About this title

Synopsis

A self-instructional book that offers specific techniques for changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that support nonassertiveness or aggressiveness. The authors provide 33 practice exercises designed to build assertiveness skills and help reduce or prevent excessive anxiety, extreme anger, depression, guilt, worrying, or catastrophizing. Appendices contain a set of self-relaxation procedures and an inventory for self-assessment, goal setting, and decision making.

Review

If you work with assertion groups and are searching for some assistance, this book could be a very useful resource. --Charlotte Hoffner, Journal of College Placement

This book avoids easy answers to complex problems. It clearly defines respect for self and others and points out the risks of assertion. --The Journal for Special Educators

This is a very well-written, exceptionally well-conceptualized and communicated text which should be useful to school counselors in working with students and for their own self-development. --Sarah L. Lovett, The School Counselor
