Beskrivning

This book offers a therapeutic approach to a problem that many families and mental health institutions face: a growing number of adult children who struggle to progress to a psychological, social adulthood. The family patterns that revolve around adult children can remain inert for decades, are often resistant to conventional therapy, and can cause chronic suffering to adult children, parents, and extended families. The authors present a guide that addresses parents of adult children as suffering people in their own right and as essential to assisting their child into entering functional adulthood. The authors, one of whom is the originator of the Non-Violent Resistance Therapy approach (NVR), provide an intervention manual that implements NVR principles for helping families of adult children. The book is based on the authors' ten-year journey of helping such families in cases where traditional interventions and therapeutic values seem not to work.

Recensioner i media

'Congratulations to Dulberger and Omer on their comprehensive book, which is replete with strategies and skills that can be applied cross-culturally with families and their adult-child struggling with entrenched dependence. This book delineates a step-by-step guide for the application of the Non-Violent Resistance therapy approach for clinicians from various disciplines working with youths, who may be reliant on their parents or carers in ways that are unhelpful and developmentally inappropriate. Using a strengths-based and culturally sensitive approach, Dulberger and Omer provide families with the necessary tools required for diverse families to intentionally be present to their children to avoid and reduce accommodating responses that fuel entrenched dependence. This timely book will be instructive to clinicians working with youth not in employment or education.' Gina Dimitropoulos, Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Calgary, Canada
