What is the best way to handle an adult's temper tantrums?

Temper tantrums: Adults with temper tantrums need to attend anger management classes. Psychotherapy should be part of the mangement as well.

Tantrums are not: age-appropriate prosocial & coping skills in adulthood. When you & the person are calm, explain that you will not engage when (s)he is tantruming..no talking, glaring, yelling, no positive or negative attention of any kind to reinforce the tantrum. Consistently ignore tantrums as they get worse before they stop. Encourage the person to seek diagnosis & treatment by a psychiatrist & psychologist.
