“I gave Newton’s book to a male client who told me he never has had an anger problem. I asked him simply to skim it to help me figure out if it was any good from a man’s perspective. The next time I saw him he had apologized to his wife and children for 30 years of rage. I think Newton is on to something.” |

“Newton Hightower has provided therapists with an excellent resource for dealing with rage, an issue therapists often ignore or mishandle. His book, Anger Busting 101, provides strategies for dealing with the raging client and the family and friends affected by the rage. The book is readable, encouraging and specific about how to deal with raging clients, friends, spouses or family members. Traditional therapeutic practices have been ineffective and have contributed to a sense of failure and frustration in raging clients. This is required reading!” |
