Anger is often a difficult emotion to express and understand and it has come to be recognized as a significant social problem that our society facing today. This paper discusses the efficacy of the Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and the Emotion-focused therapy (EFT) for treating patient with anger problems and compared therapists’ view on emotion which how they see emotion as the prime mover in human experience in different ways respectively. Besides, the development, overview and the similarities of CBT & EFT has been critically compared and discussed in this essay.

Few workers would want to follow a passionless leader. However, if that same passion blinds the decision making process to the point of failure, than passion obviously went from good to bad. As excess anger can be one of the most destructive of all emotions, Goleman spends a good deal of time speaking to it. He quotes Benjamin Franklin: “Anger is never without a reason, but seldom a good one”. He speaks to the folly of trying to prevent anger and focuses on techniques to diffuse it before it becomes personally or career damaging.

In our life, we meet many people that have anger issues. People have anger issues because they could have been abused by the people they love or they had a terrible experience from childhood. I read two books that had a similarity which, Ruthless from the book called Ruthless by Carolyn Lee Adams and Cole from the book called Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. Cole and Ruthless have similarity in life, Cole was abused by his father, Ruthless experience during her childhood, and Cole and Ruthless have a difference in life. People could manage to control their anger issues by facing their problems.

Knowing more about anger has helped me personally because I now know that being angry has a deeper meaning to it. When being around my parents they seem to be very angry all the time. I used to think that they were just having a bad day but now after disusing many other reasons a person may be angry I want to be able to defuse the situation and actually help my parents out. The same thing also applies to my professional work and socially. Working in a program in which many people throughout the day approach me and I will sometimes get people who will start yelling at me out of nowhere and expected me to give them services I cannot provide them. Know that I have gain knowledge about anger I can put their situation into my point of view and now be able to help them solve their problem and most of the time their mishap is something that has nothing to do with me or my job but they are just being displacement and putting their frustrations out on me. In the future, I know I will consistently have to deal with angry people because I want to be a social worker and help children find a better provider for themselves. Having to deal with people that have to give up their kids for the best of the child I know that I will not be working with the happiest people in that situation but the totally opposite. When realizing that I will be working in a very difficult environment with people who are angry I now have more confidence going into that profession because I know now how to deescalate the problem and find that deeper meaning a parent might have towards their

Anger runs through people’s veins, it is a tricky thing to avoid. During Macbeth, some characters let anger get the best of them. For example, by the end of the play lady Macbeth kills herself from anger and not being to be able to get what she wants. She knows that she hates Duncan and wants to attack him, but she knows that she can’t do it right so she asks Macbeth if he can do it because she knows that Macbeth can do it but Macbeth says no and she grows angry at him and

I hear some people say that they got so angry they lost control and didn’t know what they were doing. I often wondered what that must be like. I, being a very passive person, have never lost control when I’ve become angered. I’ve always had total awareness of my situation. In the movie “Anger Management”, Jack Nicholson so nicely stated: “Your temper is the one thing you can’t get rid of by loosing it” I’ve probably come close at times, but never gone over the edge to uncontrollable rage. I remember there was one time it came close.
