Violence critically threatens our society & everybody in it. Strangely, very few people even among the so-called "experts" understand where all our violence & our taste for it comes from. Few stop to think that violent behavior is ANGRY behavior & that a beginning way to deal with it is to understand something about the anger that triggers it, both in ourselves & in others. To give such an understanding & to equip the reader by means of simple, extensively illustrated examples with the skills to resolve & even prevent the anger that provides the cause for violence is the purpose of this book. The subtitle identifies the book as a self-help manual. The author, a priest & psychotherapist, begins by describing the causes & kinds of anger. The book is profuse with examples & anecdotes to show how & why people try to solve their "anger problems" in ways that don't work. There follows next a skill-building section of behaviors for dealing with anger in one's self & in other people which have been shown to work. The book concludes with ways to anticipate & prevent anger.
