Catharsis Science Fiction Paperback Book by Tom Purdom Berkley 1971

Imagine a world of the future in which the entire population is carefully tranquilized. 

This tranquilization is accomplished by means of an intricate catharsis apparatus which monitors everyone's dreams, and detects and immediately reduces all tension, anxiety, grief and aggression. 

Suddenly violence erupts in this paradise, and its inhabitants are faced with the choice of reactivating their fighting instincts fast, or being exterminated...
