The
Dance of Anger
"Anger is a signal and one worth listening to" writes
Dr. Harriet Lerner, in her renowned classic that has transformed
the lives of millions of readers. While anger deserves our attention
and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it
entirely, or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless
and powerless.
Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of our anger
and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating meaningful and
lasting change. This book has inspired more "You changed my
life" stories from both women and men than perhaps any other
bestseller on the American scene today. The Dance of Anger has sold
more than 2 million copies and been translated into more than 30
foreign editions.
Praise
“The
Dance of Anger is such a helpful guide to understanding and reducing
anger in close relationships. By showing how
anger works to maintain the status quo as well as change it, Dr.
Lerner gives readers information they can use to manage anger wisely
and well.”
- Carol Tavris, Ph.D.

of Anger: The Misunderstood Emotion
“The
Dance of Anger is a careful and compassionate exploration of women’s
anger. It will be extremely useful to almost every reader.”
- Susie Orbach
Coauthor
of Understanding Women
“Of
all the books that have been written about personal relationships
of women and what to do about them, this is the most sound. Like
a family heirloom, it can be passed from generation to generation,
as it is based on profound lasting truths.”
- Peggy Papp, M.S.W.

Ackerman Institute for Family Therapy
“Dr.
Lerner avoids stereotyped advice about the benefits of expressing
anger and focuses sensitively on the use of anger as a signal to
oneself and a tool for change in relationships. The many examples,
well told, are engaging and illuminating. It should be a valuable
source of information and help to everyone.”
