Short /annotation:
Unusually, this workbook allows readers to begin at a higher level of anger rather than combatting anger-provoking trigger thoughts at low anger levels. The techniques are designed to be tailored to suit individual needs and include coping skills such as relaxation, anger logs and thought lists.

Unfortunately, readers who finally realisethatthey need to work on their anger don”t always have the patience topage through a complicated set of exercises, or makea commitment to alengthy process with the promise of a positive outcome somewhere downthe road. Thankfully, the new model of anger control introduced in THEANGER CONTROL WORKBOOK is based on a radically simplified approach thatgives readers the tools they need to manage their anger in theirday-to-day lives.
