can anybody recommend some articles/research on anger which suggests that anger is a defense against private experience. Specifically, is there any evidence...
Hi Joseph -- I would look to the coping and emotion regulation literature. There is quite a bit of work linking emotion regulation strategies with anger...
Has anyone yet correlated the AAQ with anger / aggression? The closest I know of is self-harm in Gratz & Roemer (2004) (but that is not the same thing). Some...
I asked the list for a referral in Southern NH, in the Nashua/Manchester area, and nobody wrote back. Are there really no ACT-ists in NH? Or is it more that it...
Although I don't know of any direct measures of anger, I typically use a functional behavioral tracking sheet that I generate on MSExcel and have family,...
Since I posted my query earlier today I've had two researchers send me back channel notes that they had correlated the AAQ with anger measures and found good...
Are you saying that anger is justified by the unfairness that is experienced when things are perceived as not right, but that the insistence on being right is...

Anger isn't unidimensional, so no it doesn't always have to be the product of hurt/fear. Anger can be in response to extinction (withholding approval, food,...
Andre Something in your post seems to have me saying that anger is bad and you need to dampen it down by defusion. I'm sure that is not in the messages I think...
Steve, you wrote below "I think of defusion as more related to thoughts than emotions per se." This brings up an interesting issue about the dividing line...

In my experience, anger is most often connected to (not caused by) some sort of pain -- It may be physical pain, the hurt/fear thing, other unnamed emotional...
... I'm really glad you're bringing this up because it concerns me that some trauma therapists do appear to have this belief and rigid rule that it is...
As Steve says, it is also sometimes a revelation to clients that they can "have" anger, or whataever it is that underlies it, and not have to act out on it....
It seems to me this is another perspective worth thinking about. Would this go to functionality? I think anger is a "messenger." When someone gets the...
Andrei, You wrote: We talk about experiential avoidance, yet defusion is more narrowly focused on cognitive defusion. Is there an assumption here operating ...
All emotions are messengers. Thoughts too. They say that something in your past and in the current situation has had this effect. Very important info, that. ...
And if not, what is? I am making my way through the written materials/books, etc. , but at this point am not able to attend the workshops and have no access...
