More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Understanding the roots of anger and encouraging appropriate and acceptable ways of expressing this are essential skills for anyone working with young people. "Working with Anger and Young People" warns against 'quick fix' solutions to dealing with anger, and draws on the author's experiences of youth counselling and training workshops to propose helpful interventions for addressing anger effectively and moving on from it. From attachment anxieties and feelings of powerlessness, to frustration at difficult family relations, Nick Luxmoore considers the common reasons for young people's anger during this difficult stage of their development. Through accounts of his work with a range of young people, he offers tried-and-tested exercises and talking points to help work through common counterproductive responses to anger such as antisocial behaviour and physical or verbal violence. Crucially, he also recognises the needs of those working with these young people with anger problems and provides advice on working safely, maintaining control and achieving job satisfaction. This sensitive, accessible book will be an informative and engaging resource for anyone working with young people with anger issues.

Format:Paperback
This was an excellent book written by someone who knows what he is talking about. I liked his examples of scenarios of working with young people and an excellent application of relevant theory which supported his observations. Unlike some books which seem to be written by authors who have no idea what it like to be a young person unable to put feelings into words (even if they wanted to). Nick Luxmore seems able to enter their frame of reference and work with them, sharing this understanding and thus enabling them to communicate at a level which is meaningful to them. I have found this book to be extremely helpful with my work with young people.

For any youth worker working with young people with anger issues, this book wil undoubtably assist you with your work. After reading snippits on google books, I bought it and have found it to be useful both in my studies and as a practical resource.

Format:Paperback
I found this book so informative and easy to read. I am working as a counsellor in a secondary school and I could really put the book against my work within the school. Nick Luxmoore is so easy to read and his enthusiasm is infectious. I was so geared up for going back to work with a new spring in my step. I also bought 2 of his other books and was not disappointed with these either .

This is one of the best books I have read on anger in young people for some time. The author goes beneath the surface of what can often been seen by professionals as an emotion... Read more

This is a very good book from Nick Luxmore. Anger and rage are lurking within most young men and it affects everyone around them - from family to workmates to golf partners. Read more
