Overview

Reactions to situations occur in different degrees, settings, and relationships. Assisting youngsters in understanding anger and learning ways to express this feeling without hurting themselves or others are the goals of Peace: The Other Side of Anger. This second edition takes into account the impact of gun violence, social media, and the 2020 pandemic on the lives of teenagers. When the first edition of this book was written, these areas did not exist or have the influence they now have. The revisions in this version do not alter the description of the Anger Management Power Program (AMP) or the techniques to use with teens that serve as the foundation of both books.
