From the Paper:

"The work of Christiansen, Cochran, and Corkery (2000) entitled: "Dealing with Difficult People: A Training Program" published by the University of Iowa, University Counseling Service states that the program at the University of Iowa is one specifically designed so that the learner will be provided with the opportunity "to learn more effective strategies for relating to angry, emotional, or tearful individuals." This type of program should be completed by the individual "who finds themselves in situations where they have to cope with emotional individuals.""
