Description

This text offers a step-by-step guide for coping with anger: keeping the emotion safe; learning to tolerate its sometimes overwhelming intensity; evaluating its often disguised objectives; relinquishing impossible aims; and realistically employing its power to obtain critical goals. This practical approach explains why what works in one social situation may not work in another. Fein explains the sequence of steps necessary to make controlled anger effective. Throughout, he provides examples of men and women trying to control their anger and put it to work for them. He includes specific applications, such as the place of anger in families and in the work-place.
