Impact Publishers, Inc. is celebrating 39 years of "psychology you can use, from professionals you can trust." Impact is an independent, family-owned-and-operated book publishing firm started in 1970 by author-psychologists Robert E. Alberti, Ph.D., and Michael L. Emmons, Ph.D. Their assertiveness bestseller, Your Perfect Right: Assertiveness and Equality in Your Life and Relationships  was the first -- and is still the best -- book on this popular topic. Now in its ninth edition, with sales over 1.3 million copies, a national survey noted it as the assertiveness book most recommended by psychologists and the fifth most-recommended among all self-help books.
