Unfortunately, readers who finally realise that they need to work on their anger don't always have the patience to page through a complicated set of exercises, or make a commitment to a lengthy process with the promise of a positive outcome somewhere down the road. Thankfully, the new model of anger control introduced in THE ANGER CONTROL WORKBOOK is based on a radically simplified approach that gives readers the tools they need to manage their anger in their day-to-day lives.

Media Reviews

The Anger Control Workbook .. .carefully and clearly shows how feelings of anger rip up people's guts, destroy their relationships, and have many other disadvantages...Indicates how readers can constructively work--and keep working--to minimize anger and rage...Includes many exceptionally useful and practical self-help techniques and exercises. A fine workbook!
--Albert Ellis, Ph.D., President, Albert Ellis Instistute, New York, and author, A Guide to Rational Living


In The Anger Control Workbook, the reader learns by showing and telling...by rehearsing, trying out, and modifying. Delightfully, it addresses issues sometimes overlooked in self-help material...why anger is hard to give up and reasons why change may be difficult. McKay and Rogers provide a clear, concise, highly readable and user-friendly book on personal anger reduction. A good book to become a scuffed-up friend in the continued efforts at anger reduction.
--Jerry Deffenbacher, Ph.D., Anger Researcher, professor, Dept. of Psychology, Colorado State University, Fort Collins


.. .anyone reading this book and working the exercises will certainly develop the skills with which they can really control their anger and live happier lives. A job well done that helps people cope with the frustrations of day to day life.
--Dr. Ronald T. Potter-Efron, Ph.D., author, Letting Go of Anger, Angry All the Time, and Working Anger
