Anger Management.

Anger Management and Domestic Violence.

By Colin Jones

How is anger management connected to domestic violence? Put simply, most people that abuse their spouse in this type of situation, are angry due to an anti-social disorder in their subconscious mind.

Anger is one of the main symptoms of personality disorder, including paranoia, schizophrenia, schizoid, antisocial, psychopathic, histrionic and sociopathic personalities. Many people that are abusive in relationships have anti-social personalities.

The anti-social person often attacks when he or she is drunk or under the influence of some drug or other. This is not true in all instances of course, but it is true in most circumstances. Anti-social personality types often disobey rules and regulations and usually feel that they are entitled to do so. (articlecontinues below)

Anti-social personality types are controlling and if you do not allow their authority, they often vent their anger in a controlling or violent way. Anti-social types will often humiliate, intimidate, brutally physically abuse and mentally belittle their spouse, but the domestic abuse does not usually stop there.

This type of individual has never proven to be likely to respond to anger management techniques. In other words, men that batter their wives will usually continue to do so until someone gets seriously injured. It is not a good idea to mix with this type of person, as there is rarely any hope at all of them controlling their anger.

This type will often beat a spouse, until they just want to kill them. This means someone could die, since this sort of person will become angrier and angrier as the years pass and will rarely ask for anger management help with their domestic violence. Even if he or she does get anger management help for domestic violence, it quite often fails. Therefore, it is not recommended to start a relationship with this type of person.

The signs are a wild appearance or wild expressions, laughing for no apparent reason, laughing in a situation where a person was harmed, outbursts of anger for no apparent reason et cetera. This type of person is unreliable and will often lead you to believe that he or she is a model for society, but omce behind closed doors the brute appears.

Of course, hatred is the underlying source of this person's anger, and hatred has been known to kill. Often deep-seated jealousy also underlies the anger issues within these types of people. Many of these angry people take drugs, like cocaine, crack, marijuana and others. They often exceed the safety limit of alcohol consumption too and this only increases the chances of them flying into a rage.

An example of bad anger management and domestic violence can be seen in a small town called Dowagiac in Michigan, where a man attempted to kill several women but was still allowed to walk the streets. Not much anger management help was provided to this person and often his furious attacks were simply because he felt that he could not control his partners.

The victims did not get any justice and a few even believed that they could change his angry ways. Pretty soon he was sitting in the county jail on a number of charges, including assault of a police officer and hit and run. The police, according to witnesses, claimed that the criminal had a weapon and was drunk when he fled in order to elude the police and that marijuana was found in his vehicle.

This person had a continuous history of brutality but the justice system let those victims down, which led to more anger management problems.

Another example of anger is in borderline personality types. These people, when feeling alone/abandonned, will lash out at others. Sometimes they are physically abusive, but most of the time they are verbally and mentally abusive. The spouse has only to go to work and when he or she returns home, they will be accused of doing something wrong.

The abusive person might even call the workplace of the spouse numerous times to verify that he or she has not run off with someone else. This is another type of angry person that rarely recovers, and like the antisocial personality types, these types are just as dangerous and manipulative.

Paranoid personality types are equally dangerous and manipulative but their anger is almost impossible to predict, because, in most cases, these types act on voices perceived to be inside or outside their heads. Like the antisocial types, the paranoid type seldomly has a justifiable reason for their behaviour. In most cases, it is just an issue of control, which means that if the victim is not easily controllable, the paranoid person will react with anger and violence.
