Excellent book with more details, by renowned social psychologist Dr. Carol Tavris:
ANGER: THE MISUNDERSTOOD EMOTION
By Carol Tavris
“Witty, provocative, and impressively documented, this work lights a candle in cursed darkness.” – Los Angeles Times
Drawing on important new research, Anger explodes virtually every one of our conventional assumptions about this crucial emotion and how it affects our lives. This fully revised and updated landmark book dispels the common myths about the causes and uses of anger. Is expressing anger is always good for you, or is suppressing it is always unhealthy? Do women have special ‘”anger problems” that men do not? Dr. Carol Tavris expertly examines every facet of that fascinating emotion – from genetics to stress to the rage for justice.
The five conditions under which anger is likely to be effective – and when it’s not.
Strategies for solving specific anger problems – chronic anger, dealing with difficult people, repeated family battles, anger after divorce or victimization and aggressive children.
A new consideration of biological politics: Should testosterone or PMS excuse rotten tempers or aggressive actions?
“Intelligent and witty, Tavris shows us how to use the anger of hope to avoid falling into the anger of despair.” — The New York Times
