Sound-Rage, commonly known as “Misophonia,” is a little known disorder characterized by an anger response to certain sounds. Gum popping, food chewing, nose sniffing, pen clicking… fingers pointing, legs swinging, hair twirling…. For the vast majority of people, these sounds and sights are meaningless. For a small minority of the population, these sounds and sights are triggers that lead to instant rage and set off a physiological urge to flee. The primer presents groundbreaking research on the neurobiology and psychology of the disorder, and provides compelling evidence that “Sound-Rage” is a neurological, developmental disorder that alters neural processes in the brain. It discusses why cognitive behavior therapy is the most effective treatment for reducing symptoms.

A little dissapointed.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 31, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book was very interesting and seemed to delve quite well into what Misophonia is and is not and the symptoms it presents. However, it seemed to me that Judith tended to regard Misophonia as "an all or nothing" condition in that people always experience this condition in a fully fledged way, yet my own case seems to suggest that individuals vary in their susceptibility to Misophonia depending on their specific circumstances. In my view, there probably exists a spectrum of Misophonia sufferers, from extreme at one end to fairly mild at the other and that people can be unaware that they have this condition for years until something in their life activates it. In other words, the potential for falling victim to the unpleasant symptoms of Misophonia can be there but until enough stress is experienced won't necessarily present in an acute way. I feel Judith did not make this quite clear enough and perhaps some people who read this book go away not realising they do have this condition because they do not fit the typical pattern shown earlier in life.

A important contribution to science

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2013

Verified Purchase

Sound rage is a ground-breaking and methodical study of a formerly unspecified condition that I believe is common. Defining sound rage as Ms Krauthamer does while describing specific symptoms is very useful for addressing the condition. Her emphasis on anger vs a violent response is insightful and helpful in understanding the role of emphathy in therapy. She provides a well-thought-out comparison to recognized mental disorders and specifies clearly how sound rage is unique. She has delved into a new and important aspect of psychology. I know several people in my world who suffer from the condition. How to get them to read the book? Ms Krauthamer has provided the worlds of science and psychology with a gift. It is very possible that natural survival instincts that serve us well in the wilderness (listening for the snapping of twigs as indicators of predator approach) don't adapt well to our modern, boxed-in society with noisy movie theaters and chewing gum snappers.

The study of sound rage is incomplete, by the author's own words, and she emphasizes that this is a beginning. first define the condition, show how it compares and contrasts to other well specified illnesses and then begin the study of best therapies. Her logic in this way is remarkable. That's why I rank this book with 5 stars and recommend it to all who study the human mind and seek to advance their understanding of human psychology.

you HAVE to read this book you or someone in your life is bothered by sounds

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2014

The first generally available book ever to explain what's going on in the brain with this condition.
It is a developmental neurological sensory disorder, separate from history of trauma or PTSD. That being said, trauma such as acquired brain injury can definitely make misophonia more difficult to deal with.
While reading this book, I was getting rather disheartened when getting to the end of the book and seeing no help on how to deal with it.
Those suggestions are in the last few pages and many of us who have been living with this for decades are already using some of these methods. For people who are just becoming aware of having this condition, these suggestions will be very useful. Especially what you can do to stop it getting worse. Which it will...
Counsellors, doctors and shrinks tho are usually stuck on the idea that misophonia is caused by childhood trauma and want to investigate those issues futhur, which can help one deal with that stuff, but doesn't help the sound rage.
Please, please, please read this book, and talk about it; just knowing what the condition is helps tremendously with how it affects you.
My life could have been so different if I knew ....

Finally, a book about misophonia!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

I've suffered with misophonia for over thirty years and I was so excited to read this book. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! I could relate to so much of what Krauthamer wrote that I even put colored sticky tabs at all the sentences that really hit home with me. It's more highlighted than any of my curriculum books from undergrad/grad school!

