CALM (Controlling Anger and Learning to Manage It Program) is based on the premise of "Anger and aggression appear to be part of a complex, inborn response to (primarily physical) threat. The prevalence of anger and aggression suggests that it is impossible to eliminate them completely. However, it is desirable and feasible to reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of anger, especially when no real danger exists. The reduction of these aspects of anger will help to lessen the likelihood of the occurrence of aggression, the cluster of behaviors associated with the feeling of anger."
