Description
If you truly understood how damaging and dangerous chronic and strong anger is, you would always stay calm. Like the cigarette smoker with lung cancer, had they known what a few “puffs” a day would lead to, they would have ceased immediately. These true stories will prove to you how horrible anger is, and in doing so, hopefully motivate you to control your anger. Or, if you are not the person with an “anger problem,” pass it on to the one that does.
These stories are based on the research of Family Therapist Abe Kass, M.A., R.S.W., R.M.F.T. Over the years, he has encountered many sad and tragic stories of families and individuals injured by anger. Some of these stories are presented here. All identifying details have been changed to ensure confidentiality and to make it impossible to identify the real people and families in these stories. As well, some stories are a composite of similar cases. They have been compiled for the purpose of research, teaching, and publication.
