Editorial Reviews

"More than a workbook, this is a well-organized, focused forward guide. Each step has clear descriptions of what it is and why this step is important. The workbook touches on the past just enough to understand perspective and schemas. Anything that is important to consider when it comes to anger is covered from start to finish. I have utilized many tools similar to this in the past and they all have offered some really great guidance. Ms. Leonardo consolidates all of the useful pieces and creates a clear, cohesive plan that is easy to follow. Take notes and keep this workbook accessible, even after you have finished the program!" —Jackie Murphy, MSW, LCSW
