Early Life and Education
He was born and raised in Jackson, Miss., the son of a contractor who specialized in building churches. In 1957, during his freshman year at Jackson State University, he was nearly expelled. He had assumed “a leadership role” in a classroom boycott protesting the actions of a governor he felt was racially discriminating against his college. He later moved to Los Angeles, graduated from California State University Los Angeles, and spent the next 10 years at the Los Angeles County Probation Department working with adolescent offenders. He noticed, he says, that the kids responded better when their anger was met with softness and understanding rather than with punishment. He later decided to become a psychotherapist.He enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Social Work, won a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and transferred to Smith College in Massachusetts, where he completed his master's degree. He then enrolled at Harvard's School of Medicine, where he became qualified to practice child and adolescent psychotherapy. He eventually went back to his teaching post at UCLA.

Anderson & Anderson
In 1982, George Anderson and his wife, Nancy Anderson, founded Anderson & Anderson Psychological Services for Adults. Their private practice began a very successful run, focusing on the wellbeing and betterment of psychologically impaired clientele. In the early 1990s, George Anderson began doing research on the concept of anger. With the help of UCLA graduate students, he developed a curriculum that would become his anger management model. Currently, he is the major provider of language and culture specific curricula in Anger Management and Domestic Violence Intervention. His workbooks are published in English, Vietnamese, Korean, Spanish and Russian.
