It's difficult to find good Anger Management materials, but I think this book is very useful. I tend to find only one or two really relevant pages per book for adolescents, or dislike the format/find tone patronising, etc. This book provided many pages I will be able to use, and I think the language, length and tone of the exercises are well judged. I will use it a lot, I think. Very satisfied.
