DR. BRENDA SHOSHANNA TO DISCUSS
NATURE OF ANGER AT ACRGNY JUNE ROUNDTABLE BREAKFAST
The June ACRGNY Roundtable Breakfast, scheduled for the first Thursday of the month, June 5th, from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM, will feature author, mediator and psychologist, Dr. Brenda Shoshanna, speaking about her new book, The Anger Diet.
The breakfast will take place at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, 899 Tenth Avenue, Room 610. There is no charge for the breakfast, but please respond by return email to let us know you are coming!
Anger is a lethal force in relationships, frequently sabotaging positive outcomes in unexpected ways. Sometimes it erupts openly, other times it camouflages itself and covertly undermines morale, communication and behavior. Dr. Shoshanna will explore the nature of anger and offer useful steps for mediators to employ in defusing anger on the spot. She’ll talk about the difference between responsible communication and outright attack; handling opposition; the lies anger tells us, and she’ll share some of her own learned techniques for dealing not only with the anger of others, but our own anger!
Dr. Shoshanna is a psychologist, mediator, author and speaker who works with individuals and groups to build relationships based on respect, dialogue and understanding.
Earlier this month, we were fortunate to have Dr. Candace McCoy discussing her recent project in Scotland, where with Scottish researchers and criminal justice authorities she developed plans to apply restorative sentencing as part of probation services.
Dr. McCoy teaches in the doctoral program of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. She specializes in the study of criminal justice policies, researching and teaching on such topics as sentencing, plea bargaining, jury decision-making, and police practices.
