"Violent Emotions" investigates the role of alienation and shame as the source of repetitious cycles of conflict. Theories and research from large-scale conflict, marital dispute and communication processes are reviewed and provide a background for the author's new integrative theory. This theory - with its research and practical implications - is applied to four case studies of marital quarrels which advance understanding of conflict escalation and resolution. The data generated is extremely useful for preventive and predictive measures in early marital problems and provides insight into the dynamics of family and other forms of violence.
