Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion
Author: Carol Tavris, Ph.D.
About the Book
First published as a groundbreaking work and now fully revised, Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion challenges nearly every common belief about one of humanity’s most powerful feelings. Psychologist Carol Tavris dismantles myths such as “venting anger is always healthy,” “suppressing anger is always damaging,” or “women struggle with anger differently than men.”
Drawing on decades of psychological research, Tavris explores anger from every angle: its genetic and biological roots, its connection to stress and health, and its social and cultural dimensions. She highlights when anger can be constructive—fueling justice, change, and honest communication—and when it becomes destructive, leading to chronic conflict or personal harm.
This updated edition includes:
- New insights into biology and politics (from testosterone to PMS as excuses for aggression)
- Five clear conditions where anger can be effective—and when it will fail
- Practical strategies for managing specific challenges: chronic anger, family conflict, post-divorce rage, difficult personalities, aggressive children, and anger after victimization
Why You’ll Love It

- Offers a nuanced, nonjudgmental perspective on when anger is useful or harmful
