Anger influences change in specific PTSD symptoms over time among military veterans in treatment and may interfere with treatments for PTSD.

The findings have additional implications for conceptual models of the relationship between anger and PTSD. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).
