The workbook and program are designed to assist both men and women in learning to handle their explosive, disrespectful, and hurtful anger in more effective ways. In addition, I was licensed as a psychologist in the state of Minnesota in 1985; I led 35-50 week domestic abuse groups for men for 30+ years (using another book that I wrote, Stopping the Violence: A Group Model to Change Men’s Abusive Attitudes and Behaviors, which was first published in 1999 by Haworth Press in New York; I led 5-session anger management classes for both men and women for 30+ years; I developed a website with information about anger, abuse, control, toxic shame, healthy partner relationships and other related issues called [www.ANGEResources.com](www.ANGEResources.com) in 2000 (revised and updated in 2017); and I have seen individuals and couples for anger management services and for other mental health issues throughout my career. I currently see both individuals and couples for anger management services using the above resource and for other mental health issues as well.  \nThe program involves several sessions for an intake process to discuss a client’s current life situation and his/her family of origin and childhood experiences. The intake process also includes taking an Anger Index (a “quick and dirty” assessment and score about how angry, negative, cynical, hostile, and aggressive the client is); an Anger Pre-test, a true-false test to assess what a client knows about what anger is and what anger is not; and an Anger Questionnaire, which addresses what a client has done with anger in the past with his/her partner, children, and others. The program also includes reading the entire anger management workbook, which involves both educational material and accomplishing the eight tasks that are a part of this program. The workbook itself is comprised of:  \nAn Introduction To The Workbook and  \nSeven Educational Units:  \nUnit 1: Understanding More About Stress, Anger, Control, And Abuse;  \nUnit 2: Self-Talk And How It Affects Your Own Life And The Lives of Those Around You;  \nUnit 3: Toxic Shame And Personal Empowerment;  \nUnit 4: Working Hard To Develop Effective Assertiveness, Communication, And Conflict  \nResolution Skills;  \nUnit 5: Understanding, Developing, And Maintaining Healthy Relationships With Your  \nPartner And Others In Your Life;  \nUnit 6: Road Rage: What ItIsAnd How To Address It;  \nand  \nUnit 7: Some Other Topics That Are Related To What You Have Been Reading Thus Far In  \nThis Workbook).  \n1 © 1987-2025 David J.
