This week Lisa and Misty cover the renowned classic and New York Times bestseller The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships by Harriet Lerner.

Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, contributor to psychoanalytic concepts regarding family and feminist theory and therapy, and the author of many books. From 1972 to 2001 she was a staff psychologist at the Menninger Clinic in Topeka, Kansas, and a faculty member and supervisor in the Karl Menninger School of Psychiatry.
