A workbook for working out anger problems

I didn't expect this to be in a workbook format but it is and, as such, I recommend it to those who want to learn how to manage their anger so it doesn't manage them. It is clearly written and allows time for the reader to absorb the first step before taking the second, etc. It provokes deep thoughtfulness and courageous changes. I recommend it for self-help and to professional therapists/counsellors who haven't learned these skills. I am a psychologist who was never given anger management training or information and this nicely caught me up.

Relieving Anger Proudly and with Grace

Miriam Gottlieb's "The Angry Self" is a complete guide to anger management for individuals who want to help themself as well as for people who prefer to work with therapists. Her style is clear and bright, replete with imaginative anecdotes and interesting accounts at each stage of anger work that blend gracefully into this logicially arranged, slender, easy to follow self-help workbook. Throughout, we're asked to complete inventories and worksheets to tune us in to our own emotional natures and ways of thinking when we're angry or faced with tough decisions about values. "The Angry Self" provides a graceful, enjoyable, and effective way to tackle all sorts of anger problems.

From powerless to powerful!

I am a graduate student of Social Work at Columbia University. In search of a tool to use with an adolescent client, I came upon The Angry Self. As a student, I was apprehensive about using a workbook to tackle anger management. But I truly believe that the guidelines and tasks in this book turned my client's life around. It was so clear and fun, even to an adolescent, that it practically did the work without me! I learned right along with my client and the theraputic relationship grew and went to a whole new level. Thank you Dr. Gottlieb for sharing your knowledge! I would recommend this book to clients,students, and professors alike!
