Intervention Programs designed exclusively to provide help for “disruptive physicians” or “disruptive behavior” should not mirror the programs designed for psychiatric treatment, Life Coaching, substance abuse or sexual abuse/boundary issues. This means that no DSM psychiatric assessment is indicated or should be mandated.
Non-psychiatric assessments focusing on impulse control, anger management, stress management, communication and emotional intelligence are far more appropriate. Anger can be a problem, but is not a DSM IV diagnostic category.
Prior to enrolling in a program for "distressed physicians", "anger management" for healthcare professionals, "rageaholism" or "disruptive behavior", it is import to make sure that you will not be forced to undergo a psychiatric assessment. The most appropriate assessment is the internationally recognized EQ-i -2.0 Emotional Intelligence Assessment including the 360 degree component
