A Must Read, No Exaggeration
Angry All the Time By Ron Potter-Efron, M.S.W., Ph.D. A Must Read, No Exaggeration Ron Potter-Efron is the most honest Ph.D. I have ever met. If professors in colleges and universities were as open as he, our institutions of higher learning may possibly be producing better citizens and not just knowledge-filled people.

This is a great book. I've used previous editions, but the editing and change in text formatting make this edition more user friendly. It is complete and references ways to explore the techniques described. Perhaps the editors could make parts of it avaiable in an MP3 format.

Reader
I have read several other books that offered hope but no real help. This book gave me my life back. It worked for me. I judged this book by its cover and it sat on my shelf for a month while I read other books that did nothing. I am so glad I bought, and finally read this book.

What it Is, What it's About
I'm reading this book on my way to a conference, a conference where I will give the keynote address and conduct a panel and a workshop. While a lot of what Michael Kahn says seems like plain common sense, it's the putting it into practice that counts. I'll be trying to do just that. If common sense were always put into practice, we'd call it "common action" instead of common sense. Kahn's ...

This book is simply fantastic!
I read this book after an experience that I had in college. It was very easy to read and also informative. "Free of the shadows" is a great book for anyone who has experienced sexual assault. It is also a good book for family and friends to read who are trying to help a love one get through a difficult time. I loaned the copy I had to a friend, who in turn loaned it to a friend. I have been ...

Very good book for Understanding PTSD
This is the first book I attempted to read after being diagnosed with PTSD. It helped me understand my unexplainable behavior and symtoms and helped me come to terms that I was not "crazy, as perceived, but simply having a normal reaction to an abnormal trauma. I would love to meet the author sometime. I HIGHLY recommenend this book.

An End to Panic: Breakthrough Techniques for Overcoming Panic Disorder

Elke Zuercher-White

New Harbinger Pubns Inc, 1995

Real, workable solutions.
I've read many, many books on treating panic disorder, but this is the ONLY book that helped me overcome my panic disorder. I only wish I had read it years ago. Panic pretty much ... my life down a black hole -- I was so agoraphobic that for two years I rarely left my bedroom, even to go down the hall to the kitchen. A cognitive-behavioral therapist gave me a copy of this book and took me step ...

Focal Group Psychotherapy

New Harbinger Pubns Inc, 1992

Great book for psychoeducational groups
This is a fantastic resource for clinicians/students who are already trained in conducting group psychotherapy to apply their skills to specific topic-focused groups. With the variety of topics presented, it also provides a nice implicit framework for designing a group around a different topic.

Marilyn Irwin Boynton, Mary Dell

New Harbinger Pubns Inc, 1995

An eye-opening description of my relationship with Mom.
I picked up this book because I loved the cover. What I found inside was a notion I had not wanted to face -- that I was still tied to my mother, letting her guide my life. And she's been dead for 20 years. So far, I have worked through the first half of the book and already I am beginning to feel something about myself that I haven't felt in many years -- that I have some value. I weep as I ...

Al Crowell

New Harbinger Pubns Inc, 1995

Getting Real In The Search
Very clearly the insights in this book divide those who continue to operate in a fantasy regarding their relationships with prospective mates, and those who are willing to take a hard look at reality. If you are serious about taking a realistic look and not wasting anymore time and effort on your life's search for a mate, you need this book as a "guide". I recommend it to all who seek love, and ...

Excellent Overview - A Must Read for Sufferers of Depression
If you are looking for a simple and concise explanation of the nature and causes of depression, with a relatively honest and thorough coverage of treatment options, this book is one you should certainly own. At first glance the book may seem cartoon-ish and amateur, but for the layman its simplicity is invaluable. I dearly appreciated the clear graphics and well-written text which accompanied ...

Carol Staudacher

New Harbinger Pubns Inc, 1991

Special, Well-focused
I found this book vitally helpful in understanding the unexpected differences in the ways men grieve a loss--myself, as an example--but it also helped me powerfully in dealing with grieving male friends. It comes in chapters that allow selective reading. But it's very well written, and once you start, you'll want to go on. I strongly recommend this book.

It's Not Okay Anymore: Your Personal Guide to Ending Abuse, Taking Charge, and Loving Yourself

3 reviews
Greg Enns, Jan Black

New Harbinger Pubns Inc, 1997

Excellent! One of the best investments you can give yourself
I purchased this book when I was struggling with the realization that I was in an abusive relationship. It helped me tremendously to face the truth about my situation, and at the same time this book helped me form an "action plan" of leaving my abusive husband. This book clearly defines the warning signs of abuse and that abuse of any kind, i.e. emotional, verbal or physical is not to be ...
