Anger management is a psycho-therapeutic program for anger prevention and control. It has been described as deploying anger successfully.

Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked or thwarted from something the subject feels is important. Anger can also be a defensive response to underlying fear or feelings of vulnerability or powerlessness.

Anger management programs consider anger to be a motivation caused by an identifiable reason which can be logically analyzed and addressed.
