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.

The nestling phenomenon is well known. And it is even spreading more and more: adult children stay at home, refuse to move out and stand on their own two feet. You have developed dysfunctional addiction. Their attitude towards parental all-round care goes hand in hand with financial and social irresponsibility and even addictive behavior. As soon as the parents try to break out of their granting and protective role, these young "inadults" react with demonstrations of power, which can also be violent. A pathological relationship pattern develops that dominates family life and can persist for many years. Haim Omer's tried and tested therapy concept of nonviolent resistance and the new authority supports parents of dysfunctional adolescents and young adults to break free from their powerlessness or even submission. The aim of counseling or therapy is functional dependency that is adequate for all involved.

Das Nesthocker-Phänomen ist bekannt. Und es verbreitet sich sogar zunehmend: Erwachsene Kinder verbleiben im Elternhaus, weigern sich auszuziehen und auf eigenen Füßen zu stehen. Sie haben eine dysfunktionale Abhängigkeit entwickelt. Ihre Anspruchshaltung gegenüber einer elterlichen Rundumversorgung geht einher mit finanzieller und sozialer Verantwortungslosigkeit bis hin zu Suchtverhalten. Sobald die Eltern aus ihrer gewährenden und beschützenden Rolle auszubrechen versuchen, reagieren diese jungen »Unerwachsenen« mit Machtdemonstrationen, die auch gewalttätig sein können. Es entwickelt sich ein pathologisches Beziehungsmuster, das das Familienleben beherrscht und sich über viele Jahre hartnäckig erhalten kann. Haim Omers bewährtes Therapiekonzept des gewaltlosen Widerstands und der Neuen Autorität unterstützt Eltern von dysfunktional abhängigen Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen, sich aus ihrer Machtlosigkeit oder gar Unterwürfigkeit zu lösen. Ziel einer Beratung oder Therapie ist eine für alle Beteiligten adäquate funktionale Abhängigkeit.
