A psychologist explores the potentially devastating impact of anger on relationships, discussing six different types of marital discord in which couples can become ensnared and how to understand and break damaging behavior patterns.

Maslin holds a Ph.D. in educational psychology and has been a frequent guest on "Today", "Oprah," "Sally Jesse Raphael," "Donahue," "Geraldo," among many other television shows.
Maslin ( Not Quite Paradise: Making Marriage Work, LJ 12/86; Loving Men for All the Right Reasons , LJ 2/1/82) aims to help one assess one's marriage and find out how to "fix" it. To that end, she identifies six "angry lovestyles," which characterize the behavior of venters, provokers, suppressors, enacters, symbolizers, and displacers. The key to breaking the deadlock of an angry union, she claims, lies in uncovering the unrequited unconscious needs of both partners. Maslin's proves a bit repetitious in the early chapters, and much of it is either self-evident or has been said before. Public libraries serving self-helpers may want to consider buying a copy, but ultimately this is not an essential purchase. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 11/1/93.
