The Dance of Anger: A Woman's Guide to Changing the Patterns of Intimate Relationships is a self-help and relationship psychology book by clinical psychologist Harriet Lerner. First published in 1985, it became a widely read classic because it reframed anger as a useful source of information rather than a flaw to be hidden or explosively discharged. The book focuses on the ways women are often socialized to suppress anger, over-accommodate others, or express resentment in ineffective ways that keep relationships stuck. Using the central metaphor of a dance, Lerner describes recurring interaction patterns in families and intimate partnerships and shows how change can begin when one person alters her own steps. The book is both analytical and practical, combining psychological insight with guidance on boundaries, responsibility, and communication. Its purpose is not to eliminate conflict, but to help readers use anger more clearly and constructively in relationships.
