Socialization and culture play key roles in shaping the unhealthy ways in which feminine anger is negotiated. Women's Anger: Clinical and Developmental Perspectives reveals the complex nature of the anger experience for women and girls as both an internal phenomenon and in its interrelationships with interpersonal interactions and the broader social environment. The book brings together theoretical understandings, clinical experiences, empirical research, and the lived experience of anger for women and girls, in an integrated presentation of anger over the lifespan. Women's Anger offers a combined focus on feminist and developmental perspectives on anger, the psychology of emotion, and applied theory. It also focuses on the adaptive and functional aspects of women's anger rather than on the traditional, psychopathology-based models. The reader will also be introduced to several clinical illustrations from actual clients as well as personal accounts of women and girls talking about their own perspectives on anger. Lastly, Women's Anger looks at how anger intertwined with the development of self. The book's unique explorations of the clinical and social issues in the assessment of anger reflects the author's multiple roles as researchers, therapists and teachers. Women's Anger: Clinical and Developmental Perspectives will be essential reading for psychologists, marriage and family therapists, counselors, social workers, and academics in Clinical and Social Psychology, Counseling, Gender or Women's Studies, Family Studies, Education, and Sociology.
