The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate
Relationships
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/006091565X/templeofwisdo-20
Book Description
"Anger is a signal and one worth listening to," writes Dr. Harriet Lerner, in
her renowned classic that has transformed the lives of millions of
readers.While anger deserves our attention and respect, women still learn to
silence our
anger, to deny it entirely, or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling
helpless and powerless. In this engaging and eminently wise book, Dr. Lerner
teaches women to identify the true sources of our anger and to use anger as a
powerful vehicle for creating lasting change.

Wow, I can't believe what an eye-opener this was, and I've recommended it to
maybe 20 friends. Dance of Anger provides a clear explanation of many of the
situations in which women find themselves feeling angry and not quite knowing
why or how or who or most of all, what to do about it. Bottom line is, it is
only by changing yourself within a relationship that you can hope to motivate
(or just make it possible for) others to change and grow.
Women are conditioned to stifle their anger or deny it, and this only leads
to reactions in other areas that compound the situation. "Anger deserves
recognition." It's definitely not a quick fix, but it just may lead to long term
solutions for the things that mightily bug us in our daily relationships with
spouses, parents, children, co-workers, bosses, etc., etc., etc.
