-Virginia Williams, Ph.D., coauthor of Anger Kills and LifeSkills Steven uses his anger to control others.Whenever things don't go his way, he explodes and everyone gives in to him. Tara has used food to avoid her feelings for so long that she doesn't know when she is angry. Marcie is afraid of her own anger and is always afraid others are going to get angry with her. Rebecca never seems to get angry, but she has her own sneaky ways of getting back at others. Do any of these people sound familiar? Do any of them sound like you? When we refuse to own our anger, or lack healthy ways of releasing it, anger can express itself in inappropriate, counterproductive ways. In this provocative, prescriptive book, noted author and psychotherapist Beverly Engel shows you how to change all that, guiding you to positive new ways to express your anger and transforming what was once a destructive force into a catalyst for positive change. PRAISE FOR BEVERLY ENGEL'S OTHER BOOKS for The Emotionally Abusive Relationship "A good, solid treatment of an insidious but all-too-common type of relationship in which the weapons are words and moods rather than the fist, but which do just as much damage. Most importantly, Ms. Engel doesn't just describe-she shows us the way out."
-Susan Forward, Ph.D., author of Emotional Blackmail for Loving Him without Losing You "A powerful and practical guide. . .that every woman should read."
-Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D., author of Secrets About Life Every Woman Should Know and Are You the One for Me? How to better understand anger and manage it to achieve emotional health When most people think of someone having a problem with anger they think the person has a "bad temper" or is a negative and unhealthy person. But in this provocative book, respected author and therapist Beverly Engel shows how anger is in fact a normal and healthy emotion. She also describes the unhealthy anger styles, including being afraid to express anger, expressing anger in underhanded ways, and allowing others to act out your anger for you. Engel shows readers how to create an anger style that is not only healthy but life transforming. She combines prescriptive action steps with inspiring personal stories for a positive, easy-to-follow approach to managing anger, whether the problem is violent outbursts or passive-aggressive behavior.

She conducts professional training programs and has appeared on many national television shows, including Oprah, Donahue, Ricki Lake, and CNN.
