Synopsis
Conventional wisdom views anger as red-hot yelling and screaming, a force to be feared and repressed. But psychotherapist John Rifkin views anger in a revolutionary way -- as the natural energy created to heal one's emotional injuries. In "The Healing Power of Anger," Rifkin explains how to identify dysfunctional uses of anger so that readers can "unbend" it and become empowered and self-nurturing. To do so, he explains his Stop, Drop, and Roll system, which he's used with clients for more than 20 years. In addition, Rifkin explores the childhood roots of anger, the spectrum of angry behavior, how anger can be a gift to a relationship, and ice-cold passive-aggressive anger.

August 07, 2007: John Rifkin writes with simplicity, gentle clarity and a deep understanding about the healing possibilities as a result of accepting and learning about the purpose of anger. Anger has been perhaps the most unaccepted, misunderstood and feared feeling up until now. In 'The Healing Power of Anger' John offers realistic and useable ways to befriend and make use of anger in healthy ways. He brilliantly teaches us how to change our minds about the negative ways we have viewed the powerful life force energy we call anger. Changing our minds about anger can change our relationships and change our lives. This is a must read for all humans!

July 09, 2006: I loved this book. Dr. Rifkin explains clearly how to use anger as a process of healing. Through exercises, a lot of examples and his technique of 'Stop', 'Drop', and 'Roll', he shows the reader how to work step by step through an episode of anger. This is an excellent and easy to use technique to transform anger constructively. I highly recommend this book, he not only cover anger and how to transform it to your benefit, but he also covers the roots of anger, addictions, intimacy with others, depression and more. The healing Power of Anger will help you to see anger as a gift to transform your life.
