Product Description
Product Description
From schoolyard shootings to road rage, unhealthy expressions of anger shout at us from the headlines. These are not random acts of violence, but allude to a more profound and deeply rooted problem. With families scattered from coast-to-coast, cozy neighborhoods replaced by impersonal suburban housing developments and intimate conversations forfeited for Internet chat rooms, Americans have lost their sense of connection and community. In this groundbreaking book, noted psychotherapist Jane Middleton-Moz shows us how the resultant psychological, spiritual and cultural imbalances manifest unhealthy anger, including violence, substance abuse, depression and chronic illness. Through revealing case studies from her practice and examples from her own life, Middleton-Moz shows readers how to recognize anger's warning signals-often disguised in other forms-and provides them with concrete steps to stop the destructive patterns that wound relationships and threaten to unravel our society. When properly expressed, anger is a healthy emotion that provides a sign that something is wrong, helps us set clear emotional and physical boundaries and acts as a catalyst for personal and societal change. By encouraging awareness and accountability, Boiling Point shows us how to develop balance in our lives and the ability to express anger in healthy ways for optimum personal growth.

Highly recommended for High School students,
By Markus Youssef - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Boiling Point: The High Cost of Unhealthy Anger to Individuals and Society (Paperback)
I agree with the cab driver. Many helpful aspects of anger are touched upon and very clearly presented including:
- the various "sideways" expressions of anger (passive aggressiveness) including, lateness, teeth grinding, and whining - how depression is the result of unexpressed/interrupted grief - how oppressors/survivalists "divide and control" by pitting people against each other causing "lateral/horizontal" damage Interesting quotes from children include (ex: People are violent because they don't understand each other; they don't handle things with words; they feel bad about themselves, etc..) An Alderian exercise is included [draw an early memory of shame and fill in the blacks: That day I learned I am _____, Life is _____, etc] With its dramatic title, visual aids on the physiology of stress and fun metaphorical examples, this would make an excellent social studies high school text. I wish I knew this stuff back then. "All men should strive to learn before they die - what they are running from, and to, and why." James Thurber (opening quote for Chap 6)
