Anger Management: The Importance of Therapy

By: Selma Holm, R-CSW

I have had patients come to me for anger management. They may be troubled with irrepressible anger at their spouse. They may be afraid of losing a job, because their mounting irritation at the boss may spill over to anger and acting-out. They may be afraid of losing a contract because of their resentment over their client's dissatisfaction with one small aspect of their work. Their anger has grown out of proportion. A toddler appears out of control; the frustrated parents become angry.

We address anger soon after our therapeutic relationship is formed. First, my patient tells me about the immediate situation; our initial goal is to defuse the anger and stop the acting-out. After that, we look at sources, tendencies, vulnerabilities, and the rewarding work of therapy begins.