In addition to the diverse supporting examples as told by other sufferers, Krauthamer delves into the science of the condition; but explains it in such a way that it is understandable by the layperson (like myself) as well. As frustrating as misophonia is to experience, it's exciting to know that the author is helping to promote more awareness about the condition. I've already given a copy to my parents and plan to buy additional copies to give to my employer, key doctors with whom I sought help but who knew nothing about the condition, and other people in my life to help them understand what I'm going through!

Kudos Judith, and thanks for publishing such a helpful book!

Too Technical

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

This book was discussed quite a bit on a misophonia blog that I read regularly, so I couldn't wait to read it. Maybe I'm losing my mental capacity, and maybe I should have read the title more carefully before ordering the book, but I found it to be too technical. I enjoyed reading the personal accounts of various people, but the technical stuff didn't speak to me. I'm going to pass the book on to someone else.

Very important and insightful first solid book on Misophonia

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have suffered with Misophonia (Sound-Rage) for 55 years. Suffered in silence and shame since I didn't know what it was or that it had a name. But I do now.
It is clearly a neurological disorder (not a hearing condition) and must be understood and treated as such if it will ever be cured. Ms. Krauthamer has done a
wonderful job of making this complex condition more understandable. Great insights into how the brain works and how this condition most likely operates. Many
more studies will be needed to completely understand Misophonia and the author does an admirable job, after a year of research, of making this more understandable.
I hope she writes a follow-up as more information becomes available. My hat is off to Judith T. Krauthamer for her interesting and readable primer into Misophonia.

Timley, engaging and enlightening overview.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

I didn't even know I suffered this until a few weeks ago. It is a difficult illness to diagnose, for you tend to see your "sound rage" as a bi-product of stress rather than the other way around. After reading this book, though, it all falls into place and you can see how it keeps you in a Gordian knot of anxiety and stress.

The book is in three parts. An overview of the illness (which includes many examples of people describing how it effects their life--the best part of the book for me); the middle section is a psychological analysis of the condition using modern psychological models; and finally there is a very useful section detailing possible treatments and therapy.

As I say, the most useful thing for me was simply reading about others experiences and realising how much of it is relevant to what you experience. So many times, I thought "my god, yes, that's just what it is like!" If nothing else, this section will give you the confidence to establish you do have this disorder (which in itself is a huge relief after years or thinking you were crazy!)

The middle section, for me, was something I skimmed through initially. I was more concerned with learning how to deal with it than the science as to why it is happening. It does provide a detailed analysis, though, and should be read later, when you have decided on some form of management plan.

Unfortunately there is no current "cure" for Misophonia. The author does recommend several therapies (in the final section), though, that can help to reduce the symptoms (such as CBT, medication and mindfulness meditation). There is also a useful chapter on "hypervigilance", which is something you do not realise effects you constantly (being continually on edge and unable to concentrate in case a trigger sound happens).

Personally (after reading how many people manage to do work with the condition), I've bought myself a Walkman and some noise cancelling headphones (along with some white noise/rainfall MP3s--by "Sound Dreamer" on Amazon). This has helped me to concentrate much better and (through listening to classical music in the evenings) reduced the overall time I am "hypervigilant"--and therefore the overall time that I'm stressed. I already feel much brighter--you don't realise how much this condition drags you down until you accept and start combatting its effects--but I'm also considering going to the doctor to see about CBT and/or some medication.

The most therapeutic aspect, though, is simply realising this is what you have. For that reason alone, if somebody eating or throat-clearing or lip-smacking makes you want to tear down the walls in anger then I urge you to order this book!

Interesting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have been told I possibly have 'misophonia' so I bought this book. It is an interesting book, going into the scientific theories behind the condition, but it is not too hard to read. My only criticism is that the author claims that people only go into 'flight' mode when hearing a trigger sound as I, and many others, go into fight mode. More information on that would have been helpful. Otherwise it was very informative and interesting.

This is a thoroughly researched book, I could not recommend highly enough, if you have this disorder look no further in gaining the insight, and therefore understanding of this complex nuisance which can help cope with misophonia.
