As co-authors of this book, Dr. Murphy and I are honored to have won the National Parenting Publications Award and to see how this subject has resonated within schools, homes, and communities. We've seen our book recommended by healthcare professionals, school principals, nurses, counselors, and teachers, and we've seen countless families helped with everyday as well as extraordinary anger problems. Thanks readers for being such faithful supporters, and recommending "The Angry Child" to others!
