A psychoanalyst's ground-breaking exploration of the taboo emotion of anger, and its impact on our personal and political lives, from the acclaimed author of Not Working.
Anger is all around us, from divisive social media arguments and heightened political divides to road rage and personal spats; from Black Lives Matter and climate justice movements to Trump, incels and white supremacists. When it materialises, it seems to cry out for recognition and response. It affects our bodies and can transition into violence. It can be inherited through the generations; it can manifest in criminal acts. What should we do with it, and can it ever be put to good use?

Drawing on case studies of patients, developments in neuropsychology, literature, philosophy and recent political events, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Josh Cohen identifies the different forms of anger, including the most untrammelled and elemental fury, the more cynical anger that works towards political unrest, and the questioning anger of political protest. Rather than an emotion to ignore, he argues that anger is a primary human feeling. It maps itself onto every aspect of our intimate lives while politically and culturally shaping our world.

In a time of intense dissatisfactions and spiralling divisions, and with anger a dominating force, All the Rage offers a new and original understanding of anger, so we may better handle the rage within us.

JOSH COHEN is a psychoanalyst in private practice and Professor of Modern Literary Theory at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is the author of Not Working: Why We Have To Stop (Granta, 2018); The Private Life: Why We Remain in the Dark (Granta, 2013), and How to Read Freud (Granta, 2005), as well as other books and articles on psychoanalysis, cultural theory and modern literature.
