I purchased this book to use as a resource for teens that I work with. I currently have two teens who are using this independently and it has been helpful in structuring our psychotherapy sessions.

In my work as a public high school counselor, I have found this timely workbook on Anger Management for Teens to be enormously helpful. The 'anger questionnaire' and guidelines on 'scheduling times' to work on particular aspects of anger have been particularly useful. I have already recommended this workbook to several colleagues and family members. If you or someone you know struggles with teen anger (or even adult anger), this workbook can definitely help you out.

I highly recommend this resource! The exercises in this workbook promote self-reflection as well as help teens develop better communication skills. As a licensed school counselor and professional counselor, I've reached for this workbook time and time again. Furthermore, as a supervisor I've recommended this workbook to my supervisees as a "must have" for their library. Great workbook! One of the best!

I am a mental health counselor working with adolescents aged 13-18. After looking through these books (anger and anxiety by the same author), I don't think it's fair to market this to teens. My clients were offended by the youthfulness of the exercises and would not even humor me to engage in the worksheets. As a clinician I can look at the workbooks and see that they do have good stuff in them that is worth discussion, but the actual worksheets/workbook are more appropriate for pre-teens 10-12ish. Just my opinion though, it's possible it's just my particular population/region.

I bought this book to use at work with juveniles in the corrections system. The first 5 "chapters" are pretty boring (at least that's what the kids say) but they like it past that. Each "chapter" is anywhere from 2 to 4 pages long. There's a short paragraph or two with instructions and narratives that go along with each lesson. Then there are activities for them to fill in. Some of the activities require more thought than others and some (like the weekly self monitoring exercises) take a week or so to fill in. My company bought the other books in this series on dealing with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, etc. As of yet, this is the first one that I've used but all seem to follow the similar format. Everything is easy to read for those of average intelligence. It's also a great tool to use for individual discussions and round table or group discussions. I look forward to using the rest of the series if they're anything like this one.

I purchased this book to use with middle school and high school students. It was way about their cognitive ability as well as their self awareness. This book has a lot of writing and self reflecting. If someone ONLY has an anger issue, this could be the book they need. I would look for another resource if in addition to anger there is a cognitive or writing deficit, conduct issues, or language issues. I am going to keep my copy since it does have great activities and different presentation of material than other books I have. You'd just need to know how to differentiate the work.

This is a good tool to work with aggressive and anger issues with adolescents. I've been using this in the detention center and the kids seems to understand the skills. The manual is very straight forward and easy to understand for them.

This is an excellent resource to use with individuals that have anger management problems. It is very well planned and organized with the best exercises at your fingertips. Each assignment is thought provoking and sequentially designed to provide an individual with the tools necessary to help manage and control their anger.

I gave this book to my 12 year old son. It has simple short chapters which focus on feelings consequences of actions. Great consequence for when he hits his brother.

I'm a Social Work intern at a local high school. This book is a great tool. It's easy for students to understand, it's not too wordy, it's reflective...I'm looking forward to purchasing more from this publisher.
