This review is from: Anger Management: The Complete Treatment Guidebook for Practitioners (Practical Therapist) (Paperback)
This is a clear and concise guide for practitioners and also offers critical and balanced viewpoints. The format is brief outlines, followed by clearly expanded explanations. There are other guides out there which are considerably more expensive, but provide little more information and practical information than you will find in this book.

Very helpful in the recognition and treatment of all types of anger behaviour. Especially helpful is the plan for practitioners and the use of outcomes to increase self responsibilty and motivation for change.

This Text is a Must Read!,
By Colleen Reynolds - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anger Management: The Complete Treatment Guidebook for Practitioners (Practical Therapist) (Paperback)
Anger Management by Howard Kassinove and Raymond Tafrate is by far the most complete and up to date text for therapists. It is a must read resource for all environments, children, adults and families, as well as the workplace. The authors break down anger episodes into understandable segments in order to assess the client's anger intensity and frequency.Then they rebuild with techniques that include life skills, problem solving snd step by step ways to change thinking. Among the communication skills the motivated client will learn is how to give and receive criticism without becoming defensive. There is also emphasis on non-verbal communication, including body language and direct eye contact. The model presented for problem solving skills is very important, because it encourages the client to seek alternative solutions, thus reducing anger and frustration. Ultimately, Kassinove and Tafrate examine forgiveness as part of anger management. By forgiving, eith within or outside of a religious conviction, a person gains the ability to move on. Anger Management is a MUST have for every practitioner's bookshelf--only after a thorough reading! 39 of 39 people found the following review helpful:

A Must for Grad Students and Practicing Psychologists,
By Robert Heckel Ph.D. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anger Management: The Complete Treatment Guidebook for Practitioners (Practical Therapist) (Paperback)
Is it possible for academically based clinical psychologists to produce a clinical treatise suitable for the trraining of clinical graduate students yet have equal value and meaning to experienced working clinicians? The answer is a strong yes! This has been achieved by our authors Howard Kassinove and Raymond Chip Tafrate in their excellent new work on anger management. The work consists of six clearly written, practical guides to the understanding, treatment and management of clients' anger. They have even devoted a chapter to aid the therapist in dealing with his/her anger, a frequent occurrence when working in this difficult area. In section two, three chapters deal with preparing the client for change. This is followed in section three with five chapters dealing with the process of change, including physical arousal, skills building, and new ways of problem solving. This is really the heart of the work and is presented with excellent examples and concrete steps for the therapist. Chapters 13-15 work with the necessary cognitive component for anger management without which treatment may never reach completion. The final three chapters address relapse prevention, the therapist's anger, and finally, a sample treatment program. All this is available at a very reasonable price in todays overpriced book market. The cost of 27.95(less through Amazon) is affordable for students and a valuable addition to the practitioner's library. I recommend it as a valuable guide to one of todays most vexing problems, the reduction and management of anger. 22 of 23 people found the following review helpful:

Designed to substantially assist professional psychologists,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anger Management: The Complete Treatment Guidebook for Practitioners (Practical Therapist) (Paperback)
Collaboratively written by Howard Kassinove (Chairperson of the Psychology Department at Hofstra University) and Raymond Chip Tafrate (Associate Professor in the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department at Central Connecticut State University), Anger Management: The Complete Treatment Guidebook For Practitioners is a straightforward and thoroughly practical guide designed to substantially assist professional psychologists and caseworkers of all fields to help their patients and clients deal with a condition of unhealthy, counter-productive anger. Individual chapters address a model and plan to help people increase their awareness of anger and change their responses, and to police themselves to in order to maintain an emotionally healthier way of life. Anger Management is highly recommended reading for anyone charged with a professional responsibility to deal with and assist angry clients whether the setting is in private practice, an outpatient clinic, a hospital setting, or within the criminal justice system.
