The Angry Self: A Comprehensive Approach to Anger Management

Designed as a workbook to be used directly by the client - inside or outside the therapy room - The Angry Self presents a framework that includes cognitive-behavioral strategies, Ericksonian tenets, and relaxation techniques. Building on a combination of these ideas, the author has created a cohesive course of action to help clients expand their communication and response vocabulary. By following this workbook, clients will learn first to identify their anger and then to loosen its grip on their lives. Perhaps most significant, they will discover ways to take that energy - energy previously spent on anger and its ramifications - and redirect it toward creating solutions. The Angry Self offers a crucial perspective for all those who are caught in a cycle of anger. It offers a sequence of strategies to help them break through years of reflexive behavior. It offers, finally, a realistic and enduring blueprint for well-being.
