This study discusses al-Ghazali's theory of spiritual therapy in managing emotional disorders. There are numerous types of emotional disorders but the attention of this study is on the anger emotion. The objective of this study is also to explore the causes of emotional anger in human beings and examine the theory put forward by al-Ghazali regarding the management of anger particularly as an emotional disorder. This study is a qualitative study and among the methods used is to collect and analyse documents to understand or recognise the concept of anger from the psychological point of view and psychotherapy by al-Ghazali. The results of the study show that anger emotion is included in anxiety disorder since it will lead to psychiatric illness and affect social interactions. In fact, studies show that anger emotion is not a disease but an expression of the emotion of a person who is facing many issues and pressures in life that could cause various negative reactions. However, the anger emotion experienced by a person is normal but it is necessary to control the emotion appropriate to the therapy as has been put forward by al-Ghazali through his psychospiritual methods.
