Although the expression of anger has been considered useful in many forms of therapy, it has been looked at mainly from the psychodynamic point of view. This article suggests that the expression of anger, especially when accompanied with verbal or physical violence, is harmful to the body, mind, and soul. The author encourages people to go underneath the anger to more genuine feelings without dwelling at the anger-expression level. He considers the genetic and physical as well as the psychodynamic aspects of anger, and from his own personal experience, talks about love as a strong force for healing.
