Anger and Domestic Violence

Anger occurs when individuals experience unresolved stress which can easily lead to frustration which is a feeling of dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or even depression. This is the cause of Domestic Violence.

Domestic Violence is domestic abuse or spousal abuse by one or both partners in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, friends or cohabitation. Obviously, Domestic Violence is bad hurtful behavior against an intimate partner. If you love your partner why would you intentionally hurt them?

Domestic Violence can be either verbal or physical aggression or threatening behavior, sexual or emotional abuse, controlling or intimidating behavior, passive abusive behavior such as neglect or even economic deprivation. Again, all of these are hurtful behaviors. If you love your partner why would you intentionally hurt them?

It has been estimated that only about a third of cases of Domestic Violence are actually reported in the United States. According to the Center for Disease Control Domestic Violence is a serious, preventable public health problem affecting more than 32 million Americans, or over 10% of the U.S. population.

Domestic Violence can be characterized by patterns of behavior which may include power and control by one person over another in an intimate relationship. It can occur in both heterosexual and homosexual relationships and has serious consequences in the lives of children, individuals, families and communities. Again, if you love your partner why would you intentionally hurt them?

Anger is the response elicited in humans when we sense we’re being attacked or otherwise endangered which can come from hostile behavior, inattention, intimidation, controlling behavior, manipulation or outright rage. Again, I ask, if you love your partner why would you intentionally hurt them?

Courts in many jurisdictions require and mandate that individuals accused of Domestic Violence take training in Anger Management.

The program of Anger Management is the Anderson & Anderson model and is world renowned. It teaches you new ways to behave by giving you the tools necessary to change your behavior in a pleasant easy way. Also included in the program is Stress Management training, Emotional Intelligence enhancement and improvement in Communications. The program is not psychtherapy but rather a skill enhancement program.

The program is conducted over ten sessions either in a group setting or privately with Dr. Sinert.

I do not understand why those who are arrested for Domestic Violence are required to attend "anger management" classes. Domestic Violence is not an anger issue, the perpertrator feels he is intitled to control, hit, abuse the victim. His/her anger is nearly always controlled, when, where, what parts of the body will be inflicted. Clark County is not helping to reduce domestic violence when they mandate anger management courses for those who are arrested for domestic violence. The perpertrator has a mind set, usually stemming from childhood experiences, which gives him the right to abuse. Please look into this, because mandating anger management courses to help domestic violence abuser is not going to help, yes a domestic violence abuser can get angry, but he knows exactly what he is doing, he chooses when, where, and what part of the body he will harm. It is very calculated and controlled.
