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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working with Anger and Young people, 3 May 2009
By M. G. Johnston-price "Mikele" (Somerset) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
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. I have a younger brother who can get pretty worked up over a fluffed nine iron and it's not pleasant. Luxmore has some interesting comment on this form of frustration, but basically it's petulance - easily diagnosed by studying the way he curses and throws his club, before flouncing off to the car park. Of course, it's not only younger men who are affected by rage. I have to say that last week I was more than mildly alarmed by the behaviour of a middle-aged AA man. I'd called him out to see if he could re-tune my car radio and he got worked up big style. His language was, quite frankly, choice and unbecoming an officer of the AA. Furthermore, despite my grade 300 membership he was determined to tell me where to stick my radio in no uncertain terms. Thankfully central locking saved me on that particular occasion but it shows the dangers of rage for the innocent bystander.
