Rage: A Step-by-Step Guide
Powerful Tools for Overcoming Extreme Anger
Author: Ronald T. Potter-Efron, MSW, PhD
Overview
Do you or someone you love experience episodes of extreme, unpredictable anger? Intense rages that threaten jobs, relationships, property—or worse? You’re not alone. Research suggests that 7% of Americans may experience intermittent explosive disorder (IED), while millions more live with less frequent but equally destructive rages. The good news: rage can be understood, calmed, and controlled.
In this clear and practical guide, renowned anger expert Ronald T. Potter-Efron breaks rage down into four types:
- Survival rage — triggered by a sense of danger or threat
- Impotence rage — fueled by feelings of helplessness
- Abandonment rage — rooted in fear of losing a cherished relationship
- Shame rage — sparked when someone feels deeply disrespected
Rage explains how the brain responds during these states of extreme emotion and, more importantly, provides step-by-step tools to stop episodes of rage before they spiral out of control. Potter-Efron places responsibility where it belongs—on the shoulders of the individual—while offering no-nonsense strategies that truly work.
