The purpose of the this study was to explore the effects of the Anger Control Program on anger, interpersonal relation and self-esteem for people with Mental Disability in rehabilitation center. The State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAEI-K), Relationship Change Scale, and Self-esteem Scale were used for screening in pre-test. 11 people who have a high score in anger expression level, and low score in Relationship Change Scale and Self-esteem Scale participated in this study. Then, participants were assigned to anger control program group (n=5) or control group (n=6). The anger control program for participants was administered for 10 sessions in 2 months. Anger, interpersonal relation, and self-esteem were assessed at pre-test, post-test, 1-month follow-up periods. The results of this study were that scores of anger expression in the anger control program group were significantly decreased more than those in the control group, and scores of interpersonal relation and self-esteem in the anger control program group were significantly increased more than those in the control group. However, changes were not maintained at follow-up assessment. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study as well as suggestions for further research were discussed
