Popis: The aim of this paper is to explore the state of the art about the connection between anger and sexual behavior in eterosexual couples. After a description of anger in psychiatric and psychological literature, the Authors review the available studies about anger-sexuality relationship from theorethical, clinical and experimental point of view. They conclude that there is, till now, a significant confusion about the question. Therefore, Authors suggest a new approach to this problem, due to the possible relevance of the topic in clinical practice. Despite the complexity of this research area, there is a need of clarification regarding methodological trends and clinical perspectives. Authors suggest the relevance of such a research for the understanding of sexual behavior, sexual couples problems and the finding of treatment strategies for anger problems connected to sexual behavior.
