| have a number of books which have been helpful...Dr. David Burns has a number of books on cognitive therapy - Feeling Good, Handbook, Ten Days to Great Self Esteem, Intimate Connections. Also have Marsha Linehan's book on dialectical behavior therapy which was written primarily for therapists but is helpful in understanding various strategies to deal with stress... |

Hello,
I recommend picking up Letting Go of Anger (I have read both the 1st and 2nd editions, and I own the 2nd edition)--it's a book that doesn't need to be read in a linear fashion. (you can easily skip around and get lots of personal insight)
Have you read Letting Go of Anger? Have you read any helpful AngerManagement books?

| p.s. According to the self-assessment I did over time with the help of the above book, my typical AngerStyles are: SHAME-BASED ANGER, ANGER AVOIDANCE, and SNEAKY ANGER, and SELF-HATE, along with less frequently: MORAL ANGER...I think it's a very worthwhile read. It's in libraries. |

Hello Jonathan,
When I was in Intensive Outpatient Group Therapy following a stay in the psychiatric hospital for a psychotic manic episode, one of the counselors recommended the book Emotional Intelligence.
Do you recommend it?

If your not totally broke I would recommend buying it.
Not as much a priority as meds and fish oils though.
If you can't buy the book, you could always get a loan off a friend or a library.
Here are 4 more:=
Life and how to survive it:- Robin Skynner and John Cleese 6/10
The madness of Adam and Eve David Horribin 8/10
Families and how to survive them (Cleese/Skynner) 4/10
Our own worst enemy Norman Dixon
The books by John Cleese and psychoananlyst Robin Skynner are so so, I would only buy them if you are comfortably off with a lot space for book storage in your house. Although there are are some good ideas amoung them, they lean too much towards psychoanaltical/ psychodynamic
viewpoints, they make the mistake of appearing to blame families for mental illnesses through mistakes in upbringing rather than genetics and they also make the mistake of placing the insane at a lower level than the heinous felon. I ended up giving away the 'Families' one.
Horrobin's book in contrast is very biopsychiatric and it goes into depth about how the new fish oil treatment works, biochemically. Interesting.
Norman Dixon's book is about psychology is a very political context, about tendencies that evolved in the stonage (such as Milgram's obedience) threaten to get us all killed in the nuclear age. If you're an avid member of CND like me and the like you'll love it, if you want to be ostrich and hide your head in the sand, like millions of humans do they maybe you won't. |
