In
Before Conflict: Preventing
Aggressive Behavior, John D. Byrnes
gets to the heart of the concept of
aggression prevention. Rather than look
strictly at violence and all its
implications - fatalities, crime, and
assault - Byrnes instead chooses to look
ahead, in order to prevent aggression
versus simply reacting to it. By using a
unique methodology of Aggression
Management®, those responsible for the
safety of others may circumvent the
standard practice of mere "conflict
resolution" by dealing with the problem
before it creates conflict. Because
everyone experiences and manages anger
differently, Aggression Management®
teaches readers not only how to measure
their own aggression, but that of others
as well. The result empowers the reader
to stop problems before they even
develop. This book is recommended for
anyone responsible for the safety of
others, especially people who work in
the fields of education, health care and
social services, law enforcement, the
retail food service industry, and the
U.S. Postal Service. Learn the Skills
that thousands of others have used to
diminish and prevent aggression in their
lives and their workplaces, and increase
your own productivity as a result.
