When Anger Hurts: Quieting the Storm Within
by Matthew McKay, Peter D. Rogers, Judith McKay
New Harbinger Publications, 1989

This is an excellent step-by-step introduction to anger management.
The authors debunk popular myths and provide an explanation of
the physiology of anger.
With straightforward explanations and simple, practical exercises,
the reader can learn to turn around trigger thoughts, including some
common distortions (e.g. the global thoughts
"you always..."),
reduce stress, identify and stop the escalation of anger, change
self-talk, and use effective problem-solving communication.
This is a good read for individuals considering the damage their
anger is causing to their health and self-esteem, their relationships,
or their career. It is also a valuable complement to cognitive-
behavioral psychotherapy (CBT).
