Anger and rage are destructive and consuming emotions, not only harassing the person but damaging, at the same time, their relationships and surroundings.  Attributed gender roles play an important difference in the use, expression and impact of these forceful emotions.  Anger and rage are experienced differently by men and women: in our society,  a man’s expression of anger is regarded as forceful and “masculine,” thus it is socially encouraged; whereas, a woman openly expressing her anger is considered as losing her femininity; she is attributed with humiliating connotations.  Generally women tend to internalize their anger, mostly directing it to themselves or to their children.  Unexpressed emotions tend to accumulate in a destructive pool, and either they turn into depression or they explode in the most unexpected moments, destroyiing the person’s inner world as well as close relationships.  

This book concentrates on the different forms and reasons of anger and rage,  our learned gender roles in their expression, the many ways of expressing anger and rage, while exploring how these destructive emotions could be transformed into productive energy, sincere communication and personal change.
