Clinical Case of a Schizotypal Personality Disorder: Rumination-Focused CBT for Anger Rumination Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy Pub Date : 2021-04-08 S. B. Moeller, V. Kvist, J. E. Jansen, E. R. Watkins
Anger dysregulation is part of a broad range of clinical disorders, and as a dynamic risk factor for aggression anger is highly relevant in clinical populations. Problems of anger and reactive aggression are trans-diagnostic and treatments should target the mechanisms involved in problematic anger across disorders.
