Insights into Anger, Dec 29 2004
By Clair Hawes "psychologist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Calming the Family Storm (Paperback)
Children who are frequently exposed to anger often become adults who use anger to control their partners, their children, their friends, and their workmates. They express this anger on the roads and in the workplace, as well as in their families. Now we have a common sense, extremely readable book that can give direction in helping turn around the lives of people of all ages who want support in dealing with difficult emotions. Calming the Family Storm is written by Gary McKay and Steven Maybell, psychologists who truly know their subject. They have taught and written about families and their emotional management throughout their long, productive careers. Put this book at the top of your 'must read' list.

"The book presents its ideas and strategies so as to be accessible and applicable to parents, youngsters of every age and professionals alike. Its roots go deep into the theories and philosophy of Individual Psychology. It covers every aspect of anger in families progressively.

Calming the Family Storm is a gem, Dec 16 2004
By vanillasapphire - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Calming the Family Storm (Paperback)
Calming the Family Storm by Dr. MacKay & Dr. Maybell is a rare gem. It addresses a huge modern problem - time pressed families don't have time to communicate or to communicate well. The book is easy to read and chock-full of practical tips. I would recommend it unreservedly for any family or counselor.W.F. Peate, MD, MPH
