I commend the editor for the care in the selection of topics covered in this 289-page volume. Often, in volumes of this scope, either the material is superficially covered or density replaces lucidity in the service of fewer manuscript pages. Neither is the case with Treatments for Anger in Specific Populations. Fernandez provides us with a book in which every clinician will find something new to learn and something useful to apply in the consulting room, clinic, or lecture hall. I highly recommend this book. Journal of Clinical Psychiatry

<br> Anger lies at the heart of an impressive number of significant social and psychological problems. It is startling, then, to realize how little research and training is devoted to its understanding and treatment. In Treatments for Anger in Specific Populations a thoughtful group of anger experts discuss anger management techniques that have been used across a wide range of people and settings. For those who work with difficult clients dealing with major anger or hostility issues, check out this practical and research-informed book. --James W. Pennebaker, Regents Centennial Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, University of Texas at Austin <br><p><br> Ephrem Fernandez has succeeded in integrating academic research and practice in this impressive and unique collection of chapters on anger treatment in a range of contexts, both clinical and non-clinical. He also succeeds in drawing together conclusions from the different chapters into a coherent set of principles to guide interventions. I fully recommend this book to all those interested in anger and its treatment. -- John Archer, Professor of Psychology, University of Central Lancashire, Preston, UK, Editor-in-chief, Aggressive Behavior<br><p><br> At a time when the preoccupation with an overmedicalization of mental and emotional difficulties generates lively debate, this book is a very welcome contribution to understand the link between normal and dysfuctional anger-one of the emotions that may have very powerful effects on social behavior and interaction. Appropriately, the central issues of anger management and emotion regulation are given central play and a host of information on treatment options is provided. This book will be an important milestone for the future development of work on anger-related emotional problems. -- Klaus Scherer, Ph.D., Director, Swiss Centre for Affective Sciences, University of Geneva <br><p><br>
