Anger and Forgiveness: Fourth Edition

By Raymond Lloyd Richmond

Book Overview

BOOK DESCRIPTION Fourth Edition This Fourth Edition incorporates many changes to the text made since the printing of the Third Edition. Deeply profound and yet elegantly simple insight into ANGER AND FORGIVENESS. This book provides much needed clarity about two topics often misunderstood in contemporary culture. Most of us carry more anger in our hearts than we are capable of admitting even to ourselves. As a result, we often become stuck in lives of unfulfilled potential, unending resentments, and physical illness. In this book, Dr. Richmond explains the deep psychological implications of anger and forgiveness and shows how to turn the emotional wounds of daily life into psychological growth. The book also provides information about how anger and a lack of forgiveness can lead to clinical depression.
