Abstract

Anger is defined with reference to a cognitive-motivational perspective. This forms the basis for identifying the variety of reasons why pain sufferers are angry and the many ways in which they react when angry. Statistics are provided for the comorbidity of anger in chronic pain and headache. Going beyond such statistics, five dynamic interactions between anger and pain are emphasized and empirical evidence is provided for each of these interactions.
