Cool It! Teen Tips to Keep Hot Tempers from Boiling Over Uncontrolled teen anger manifests itself in rebelliousness, bullying, teasing, assaults or worse—school shootings. Today's teens living in an angry world need better methods for venting their antagonistic feelings and developing positive solutions. In his follow-up to :60 Second Anger Management, Dr. Michael Hershorn, a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in the area of anger management, has developed an essential guide specifically for teenagers. Dr. Hershorn helps teens discover their stressors and identify their real feelings using relevant case histories covering issues of self-worth, self-esteem, assertiveness, sibling rivalry, substance abuse, rejection and parental divorce that can lead to anger mismanagement. Then Dr. Hershorn shows young adults how to work through and manage their rage. Using guided exercises, quizzes and new tools, teens are taught to rate their improvement and transfer these much-needed skills to the real world. Cool It! equips angry youths with new communication skills and coping mechanisms to express their anger calmly and in non-threatening words, which is, according to Hershorn, the healthiest way to vent anger. His proven methods will free young people from the grip of toxic anger by teaching them to cope with difficult emotions so they can deal with life more effectively. Michael Hershorn, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in anger management, received his Ph.D. in psychology from Syracuse University. A Diplomate of the American Board of Psychological Specialities in Clinical Forensic Psychology and a Fellow of the American College of Advanced Practice Psychologists, he was a psychologist for the New York City Police Department and has been honored by the National Domestic Violence Hotline for his work. Licensed in New York and Florida, Dr. Hershorn conducts a private practice in Tamarac, Florida, near Fort Lauderdale, from which he commutes to the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica where he is a senior lecturer. *May 2003 Release A New Horizon Press Release << Previous Book | Next Book >> >> See Other Parenting, Family & Home Books |
