Reviews
"Anger is an emotion that we all experience in varying degrees. However, intense and poorly modulated anger can greatly interfere with clients' efforts at a central goal of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): 'building a life worth living.' This compassionately written and motivating workbook is an essential resource for helping clients to understand, express, and effectively manage their anger in nondestructive ways. By teaching clients to apply core DBT skills specifically to help them cope with and manage their anger, this book is an indispensable and potentially life-changing therapeutic tool."—Lori N. Scott, PhD, assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and clinical psychologist and researcher with expertise in emotion dysregulation, aggression, and treatment approaches for borderline personality disorder

A must-read for anyone interested in reducing problematic anger, improving relationships, and enhancing inner peace."—Raymond Chip Tafrate, PhD, professor and clinical psychologist in the department of criminology and criminal justice at Central Connecticut State University, coeditor of Forensic CBT, and coauthor of Anger Management for Everyone
