Biblical narratives of anger and its contemporary psychological implications / Nelly Z. Limbadan

The psychology of anger presupposes its natural occurrence along with basic human emotions such as happiness, sadness and many more. Although anger research is not very popular, scientists-practitioners have attempted to investigate and test methods and interventions to manage anger. The current paper is built on four objectives. First, it aims to capture what psychology has perceived of anger by looking at its nature while correspondingly reviewing the literature of what has been done; works of notable researchers and experts are used as theoretical guide. Second, there is an attempt to use the Holy Bible as a subsidiary source for materials that can possibly evoke response and reflection. Thirdly, these experiences are related to the present time via varied psychological analyses; the viewpoints that are raised in this section are from the perspective of a psychology practitioner rather than that of a Bible scholar. Lastly, this analysis is viewed in terms of its applicability to psychotherapy and psychological intervention in contemporary society especially as applied to the Filipino Christian clientele through an anger transformation model.
