Anger is a widely misunderstood emotion. Some have maligned it as an evil in itself. But it's one of our most basic emotions. Nature put it there for good reason.

Abusive Characters and Treatment: The Essential Requirements

Programs that employ CBT principles have a good chance of doing some good. They at least have a better chance than those programs that operate from the traditional misguided perspective that abusers are wounded, love-hungry, insecure, self-esteem-deficient individuals, out of touch with their feelings, lacking in communication skills, and who simply know no other way to cope. But even some of the better CBT-based programs have some disturbing weaknesses. That's partly because they often focus so heavily on the person's thinking patterns and attitudes and not directly or intensely enough on their typical behavior patterns. It's also because the prevailing but erroneous perspective guiding their structure is that anger is always the main precipitant of aggressive behavior.
