Abstract

Despite the widely acknowledged association between exposure to traumatic events and the experience of angry feelings, most contemporary approaches to treating problematic anger focus on how angry provocations are perceived and responded to. Only passing attention is paid to the underlying cause. In this chapter the ways in which psychological trauma can influence anger expression are discussed, and treatment strategies are suggested for use with those who experience problematic anger with histories of trauma.
