Since classical times, philosophers and physicians have identified
anger as a human frailty that can lead to violence and human
suffering, but with the development of a modern science of abnormal
psychology and mental disorders, it has been written off as merely
an emotional symptom and excluded from most accepted systems of
psychiatric diagnosis. Yet despite the lack of scientific
recognition, anger-related violence is often in the news, and
courts are increasingly mandating anger management treatment. It is
time for a fresh scientific examination of one of the most
fundamental human emotions and what happens when it becomes
pathological, and this thorough, persuasive book offers precisely
such a probing analysis.
Using both clinical data and a variety of case studies, esteemed
anger researchers Raymond A. DiGiuseppe and Raymond Chip Tafrate
argue for a new diagnostic classification, Anger Regulation and
Expression Disorder, that will help bring about clinical
improvements and increased scientific understanding of anger. After
situating anger in both historical and emotional contexts, they
report research that supports the existence of several subtypes of
the disorder and review treatment outcome studies and new
interventions to improve treatment. The first book that fully
explores anger as a clinical phenomenon and provides a reliable set
of assessment criteria, it represents a major step toward
establishing the clear definitions and scientific basis necessary
for assessing, diagnosing, and treating anger disorders.
