This book explodes many popular myths about anger and includes
important information, much of it new, about the causes, effects,
triggers and behaviour patterns of anger and aggression: why anger
is a natural 'fight of flight' response, and essential for our
survival; what happens when we get angry; how excessive anger can
inhibit physical and mental health, as well as general wellbeing;
how to avoid common triggers for anger; how to predict anger
outbursts in yourself and others; hy venting angry feelings will
not make anger go away, and could in fact increase it; and, why
talking about angry feelings rarely helps - especially for men.It
also explores: the connection between anger and depression; how to
inoculate yourself against stress and anger; the importance of
teaching communication skills to people in order to convert anger
impulses into controlled responses, particularly in children; a
simple yet effective technique to use every day: the life model of
effective communication; and, using body language to build rapport
and lower the emotional temperature of a situation."The Human
Givens Approach" series was launched in 2004 with How to lift
depression...fast. This immediately became a top-selling book and
consistently held the No.1 position for books about depression on
Amazon for a year after its launch. In May 2005, "Freedom from
Addiction" was published to critical acclaim and the most recent
book, "How to Master Anxiety" (published in November 2006) has
featured in many healthcare and women's magazines. Each book in the
series explores a recognised psychological or behavioural problem
and shows in clear, non-jargonistic language how to treat it
effectively. They all include new knowledge not found elsewhere.
Future titles will cover: psychosis, disturbed children,
self-harming, workplace stress, antisocial behaviour, ageing,
disability and saving families."Release from Anger" explains why
rage and aggression is on the increase in our society and offers
strategies to curb excessive anger in yourself and others - at
home, in the workplace, in public and even whilst driving. Based on
the human givens approach to psychotherapy, it contains
science-based insights into human behaviour, our innate emotional
needs and how to get them met so that you can control inappropriate
anger outbursts. It deals with appropriate anger, anger as an
addiction and anger disorders, including what happens when
compulsive, angry outbursts are driven by 'molar memories', and the
ongoing stress this can cause us all.Down-to-earth and
easy-to-read, "Release from Anger" explains the difference between
healthy anger and destructive anger, and why anger is a natural
survival strategy. It goes on to give clear advice and practical
examples of what to do when confronted with excess inappropriate
anger, either your own or someone else's. It explains what happens,
both mentally and physiologically, to our bodies when anger
suddenly erupts and why 'angry people' die young. The book shows
how effective communication skills, verbal and non-verbal, can
often unlock the trance-like state of anger and diffuse aggression
in even potentially violent situations.The book is full of
informative case studies - ranging from anger in children, autistic
anger and anger related to workplace bullying - together with
examples from psychotherapists' case books which show how they work
with people suffering from anger disorders.
