I'd say actually pathologises it, to be fair. I read Askamanager, Dear Prudence and AITA (probably others) and I do not recognise this leap to "Any display of temper is by definition ABUSE!" I mean, I'm aware that it can be a sign of it, but it can also be healthy self-defence (a colleague who fostered dogs was very against dog-training programmes which penalised growling on the basis that growling was a warning but biting was a THING.)
