A Woman's Guide To Changing The Patterns Of Intimate Relationships.
The 20th Anniversary edition of 'The Dance Of Anger', with a new introduction by the author, celebrates the renowned classic and New York Times bestseller that has transformed the lives of millions of readers, dramatically changing how women and men view relationships.
In 'Dance Of Anger', Lerner shows women how to turn anger into a constructive force for reshaping their lives. 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 illustrates 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.
As the 20th Anniversary of 'The Dance Of Anger' 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, 'The Dance Of Anger' is ready to be introduced to the next generation.
