Themes Of Anger Research Articles

Grievance-fueled sexual violence.

The grievance fueled violence paradigm encompasses various forms of targeted violence but has not yet been extended to the theoretical discussion of sexual violence. In this article, we argue that a wide range of sexual offenses can be usefully conceptualized as forms of grievance fueled violence. Indeed, our assertion that sexual violence is often grievance fueled is unoriginal. More than 40 years of sexual offending research has discussed the pseudosexual nature of much sexual offending, and themes of anger, power, and control - themes that draw clear parallels to the grievance fueled violence paradigm. Therefore, we consider the opportunities for theoretical and practical advancement through the merging of ideas and concepts from the two fields. We examine the scope of grievance in the context of understanding sexual violence, and we look to the role of grievance in the trajectory toward both sexual and nonsexual violence, as well as factors that might distinguish grievance fueled sexual from nonsexual violence. Finally, we discuss future research directions and make recommendations for clinical practice. Specifically, we suggest that grievance represents a promising treatment target where risk is identified for both sexual and nonsexual violence.

‘화’를 주제로 한 그림책 비교 연구 -『쏘피가 화나면-정말, 정말 화나면…』과 『화가 둥! 둥! 둥!』을 중심으로-

본고는 어린이의 ‘화’를 다룬 그림책 『쏘피가 화나면-정말, 정말 화나면』과 『화가 둥! 둥! 둥!』을 대상으로 그림책이 어린이의 ‘화’를 어떻게 다루고 있는가를 살펴보았다. 구체적으로 글과 그림 그리고 그것들의 상호작용은 어떻게 이루어지는지, 또 구체적인 형상화 방식은 어떠한지를 고찰했다.BR 『쏘피가 화나면-정말, 정말 화나면』에서 글은 쏘피를 보는 성인서술자의 관점을 취하고 그림은 소피의 관점에서 역동적으로 묘사하며 다양한 시각적 장치들을 배치한다. 이러한 글과 그림의 조화롭지 않은 조화가 독자의 몰입을 방해하기도 하고 독자의 몰입을 부추기기도 하며, ‘화’란 감정과 그에 부수되는 폭력적 행위들을 객관적으로 보게 한다.BR 『화가 둥! 둥! 둥!』은 내 마음속에 사는 고릴라, 즉 ‘무의식 속의 나(원초아)’가 ‘현실의 나(자아)’를 이야기한다. 이 때문에 독자는 편안하게 ‘나’와 동일시하며 몰입할 수 있다. 자연히 글과 그림은 서로를 확대하고 강화하는 식으로 상호작용해 독자를 최대한 끌어들인다.BR 이 책들에 나타나는 구체적인 형상화 방식은 인물의 화를 보여주는 방식, 인물이 화를 풀어 가는 과정, 양육자의 태도로 나누어 살펴보았다. 이렇게 우리가 그림책을 통해 어린이의 화를 들여다보는 궁극적인 이유는 어린이의 마음을 깊이 이해하기 위해서이다. 화를 내는 어린이의 마음을 자세히 들여다보면 자신도 잘 알지 못하는 숨어 있는 욕망이 있다. 그 숨어 있는 욕망을 알아봐 주고 그 해결에 대해 함께 고민할 때 화는 진정으로 풀어질 것이다.

Wkurwy, złostki i pomiędzy. O wierszach Kamili Janiak

The article is focused on the theme of anger in Kamila Janiak’s poetry – its forms, types, and understanding that transpire as she develops her poetry. A paradigm of reception assumed herein as a departure point is the category of a “piss-off” (Polish vulgar noun wkurw, a strong sensation of anger), which is synonymous with intense and politically motivated indignation. The author of the article, however, attempts to show that Janiak’s poetry has been for a long time defined by other affective registers; emotions and moods in a way supressed – restricted, unfulfilled, most of all: incapable of climaxing and of “exploding.” The said state of affairs should be connected with the structure of individual and collective subjectivity appearing in Janiak’s poetry, namely, a subject that is shattered and (also politically) dispersed, lacking any devices to develop a coherent narrative, with hardly any access to political forms of anger which frequently cannot exist without consistent narrative. Instead of being expressed by one’s indignation, the said subject resorts to “little fits of pique” (a diminutive złostki is used here by Janiak), a series of minor, yet rapidly accumulating irritations, which do not find their outlet. This state of being affectively shattered may be seen in existential categories, but also political and generational ones.

