> Anger suppression is important in our daily life, as its failure can sometimes lead to the breaking down of relationships in families. Thus, effective strategies to suppress or neutralise anger have been examined

This attitude is a problem in our society. Anger ends up being destructive because we think we have to suppress it or neutralize it. This just increases its strength over time until it explodes out violently. I doubt the strategy in the paper is any more than a temporary suppression of the emotion.

We need to recognize that anger is a valid emotion just like any other. Anger becomes dangerous because we demonize it without trying to understand it, which just gives it strength in the long run.
