Customer Reviews: Calming The Family Storm: Anger Management for Moms, Dads, February 21, 2005 6 out of 8 found this review helpful This book is a clearly written, well-organized, step-by-step and practical approach to which all family members can relate. Basic principles of Adlerian psychology, such as equality, respect and the use of encouragement in the family system are integrated throughout the book. Relevant examples are plentiful throughout the chapters. The detailed step-by-step procedures make it easy for individuals and families to transfer learning to application in daily life. The major points are reviewed at the end of each chapter to emphasize key information. This would be an excellent tool to incorporate a chapter or section at a time in weekly family meetings.
