Assagioli, the founder of psychosynthesis, used to say: the energy of a flowing river can flood a city or be harnessed and used to provide electricity for everybody. Anger is the same: it can be a force of destruction or feed creative and useful action. Based on practice and rooted in Polt's own work and experience, this is a brilliant and up-to-date guide to manage anger and facilitate its expression in ways that enhance and strengthen relationships. Bravo! - Piero Ferrucci, Italy Psychotherapist author, Beauty and the Soul and Your Inner Will Based on the transformative psychology of psychosynthesis, Polt's expanded and engrossing guidebook can strengthen and enliven all our relationships, helping us pause, reflect, and actively resolve anger-within ourselves and with others. It gives myriad examples from everyday life. It is eminently readable! I recommend The Anger Makeover to everyone confronting the conflicts and misunderstandings in our world today. - Molly Brown, USA Author, Unfolding Self and Growing Whole; co-author, Coming Back to Life

Author Information

A son of the American heartlands, Walter Polt, MA, LCPC, learned all too soon to be nice-and to hide anger. His book on anger in relationships gives five steps to turning your negative impulses positive and feeling clear and confident about your preferences and values-so you're ready to speak up with love and respect. After doing his graduate work in counseling at Columbia, he was licensed as a Masters Social Worker in New Mexico and is now a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. For more than four decades, he has counseled, coached, and presented international trainings in diverse settings including outpatient mental health, community mental health, and private practice. Psychosynthesis inspires him. It's a spacious growth-and-integration system founded by Robert Assagioli, MD. When Edith Stauffer, PhD, taught Walter her process of Unconditional Love and Forgiveness he rediscovered his anger and started putting it to good use. He followed his passion: guiding people to avoid anger's tricks and to train their brains in habits of compassion and cooperation. He cocreated Intermountain Associates for Psychosynthesis and its training program, has served on the Steering Committee of the Association for the Advancement of Psychosynthesis, and has written numerous professional articles.