Angry Preaching: A Grounded Theory Analysis from South Africa

Abstract Expressions of anger can be observed all over South Africa and by individuals and groups from different social, economic and racial backgrounds. In this article the argument is advanced that such expressions of anger can be expressions of love and signs of hope showing that people still care. Therefore, anger should not be avoided, but instead be embraced and channelled for positive ends. This article furthermore develops an argument in favour of the celebration of angry liturgies and the preaching of angry sermons as an integral part of the on-going road towards reconciliation and healing after apartheid in general and in particular it reflects on sermons preached in Afrikaans Reformed churches in South Africa on the theme of anger between 2010 and 2015. By means of content analysis, and specifically Grounded Theory, the collected sermons were analysed and a homiletical theory for praxis regarding angry preaching developed. In conclusion the theory for praxis is presented as homiletical route markers for angry preaching as one way of liturgically embracing and meaningfully channelling anger.

'Bliksem!'/Damn it! A ritual-liturgical appreciation of a deadly sin for an angry nation

This article addresses the current levels of anger within South African society from a practical theological perspective. Following a description of the current context with regard to the on-going processes of reconciliation and transformation two theories are revisited and critiqued. Normative insights are thereafter gained by making use of several stories from the book of Judges, and in conclusion an outline for a liturgical and homiletical theory for praxis is presented. The aim of this contribution as a whole is to reflect � in a praxis-theory cycle � on the theme of anger in order to formulate practical theological ritual-liturgical route markers for South Africa.

The pregnant therapist and the psychotic client: A phenomenological understanding of the impact of the therapist’s pregnancy on the therapeutic process

This original paper examines the underresearched area of therapist pregnancy. It explores the impact of psychosis as an additional complicating factor to the therapeutic process and the experience of one British counselling psychologist working in the National Health Service whilst pregnant. Five brief client summaries/clinical examples are presented to explore the common themes of anger, rejection, abandonment and envy that often emerge following the disclosure of a therapist’s pregnancy or the opposite reactions of over-protectiveness and an unwillingness to engage in therapy for fear of harming the therapist. Recommendations are made for further research within this neglected area and the need to incorporate the themes within training for therapists and training for supervisors.

Gender-Stereotyped Lessons About Emotion in Family Narratives

The present study investigated the prevalence of gender-stereotyped messages in family stories told to preschool age children. Based on previous research and theory it was expected that mothers would frame their stories with sadness and fathers would frame their stories with themes of anger. It was further expected that sons and daughters would be presented with stories that differed in emotional themes. One hundred and twenty families with preschool age children participated in the study. Mothers and fathers were asked to tell their child a story about when they were disappointed as a child. Two hundred and four stories were coded for themes of sadness, anger, mixed sadness and anger, and no emotional frame. Contrary to predictions, there were relatively few stories told with an anger frame. Mothers overall tended to tell disappointment stories with a frame of sadness. Fathers overall were more likely to use no emotional frame in their stories. Mothers were more likely to tell stories with sadness frames to their daughters than to sons. Two examples are provided that illustrate an instrumental focus of fathers' stories and the emotional content of mothers' stories. The process of creating meaningful stories may be an important avenue that parents use to impart gender-related values to their children.

Changing Medical Practice and Medical Malpractice Claims

I use statistical data to describe the populations of malpractice claims in New York and Massachusetts, and in-depth interviews with physicians and claimants to explore the human side of medical malpractice claims. I argue that medical malpractice claims are associated with tertiary medical care delivered within a business setting. Several major themes emerge from my analysis. There is a strong distinction between physicians' and claimants' definitions of medical outcomes. Physicians judge medical outcomes in terms of generally accepted medical practice. In contrast, patients judge medical outcomes in terms of how their lives have changed. Physicians voice their concerns about the uncertainty in the practice of medicine. Marginalization, which occurs when physicians push their patients' personal and social concerns related to their treatment to the periphery, is a major concern of claimants. The physicians' interviews also contain themes of anger, distrust of patients, and defensive medicine; patients' themes include anger, vindication, and deference towards their former physicians. Finally, some physicians and claimants view medicine more as a business rather than as a humanistic institution.

The mental health relevance of idioms of distress. Anger and perceptions of injustice among New York Puerto Ricans.

Cultural sensitivity in mental health research is enhanced by examining the collective perceptions of members of ethnic groups about their own idiomatic expressions of distress. Such an examination was conducted with Puerto Ricans living in New York City, beginning with focus group discussions. Their prevailing idioms of distress, based upon themes of anger and injustice, were correlated widely with professionally developed measures of anxiety, depression, and somatization and with utilization of professional mental health care. By examining the relationship between idioms of distress, saliently volunteered by members of the ethnic ingroup, on the one hand, and professional care and assessments of mental health, on the other, we increase our culturally based understanding of mental health in the community.
