Anger Management has become highly publicized, and statistics show that one of the most
insidious forms of violence, domestic violence, is on the rise, and the old adage that you hurt the
ones you love proves, all too often, to be true. Men commit 95% of all violent crimes.
Domestic violence is the top cause of emergency room visits by women. During the Vietnam
War, more women were murdered at home than men killed on the battlefield.
Just like anger management is a learned behavior, so are the cycles of violence that define
domestic violence in all its forms. Abuse of marital, or life partners, has seen a steady increase
in all socioeconomic statuses of people everywhere. Child abuse has escalated steadily over
the years, and more and more angry parents are in counseling with equally angry, out of control
children. It seems clear that better methods of communicating, dealing with the most intimate of
interpersonal relationships, and productive methods of anger management are vital in today’s
world
