Discharge)	7 / 25	Below threshold (<12)

Sleep, decision-making, physical and behavioural	12 / 24	1 / 24
Personal insight, awareness and commitment to change	7 / 15	1 / 15

Work performance / cognitive: improved from 3 to 1 / 6 (a reduction of 2 points).
Interpersonal interference / affective: improved from 2 to 0 / 6 (a reduction of 2 points).
Sleep, decision-making, physical and behavioural: improved from 12 to 1 / 24 (a reduction of 11 points).
Personal insight, awareness and commitment to change: improved from 7 to 1 / 15 (a reduction of 6 points).
Risk factors / future focus: unchanged at 3 / 12.

C4 — Clinician's Interpretation of Assessment Results

James presented with a moderate-to-severe anger profile at intake (DAR-5: 16/25, CAS: 27/63), consistent with clinically significant problem anger warranting structured intervention. By discharge, both measures had fallen well below clinical threshold (DAR-5: 7/25, CAS: 6/63), representing a substantial and consistent reduction across the ten-week program. The trajectory across all three timepoints shows steady, sustained improvement rather than a single pre/post shift, which is a more reliable indicator of genuine behavioural change.

Note for referring party: Both instruments are self-report. The psychologist's clinical observations in Sections D and E are an integral part of this report.

D — Clinical Observations: Engagement & Progress

Rating scale: 1–No insight/engagement · 2–Minimal · 3–Moderate · 4–Good · 5–Excellent/consistent.

Domain	Rating	Clinical observation
Engagement & attendance	4 / 5	Good
Self-awareness & insight	4 / 5	Good
Accountability & ownership	3 / 5	Average - needs work
Skill acquisition & application	2 / 5	Unaware and lacking
Communication & relational skills	2 / 5	Poor - needs work. Biggest change to improve anger
Motivation for sustained change	4 / 5	Excellent

E — Clinical Summary Narrative

James engaged consistently and openly across the program, showing particularly strong gains in self-awareness and insight into his anger triggers. He was able to articulate the connection between early relationship experiences and his current reactive patterns by Week 5, and applied this understanding practically in subsequent sessions. His accountability, while improved, remains an area for continued attention — James still occasionally externalises responsibility for conflict onto others before catching and correcting the pattern himself, though the correction now happens noticeably faster than at intake. Communication and relational skills showed the least improvement of the six domains and represent the clearest area for ongoing focus. Overall, James's engagement and motivation throughout the program were genuine and consistent, and the quantitative outcome measures corroborate the clinical impression of meaningful, durable change.

F — Clinical Recommendations & Maintenance Plan

Needs further one-on-one sessions to continue improvement, with particular focus on communication and relational skills given these showed the least improvement across the six observed domains.

G — Completion Recommendation

✓	Program completed with demonstrated engagement and meaningful insight development. No further structured intervention recommended at this time.
