The integration of Domestic Violence and Anger Management treatment with an emphasis on safety while also providing anger management skills and techniques has been a long time coming. This book provides a map to significantly improve the very poor outcomes of older Domestic Violence treatment models. The National Anger Management Association (NAMA) wholeheartedly endorses this extremely helpful handbook."</strong><i>--Rich Pfeiffer, MDiv, PhD, President, Board of Directors, NAMA; Co-Director, Growth Central</p></i> <p></p><b> <p>"Ron Potter-Efron has done a masterful job in writing an intelligent, balanced, and wise exploration of the origins and treatment of dysfunctional anger. It is a must-read for anyone desiring a deeper understanding of anger, rage, and violent behavior. Highly recommended." </b><i>--Lou Cozolino, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Pepperdine University; Author, </i><b>The Neuroscience of Psychotherapy: Healing the Social Brain</p> <p>"<i>Handbook of Anger Management and Domestic Violence Offender Treatment</i> represents a major advance in the treatment of individuals and families affected by high conflict, abuse, and physical violence. The author has a sophisticated understanding of these problems - their varied manifestations, causes, and consequences. Eschewing gender-based paradigms and false perpetrator/victim dichotomies, Potter-Efron instead offers interventions that are both gender-inclusive and systemic, based on cutting-edge social science research. Overall, this is one of the two or three best books ever written on family violence treatment."</b> <i>--John Hamel, LCS; </i>Editor-In-Chief, <b>Partner Abuse</b><i>; Author, </i><b>Gender-Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse, 2<sup>nd</sup> Edition: Evidence-Based Approaches</p></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><strong>Ronald T.
