About the Author: A son of the American heartlands, Walter Polt, MA, LCPC, learned all too soon to be nice-and to hide anger. His book on anger in relationships gives five steps to turning your negative impulses positive and feeling clear and confident about your preferences and values-so you're ready to speak up with love and respect. After doing his graduate work in counseling at Columbia, he was licensed as a Masters Social Worker in New Mexico and is now a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

Psychosynthesis inspires him. It's a spacious growth-and-integration system founded by Robert Assagioli, MD. When Edith Stauffer, PhD, taught Walter her process of Unconditional Love and Forgiveness he rediscovered his anger and started putting it to good use. He followed his passion: guiding people to avoid anger's tricks and to train their brains in habits of compassion and cooperation. He cocreated Intermountain Associates for Psychosynthesis and its training program, has served on the Steering Committee of the Association for the Advancement of Psychosynthesis, and has written numerous professional articles.
