Although I am 19, this book has definitely helped me and my family cope with problems we face together, and with our immediate family as well. We did have a tendacy to play the "blame game" as we seemed to find it easier to blame someone else than to take on responsibilit ourselves, or just try to cope with the problems ourselves. Through reading this book together, my mom, dad, and I have learned that anger is ok, but there are proper ways to deal with it. I would say the biggest change is that anger does reach a "dangerous" level anymore, and we definitely get over our trials and tribulations in a shorter amount of time. Its helped me personally to accept anger as a part of life, but it doesn't take over my life. Sometimes, its hard to accept the fact that even as Christians we get angry as well. These are all concepts I learned from the "Anger Workbook."

This workbook is a very practical way to start coping with an anger problem in your home. My husband and I started working through it together in order to help our middle school age son deal with what was becoming an anger problem for him. We both learned a lot about ourselves and how we were not dealing well with the stress this was causing our family. We also learned some of the ways we sweep anger aside by labeling it something else. It helped us uncover some of the ways we were heaping up more anger in our son and also helped us work through it together. We were able to help our son take responsibility for his emotions and work through them as they come up. We have had a positive outcome in our situation and our son is coping much better with his frustrations (another form of anger) and we have all benefited.
