ellenkushnerI caught part of this discussion on today's broadcast of WNYC's always excellent "The Leonard Lopate Show;" pretty darned enlightening. You can hear it or download to MP3 at the website.
What actually is anger? And what does it do to you and to others? On this week’s Please Explain, Dr. William Gerin, of the Behavorial Cardiovascular Health and Hypertension Program at Columbia University School of Medicine, and Dr. Emil F. Coccaro, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Chicago, take your questions about anger and aggression.

Date: 2008-01-05 04:37 am (UTC)I'm interested in learning what his findings are. I know a lot of martial artist/sword fighter friends of mine liked to "use the darkside" (get mad and use the anger) when they competed in their younger days, to push themselves through pain and turn off the conscience to hit harder and move faster and break the other guy's will or maybe get a cheap shot in. And all of them now have tricky elbows or knees or things much worse wrong with them.
Thanks for the info!
