Riassunto

Drawing on a vast body of research, as well as his own experience as an anger control trainer, psychologist Arnold Goldstein reflects on violence American-style. In each of 86 essays in which he examines a different facet of how violence is played out in our everyday lives, he answers a critical question - how has aggression entered our daily experience? Where, when, and why does aggression develop? How is it learned? What needs to be done to bring it under control?
Savvy and thoughtful, the essays in Violence in America examine issues that touch all of us, including the challenge of raising children in a violent age, the problems of classroom aggression and youth gangs, the prevalence of violence in sports, the nature of violent "hot sports," and the roles of alcohol, automobiles, dating, and television in violent behavior. Goldstein draws a vivid portrait and advises us on solutions for peaceable alternatives.
