Overview

Sooner or later, most of us will find ourselves in the Blast Zone -- face to face with an emotionally explosive person, someone who bursts into rages, erupts into panic, or is swept away by torrents of anger, anxiety, depression, or unreasonable fear. Once involved, you may feel defensive, trapped, and confused, not knowing what you can do to help yourself or the person in distress. Drawing from thirty years as a clinician working with intense emotions, psychologist Albert Bernstein has designed this practical guide to teach you how to stay calm, think clearly amidst the sound and fury, and understand the complex psychology of emotional explosions, including panic attacks, claustrophobia, and many others. Here are real-life success stories as well as strategies for dealing effectively with overly emotional people.
