The first of the CompassionPower programs to reduce anger, violence, and resentment began in 1988, to treat violent and angry persons convicted of abuse in the home. Using a new technology of emotional transformation, Dr. Steven Stosny demonstrated success in greatly improving the personal and community behavior of court-ordered offenders.

Emotional transformation skill allows subjects to replace focus on injury, which stimulates revenge motives, with instant focus on healing and improving. The various programs for anger, violence, and resentment teach emotional transformation like an exercise that leads to habituation. The result is a much stronger individual who can hold onto the empowered sense of self that comes from relating compassionately to others.

CompassionPower programs, translated into several languages, promote emotional intelligence and self-empowerment throughout the world.

Steven Stosny, PhD, is the founder and of CompassionPower. His interest in emotional transformation and the healing power of compassion grew from his childhood in a violent home. He has appeared on many TV and radio shows, including several guest appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show. He has been the subject of interviews in national newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Washington Post, Esquire, O Magazine, U.S. News & World Report. A consultant in family violence for the Prince George's County Circuit and District courts, as well as for several mental health and driving safety agencies in Maryland and Virginia, he has served as an expert witness in criminal and civil trials. He has treated more than 4,500 clients with various forms of anger, abuse, and violence.
