She illuminates the causes and patterns of anger while providing specific strategies for making meaningful and lasting changes in important relationships. Basing her conclusions on her clinical work and drawing on psychoanalytic and family systems theory, she illustrate how, and why, our anger (be it vented through fighting and blaming or silence and emotional distancing) often protects rather than challenges existing relationship dynamics. And she explains the difficulties women have not only in getting angry but also in using their anger to gain a stronger and more independent sense of self.</P><P> As the 20th Anniversary of <i>The Dance of Anger</i> approaches, anger is an even bigger issue in our society than it was 20 years ago. In our troubled times, anger and intolerance are at an all time high. Like a family heirloom passed from one generation to another, <i>The Dance of Anger</i> is ready to be introduced to the next generation. </P> 31603 1985 The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships total:669|5:205|4:276|3:137|2:42|1:9| 669 2633 945 134 3 2 false false Wed Nov 12 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 18 14:23:11 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 12 06:16:13 -0800 2008
