Curare la rabbia, rifiutare la violenza. Take care of anger, reject violence.

The paper proposes a reflection on a particular aspect of violence, namely that linked to inadequate anger management. In particular, it is shown how such anger can be interpreted as an attempt to adapt to injuries in primary functioning. This term refers to those primary acquisitions that constitute the basic trust and are articulated in the continuity of the self, the perception of boundaries, and the sense of belonging. By means of a clinical vignette, some of these fragilities are exemplified, and the issues of justice and care, and the appropriateness of caring for fragilities and protecting society are questioned.
