Exploring the language of myth, religion, and literature, this book evokes an understanding of how rage has been assimilated into social discourse and also dealt with in ancient and modern times. The author draws from personal experience and the results of research and scientific studies to examine the physical and emotional causes and effects of rage. As it debates the effectiveness and value of psychotherapy in providing a secure environment for people overwhelmed by rage, this profound consideration encourage readers to ponder every aspect of rage and how it influences one’s psyche.
