Reactive Anger”

Since an early age, Kendall has had what most people called a “short fuse.” Because he would always argue and start fights, it became difficult for him to make friends during his school years. In addition, nothing seemed to curb the angry response Kendall displayed when his parents tried to discipline him. Aside from his inability to control his temper, Kendall was intelligent and athletic. He made good grades and engaged in competitive sports. Social relationships remained an issue as he was controlling and impulsive.

After graduating from college, Kendall works in a pharmaceutical laboratory. Co-workers describe him as “touchy” and “easily ticked off,” but very brilliant and efficient at what he does. On one particular day, Kendall is unable to contain his anger over an incident in which a lab technician makes an error in a chemical formula. Kendall becomes so irate and angry, he throws the flask across the room narrowly missing the young technician’s head. The technician runs out of the lab screaming that “Ken has lost it this time.” Kendall is put on leave from the company and is required to enter treatment for anger management.

1. How are anger and aggression evident in Kendall’s situation?

2. In what ways might Kendall’s behavior be a conditioned response?

3. What methods might be used to help him diffuse some
