Customer Reviews

One of the Best Books on Anger Management

Dr. Schiraldi has written an excellent guide to helping anyone to manage anger. With so many books on the subject out there it is hard for the untrained person to choose which is best. As a clinical psychologist, I can highly recommend this book. It offers easy assessment exercises, practical self help techniques and useful guidance for living a more peaceful life. I frequently recommend or give this book to my own patients. Thank you for such a wonderful contribution to anger management!

Excellent Anger/Stress Management Resource

I found this book to be extremely helpful and user-friendly for a range of target audiences, both academic and non-academic. It could be used not only in anger/stress management courses, but also as a self-help book for adults or even teens. Unlike a lot of other anger/stress management resources, this book creates a program that moves from basic principles to skills-building to application in a way that I found to be particularly effective. The authors use a holistic approach to anger/stress management, covering all aspects of health--physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual--which is especially important in addressing this issue. Great book, and very affordable too.

Great Common Sense Ideas

I found this to be a very helpful, common sense treatment which I have utilized in numerous situations.

An Outstanding Contribution to the Anger Management Literature

Drs. Schiraldi and Kerr have collaborated to produce a comprehensive, well written, holistic guide to this complex field. It offers practical steps and experiential excercises for both the layman and professionals. This book is a must read for all adults who are struggling with anger and interpersonal conflict in their lives. As a licensed child psychologist, I can attest that parents will find the Drills and Reflection sections particularly helpful when dealing with the stresses of managing conflict at home.

Long Overdue Resource for A Neglected Subject

This is an excellent resource for teaching anger management. It is skillfully written after an exhaustive review of the literature and provides many concise and practical approaches to anger management. The reader will find it easy reading and enjoy the thoughtful way it is organized. Well done Dr. Schiraldi.Bruce B. Hill, MD
