Buddhists?

There is currently a paragraph at the end of the article that describes how Buddhists deal with anger. This comes after a long, scientific discourse, and no other religions are mentioned. For these reasons I'm removing it, as it seems out of place. I don't see how religion ties in with anger, but if it must be mentioned a list of how all major religions view anger would seem more appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.155.158 (talk) 23:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Handling anger assertively

There is a lot of inaccurate information in this article. I think it needs more cleaning up. 66.223.229.206 22:29, 8 December 2005 (UTC)Linda H.[reply]

Who wrote this article? are they on drugs? It's the biggest load of rubbish.

Handling anger assertively

In the section "Handling anger assertively", how can being "creative" and "spontaneously witty" be a balanced approach? The very idea of being spontaneous means there is no 'approach'.--JohnO 14:30, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism alert

This page has just been badly vandalised. I'm quite new as an editor - is there a quick way to reverse an edit? I'd really like to help fix this kind of stuff. StuartF 14:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No need to reply: I just found the help page on Reverting. StuartF 14:33, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other models section

I just removed this because it seemed to promote the ideas of individual and commercialy motivated anger management professionals without any reference to peer reviewed studies or indicators of effectiveness. This seems irresponsible for an encyclopedia. --Siobhan Hansa 12:43, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Completely Innccurate Information

This entire wiki is nothing but a bunch of half-witted garble. None of it makes sense, since when is insulting people passive anger? I could show each section of this thing to be inane and worthless. Someone fix this crap or do away with it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blarfo (talk • contribs).

This article could definitiely do with a great deal of improvement. You are welcome and encouraged to edit constructively. --Siobhan Hansa 13:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about a complete reset? I think it might take less wort to start from scratch than try to turn this one around. Just like the utter train wreck "dignity". — 84.139.41.68 13:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bubble wrap external link

I've removed this link again because it really isn't appropriate for an encyclopedia. Please don't add it back --Siobhan Hansa 14:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Passive Anger

In the passive anger section, silent treatment is mentioned as one of the types of passive anger. While the idea of being silent is truely passive, the basis for the silent treatment is to directly and immediately hurt the other person. Is this truely a passive showing of anger? I do not have a citation for this, but one would be helpful to clear up the confusion. Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.87.187.253 (talk) 14:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Agreed. This is an extremely poor article.

Following should be changed:

Depression: Description of depression is both redundant and inaccurate according to either common understanding (no references available) or clinical diagnosis (e.g. DSM-IV). Weasel words are employed e.g. 'many people believe'. Use of the phrase 'assumption' when evidence is then supplied for this statement. I would (and will, happily) argue that an assumption is an assertion without supporting evidence. Only oversleeping is referenced wrt sleep - people diagnosed as clinically depressed also undersleep - suggest replace with 'abnormal sleep patterns'.

Passive Anger: 'frigidity' - imprecise and perjorative term. 'wearing clothes associated with violent behavior' - explain and provide evidence.

Random reference to Buddhism - what?

Appears to be written from a cognitive-behavioural perspective, with no discussion of other models of anger - e.g. physiological, evolutionary.

Additional: lack of references, excessive use of declarative statements

Recommendation: Redo from start.
