RAGE: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO OVERCOMING EXPLOSIVE ANGER

Book ID/图书代码： 09700007B11009

English Summary/英文概要： It’s been reported that around seven per cent of adults may suffer from a problem called intermittent explosive disorder (IED) during their lives. This disorder involves episodes of rage so intense that relationships, jobs, property and even lives can be lost in a single outburst. IED sufferers often report that they even lose conscious awareness of their behaviour during these episodes. Obviously anyone who is stricken with diagnosable IED or even subclincial fits of rage needs help, and they need it as soon as possible. Unique in its genre, this much-needed book breaks down rage generally into three types: survival, impotent and abandonment or rejection rage. In the first type, the angry individual’s behaviour is triggered by a sense of danger or threat; in the second, by a feeling of helplessness; and the third type is triggered by a fear of losing a cherished relationship. After a brief discussion of the brain and how it functions during moments of extreme emotion, the book turns to the task of putting rage in check. In classic Potter-Efron style, the book places the responsibility for control squarely on the shoulders of the angry individual and readers get a no-nonsense approach to getting rage under control once and for all.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 研究表明，7%的成年人可能会在他们的人生中受到间歇性暴怒障碍（IED）的影响。这种障碍症状主要表现为阵发性的怒气，由于爆发起来程度极高，可能因为某一次的爆发就会导致失去与他人的关系、工作、财产甚至是生命安全。甚至常有间歇性暴怒障碍患者反应，在这些怒气爆发的过程中，他们失去了对自己行为的意识。因此，很显然任何震惊于自己被诊断为间歇性暴怒障碍的患者，甚至是临床症状并不明显的阵发性暴怒患者都需要获得帮助，并且他们急迫地需要这种帮助，越快越好。这本书的存在不仅十分迫切，并且在书籍分类上也十分独到，全书将暴怒大致分为三类：生存型暴怒、虚弱型暴怒以及抛弃型/反抗型暴怒。在第一种暴怒中，通常是某种危险或威胁的感觉引发个体暴怒行为；在第二种中，诱发因素则是一种无助感；第三种暴怒类型是由一种害怕失去所珍惜关系的感觉所激发。全书首先简单探讨了我们的大脑以及它们在极端情绪时刻的运作方式，随后本书将转向对暴怒类型的检测任务。通过经典的波特-弗龙模型，本书将对暴怒的控制责任直接放在了愤怒的个体人群身上，读者们将获得行之有效的方式，从而一劳永逸地将暴怒置于掌控之下。(DC)

This volume provides essential information for people who experience rage and the mental health professionals who work with them. Potter-Efron’s comprehensive and detailed descriptions of the nature and determinants of four different kinds of rage will also be of great interest to the general reader. The interpersonal and behavioral factors that trigger these overwhelming experiences of the extreme expression of anger are clarified, with excellent examples of the manifestation of rage. These recommendations for dealing with intense emotional experiences will help the reader to both understand and cope more effectively with rage-related problems.—Charles D.

Readers will be able to assess their own specific type of rage easily while also learning useful techniques for intervening and stopping such uncontrollable eruptions. This book is an excellent tool for individuals who are trying to gain more control over their emotions and counter the feelings of helplessness that often accompany experiences of rage.
