Dr. Weisinger is the originator of criticism training and is one of the halfdozen experts in the area of anger management. A management scientist, he lectures for the UCLA Executive Education and M.B.A. programs, and for other leading business schools throughout the country. His expertise is sought by numerous Fortune 500 companies (IBM, AT&T, ARCO, Control Data, TRW, Warner-Lambert, to name just a few), government agencies, mental-health professionals, hospitals, parent groups, professional educators, and professional organizations such as the Young Presidents' Organization.

Dr. Weisinger's first book (co-authored by Norman M. Lobsenz), Nobody's Perfect, was a New York Times hardcover best seller and is now a Warner paperback. His article for The Wall Street Journal, "So You're Afraid," was selected as one of the sixty best articles ever to appear in the Journal's "Manager's Column" and is reprinted in The Wall Street Manager's Column, published by Dow Jones. Dr. Weisinger is also a frequent guest on national television and radio shows.

An innovator in mental-health treatment, Dr. Weisinger maintains a clinical practice as a consultant to A Touch of Care, a residential treatment facility that is an alternative to hospitalization for emotionally disturbed people.

Dr. Weisinger and his wife, Lorie, live in Santa Monica, California. They have a daughter, Briana, and two dogs, Mazel and Shovi.

Review

..".fills a vacuum in the health field. Poorly managed anger is clearly a risk factor for serious illness -- physical and psychological.... Dr. Weisinger has made explicit the skills that well-adjusted, effective people have always used to fuel their drive for success and relate more intimately with family and friends. This book is a health tonic to the serious reader." -- Ronald M. Podell, M.D., Clinical Faculty, Dept. of Psychiatry, U.C.L.A. School of Medicine, Executive Director, The Center for Mood Disorders, Los Angeles

"Dr. Weisinger's Anger Work-out Book is easy to understand and gives readers everything they need to know about anger in order to manage it constructively and avoid hurting relationships." -- Dr. Thomas Gordon, Founder, P.E.T. (Parent Effectiveness Training)

"The best possible work-out for psychological fitness" --Sonya Friedman, Ph.D., author of "Smart Cookies Don't Crumble"
