Reviews

“Dr. McKinnie Burney’s research contributes to our understanding of two types of anger [instrumental and reactive], the implications for treatment, and the relationship between anger and other disorders. But what practitioners and researchers will find most helpful is the Adolescent Anger Rating Scale, an anger assessment instrument [the author] developed to measure the intensity and frequency of anger expression in adolescents.” –David S. Wheeler, Ph.D., School Psychology State Consultant, Student Support Services Project/USF, Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services

“ . . . an outstanding scholarly work that will contribute significantly to research involving adolescents who experience difficulty with anger and who are diagnosed with associating medical mental health problems prescribed in the Diagnostic Statistical Manual. . . . For psychologists (Clinical and School), this book provides excellent research to help explain the causes, behaviors, and outcomes of anger for certain expressed types of anger.” - Dr. Yvonne Bell, Associate Professor –Educational Psychologist, Florida A&M University

“This school is particularly contributory [to scholarship] because its points out certain aspects of growing social problems.” - Dr. Tony J. Manson, Florida A&M University

"Particularly interesting are [the author's] results, which comment closely on the concerns of educators social workers about anger in our youth." - Book News Inc.
