Anger management helps the individual deal with their feelings in an assertive not aggressive manner. This is the healthiest way to express oneself without hurting others. Being assertive helps make a person’s needs clear without behaving in a demanding manner. Expression is just one of three approaches utilized by clinical social workers when dealing with anger management. What are the other two?
  1. Suppressing and calming
  2. Passive-aggressive and transference
  3. Criticism and behavior
  4. Respect and hostility
Explanation
Answer: A - The correct manner of suppressing anger is by redirecting it into something constructive. If this is not done in an outward expression, anger can remain inward and cause hypertension, depression and high blood pressure. Unexpressed anger can often lead to passive-aggressive behavior or a hostile personality.
