But women usually express anger through a range of behaviors, from explosive outbursts to quiet seething rage.

Product description
Review
—Vallerie E. Coleman, Ph.D., psychologist and adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Loyola Marymount University
“Petracek uses a commonsense, realistic approach to helping women deal with their anger. I found a wealth of information on the pages of this book; it is an excellent tool for women whether they have mild or major challenges with rage. Petracek takes the mind, body, and spirit into account when teaching women how to channel their anger in a healthy way.”
—Jan Brown, executive director of the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men
“A much-needed book. The problem of women’s anger is often minimized in our society, but not by Petracek who, thankfully, takes this subject seriously. Having worked for many years with angry and aggressive women, she offers some practical and innovative solutions. I especially enjoyed her sections on anger-ins vs. anger-outs and the chapter on parenting.”
—John Hamel, LCSW, author ofHigh Conflict to Battering and director of John Hamel & Associates, a counseling firm in San Raphael, CA
"A much-needed, long-awaited book on the subject."
—Ruth Gottstein, publisher of Volcano Press
