Anger management has traditionally been seen as a male domain, but a number of courses cater to females, writes Caroline Illingworth.
In her mums' group in Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs, Angie Perugini is known as the happy, laughing one, the one who "always gets things done". Yet a few months ago, her bubbly facade belied the fact that, inside, she was seething with rage.
