The effects of various anger and aggression treatments have been published in five met-analytical reviews (Beck & Fernandez, 1998; Bowman-Edmonson & Cohen-Conger, 1996; Del Vecchio & O’Leary, 2004; DiGuiseppe & Tafrate, 2003; Tafrate, 1995) suggesting some positive effects of treatment on various aspects of anger. The first meta-analytic review was conducted by Tafrate, (1995) reporting relaxation-based treatment as the most effective, however, when considering the research findings, the limited methodology to the study need to be taken into account.

    Aggressiveness is a behavioral trait where a person is unreasonably hostile towards others, often in an attempt to dominate and intimate those around them. The Buss-Petty Aggression Scale breaks up aggression into four categories: physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger, and hostility. While the conceptual definition did not specify different types of aggression, it did highlight hostility and allowed for intimidating or hostile ‘actions’ in a general sense. The conceptual definition further highlighted aggression as feelings and actions that arise due to or in interaction with other people. The Buss-Petty Aggression Scale questions seem to focus on the same interpersonal interactions a great deal.…

    “Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy. ”(Aristotle).

    Interaction My initial response to the concept of forgiveness therapy for abuse survivors was that it seemed counter-intuitive, as it can be perceived to excuse the abusive behavior and invalidate the suffering of the victim. However, this impression fails to acknowledge the therapeutic definition of forgiveness as used in therapy, a release of resentment (Reed & Enright, 2006). Upon review of this definition of forgiveness therapy, I concluded that it was in line with other therapeutic ideals that encourage release of negative thought patterns and encourage the construction of positive thought patterns and behaviors.…

    Conceptualization Concept #1: Family Schema Sergio reported that he has problems with his anger and he tends to blow up easily just like his father. What I see is that Sergio thinks that being angry and blowing up is what it seems to work with everyone. Sergio saw his father the same way by arguing and getting angry to the point that it caused him to have a heart attack; it is a family belief that someone should always be extremely angry to be able to deal with people. Sergio’s father moved that trait over to his son as a template to follow in his life. I imagine that this family tends to get angry at each other and always fight because they don’t have another alternative to deal with a problem.…
