"...gives the reader a useful toolkit that reaches beyond the scope
of previous treatments of anger and its management. The clinical material
is well rounded, with particularly astute commentary on personality
factors, interpersonal dynamics and the role and management of anger
within and outside the client-treater relationship. The book is also
generously referenced, facilitating further pursuit of the topic from
various viewpoints.
With the
understanding and enthusiasm of excellent teachers, these authors lead
the reader through a labyrinth of relevant and substantive material...
this work has the depth and readability to expand the reader's
appreciation of anger in its many guises.

"Now we can have hope, because Anger Management will help the
clinician as much as it will help the patient.
"Kassinove and Tafrate provide an excellent
guide to understanding and modifying anger. This is a highly practical
book, with many powerful clinical interventions, written by two leading
experts on anger who show great clinical sensitivity. I highly recommend
this thought-provoking and very useful book."

"Is it possible for academically based clinical psychologists to
produce a clinical treatise suitable for the training of clinical graduate
students, yet have equal value and meaning to experienced working
clinicians? The answer is a strong yes! This has been achieved...in their
excellent new work on anger management."
