Anger is a primary emotional state signaling boundary violations, perceived injustice, or blocked goals; aggression represents overt verbal or physical motor behaviour intended to inflict harm or establish dominance; and impulse control deficits denote the failure to resist an urge or temptation that is harmful to oneself or others. Grounded in Raymond Novaco’s Cognitive-Behavioural Anger Framework (1975) and Leonard Berkowitz’s Neo-Associationistic Model of Aggression, anger problems involve a volatile triad: physiological hyperarousal, hostile cognitive appraisals (attributing deliberate malicious intent to ambiguous actions), and maladaptive behavioural scripts. The Anger, Aggression and Impulse Control Psychoeducation Module<\/strong> contains 23 structured video lessons detailing arousal titration, cognitive reappraisal, and impulse response delays.<\/p>\n
