Anger management
Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. It has been described as deploying anger successfully.
Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something the subject feels is important. Anger can also be a defensive response to underlying fear or feelings of vulnerability or powerlessness. Anger management programs consider anger to be caused by an identifiable reason, which can be logically analyzed and addressed.
The ideal goal of anger management is to control and regulate anger so that it does not result in problems. Anger is an active emotion that calls a person feeling it to respond. People get into anger issues because both the instigator and instigated lack interpersonal and social skills to maintain self-control. The experience of anger reduces impulse control and harms decision-making. People can learn to respond to their anger as unwanted and unpleasant rather than react to its need. Turning a blind eye or forgiveness is a tool to turn anger off. Getting enough sleep, exercising, and eating a good diet can all help to prevent anger.
One study showed that people with anger management problems tend to not internalize blame for their actions. Encouraging people with anger issues to adopt a more empathetic and complex theory of mind is one approach to anger management.
In de Ira, Seneca the Younger (4 BC – 65 AD) advised for pre-emptively guarding against confrontational situations, perspective taking, and not inciting anger in anger-prone individuals. Other philosophers echoed Seneca with Galen recommending seeking out a mentor for aid in anger reduction.
In the Middle Ages, saints generally advocated for meekness and humility, but some distinguished between rational anger (expressed as zeal or self-discipline to combat evil) and irrational anger (which one saint compared to a "dragon").
Modern anger management programs are based on psychological research. Classical psychotherapy based anger management interventions originated in the 1970s. Success in treating anxiety with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions developed by Meichebaum inspired Novaco to modify the stress inoculation training to be suitable for anger management. Meichebaum, and later Novaco, used each aspect of experiencing the relevant emotion as an opportunity for improvement to the patient's overall well-being.[citation needed]
Drug addiction, alcoholism, a mental disability, biochemical changes and PTSD can all lead to a person committing an aggressive act against another person.[citation needed]
