Description: Angry and aggressive adolescent boys are often blind to the problems of others, yet hypersensitive to slight criticisms directed to themselves. A boy’s experience of the world as not conforming to how he believes it ‘should’ be causes intolerable tension-aggression is one method of making the world fit, albeit with ultimately self-destructive results. In this edited extract from his new book Doing Anger Differently, MICHAEL CURRIE, draws on the case of John to illustrate the value of enhancing an aggressive adolescent boy’s existing ethical and moral views to assist him to arrive at a point where he can act ethically to move towards what he wants for himself. Currie emphasizes the importance of an internal law that each individual must find for himself and take up, whether he knows it or not.
