5.0 out of 5 stars A very practical, helpful and effective workbook., November 9, 1999

By	james c. vogelzang (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This workbook is a very effective, practical and useful tool to better understand and manage anger. As with all self-help workbooks, the reader must be serious about learning or fixing their own anger problem. I found it very relieving and a source of peace to finally have a solution to the problem of anger.I coupled it with my Christian beliefs and found it effective. The author understands the problem and deals with it in on-nonsense fashion. But, the reader must WORK at the process. If you're angery and don't know why or if you're angry and want to fix the problem, save the $110.00 per hour you'll pay a shrink and do this book first...they are probably copying his outline anyway!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly practical!!, October 22, 2006

By	E. Beckmann "Em" (Missouri) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As recommended by my graduate instructor, I used this book as a resource for my counseling internship and have helped me devise exercises for clients with anger management problems. It addresses the different angles of anger - including nutrition! in the most user-friendly and accessible manner. It is chock-full of practical steps designed to address different sets of client needs. Do not be fooled by the date of publication - this book is as current today as it was when it was first published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works if you really want to change., October 11, 2006

By	CSD (Edmond, OK USA) - See all my reviews

One of the finest, if not the finest book of its kind. People who are interested in this item need to understand that it requires actual effort, and the results are usually going to be correlated to the effort put in.
