This paper reflects the views of psychologists Gergen, andWeishar, and social constructionists like Harre. The management of anger teaches us to forgive someone and to have a clear ideology. The holy books ‘Geeta’ and the Bible both emphasize the request to “replace anger with love.”The authors like Novaco, Van Leuven, and Claude Steiner, have their own views on anger. The views of Mishra (Age of Anger) are praiseworthy. Daniel Goleman says anger is poison. Similarly, the views of Peale, Murphy, Hattie, and Watkins expressed their views on religion and self-esteem. Derrida’s logocentrism shows an emphasis on justice and Murphy’s view of the subconscious mind and on altruistic motives. Spielberger expressed his lucid views on stress and anger. This research focuses on the views of the six theorists mentioned in the title. Anger management teaches us how to forgive a person and one should have clarity in his or her conscience.

Relapse Prevention Model

We studied 28 female arsonists and 28 female controls admitted to Holloway Prison over four months to examine the psychological and situational antecedents to firesetting so that the behaviour could be targeted for treatment. Over 92% of the arson group had received a psychiatric diagnosis. Both groups had similarly high rates of early deprivation and abuse. None of the female arsonists had set a fire for financial gain. There was no evidence of sexual arousal being associated with firesetting; only two women described their firesetting in terms that suggest a level of compulsion - one of these was alcoholic, the other was diagnosed as severely personality disordered. Several behavioural and psychological antecedents to offending were identified which could be targeted for treatment: low self-esteem, depression, limited communication skills, and deficits in anger management. The relapse prevention model is suggested as a possible intervention for recidivistic arsonists.

scholarly journals Teaching an old dog new tricks: Herodotus confirms Xerxes’ anger in The Persian wars, and the Book of Esther provides insights on anger management

The Way

The Book of Esther describes Xerxes, king of Persia and Media, as an angry man. It highlights the king’s ups (Esther, 1:12; 7:7) and downs (Esther, 2:1; 7:10). Surprisingly, Herodotus in “The Persian wars” likewise emphasises the king’s anger and wrath. This classic Greek tale possibly fills in a time gap between Esther 1 and 2: Xerxes travels west from his capital, Susa, and loses a war in Sparta. “The Persian wars” chronicles Xerxes’ international humiliation and the despot’s rages along the way. Xerxes bullies and blames subordinates; destroys property and cuts a swathe from Persia to Sparta; acts pompously; and exhibits angry outbursts when crossed or thwarted. Herodotus confirms that generals, enemies, and aides tiptoe around this international bully. One, however, does not. Artemisia, a woman ship commander, earns Xerxes’ respect. When the battlefield of his life switches from Sparta back to Susa, the Bible presents a second model of courage, Esther, Xerxes’ new queen. Walking confidently in the halls of power, this lovely “general” in regal robes comes gracefully yet forcefully before the king, time and time again. Modeling anger management techniques with a blend of wisdom and femininity, Esther faces Xerxes’ anger – and neutralises it.

The Relationship

The discussion centers on the problem of attaining a consistently stable and healthy self-esteem as essential to psychological integrity. Opposing healthy self-esteem is the need for self-deification, a phenomenon significantly related to psychopathology as attested to in the writings of various theorists. From a Christian perspective, the relationship between sin and psychopathology is believed to be causal. Theologically defined pride is isolated by the reviewer as the essential element in sin. Pride is identical to the need for self-deification and is opposed to healthy self-esteem. The Bible holds the authoritative and definitive discussion of the problem and also provides the solution.
