• Allen, Marvin, Angry Men, Passive Men: Understanding the roots of men's anger & how to move beyond it, Fawcett Columbine, 1993
• Beck, Aaron, Prisoners of Hate: The cognitive basis of anger, hostility and violence. This world-renowned psychiatrist and author has always been at the forefront of cognitive therapy research. His approach being the most rapidly growing psychotherapy today. Now, in his most important work to date, the Father of Cognitive Therapy presents a revolutionary look at destructive behavior - from domestic abuse to genocide to war - and provides a solid framework for remedying these crucial problems. In this book, the author: illustrates the specific psychological aberrations underlying anger, interpersonal hostility, ethnic conflict, genocide and war; clarifies why perpetrators of evil deeds are motivated by a belief that they are doing good; explains how the offenders are locked into distorted belief systems that control their behavior and shows how the same distortions in thinking occur in a rampaging mob as in an enraged spouse; provides a blueprint for correcting warped thinking and belief systems and, consequently, undercutting various forms of hostility; and discusses how the individual and society as a whole might use the tools of psychotherapy to block the psychological pathways to war, genocide, rape and murder.

• Brown, Lyn Mikel, Raising Their Voices:  The politics of girls' anger. Two fourteen-year-old girls, fed up with the "Hooters" shirts worn by their male classmates, design their own rooster logo:  "Cocks:  Nothing to crow about." Seventeen-year-old April Schuldt, unmarried, pregnant, and cheated out of her election as homecoming queen by squeamish school administrators, disrupts a pep rally with a protest that engages the whole school. Where are spirited girls like these in the popular accounts of teenage girlhood, that supposed wasteland of depression, low self-esteem and passive victimhood?  This book, filled with the voices of young girls, corrects the misperceptions that have crept into our picture of female adolescence. Based on the author's yearlong conversation with white junior high and middle-school girls - from the working poor and the middle class, this book allows us to hear how girls adopt some expectations about gender but strenously resist others, how they use traditionally feminine means to maintain their independence, and how they recognize and resist pressures to ignore their own needs and wishes.

In his latest breakthrough book on male health and well-being, this best-selling author presents the most up-to-date research from around the globe to reveal why so many normally loving husbands, fathers, and sons suddenly become irritable, angry, and withdrawn. This book is the first one to describe the phenomenon of the same name and offer a program for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. It identifies the four common triggers of IMS - fluctuating testosterone levels, biochemical imbalances, loss of masculine identity, and stress - and then shows men and their partners how best to treat this emerging problem. Research shows that up to 30% of men, especially those in adolescence and midlife, exhibit symptoms of IMS. In its mildest forms, IMS can cause men to be moody and irritable. At its worst, it can lead to violence and even suicide. The pain and destruction affect not only the men themselves but also their families, their communities, and the world at large. Just as PMS has become a recognized problem in women, IMS - thanks to this book - will soon be acknowledged as a genuine affliction among men. It will revolutionize the detection, understanding, and treatment of male depression, bringing relief and happiness back to the lives of millions of men and their loved ones.

• Garbarino, James, Lost Boys:  Why our sons turn violent and how we can save them. After more than a decade of increase in the urban war zones of large cities, violence by young boys and adolescents is on the rise in our suburbs, small towns, and rural communities. The author believes that boys everywhere really are angrier and more violent than ever before. In light of the recent school-based shootings, it's now clear that no matter where we live or how hard we try as parents, chances are our children are going to school with troubled boys (and girls, ed.) capable of getting guns and pulling triggers. This books shows why young men and boys have become increasingly vulnerable to violent crime and how lack of adult supervision and support poses a real and growing threat to our children's basic safety. For these vulnerable boys, violence can become normal, the "right thing to do". Fortunately, parents can spot troubled boys and take steps to protect their famlies from violence if they know what signs to look for - lack of connection, masking emotions, withdrawal, silence, rage, trouble with friends, hypervigilance, cruelty toward other children and even animals - all warning signs that every parent and peer can recognize and report. By outlining the steps parents, teachers, and public officials can take to keep all children safer, the author holds out hope and solutions for turning our kids away from violence, before it's too late. This may be the most important and original book ever written about boys. The Free Press www.SimonSays.com 1999 ISBN 0-684-85908-4 Buy This Book!

He offers simple exercises - developed especially for men - that will help men to control their violent feelings, identify when and why they get angry, and to form new habits to prevent anger before it starts. Women, too, will learn essential strategies for understanding and helping the angry men in their lives. Marlowe & Company, 2000 ISBN: 1-56924-621-1 Buy This Book!

• Re/Search, Angry Woman. 16 cutting-edge performance artists discuss critical questions such as: how can you have a revolutionary feminism that encompasses wild sex, humor, beauty and spirituality plus radical politics? How can you have a powerful movement for social change that's inclusionary - not exclusionary? How is language based on dualisms (male/female, gay/straight, black/white, mind/body, personal/political) obstructing our visualization of a "better world"? A wide range of topics - from menstruation, masturbation, vibrators, S&M & spanking to racism, failed Utopias and the death of the Sixties - are discussed passionately. Armed with total contempt for dogma, stereotype and cliche, these creative visionaries probe deep into our social foundation of taboos, beliefs and totalitarian linguistic contradictions from whence spring (as well as thwart) our theories, imaginings, behavior and dreams.
