Whatever Happened to Parental Authority?

Parental AuthorityBy Rich Simon It seems astonishing that even just two or three decades ago, parents not only pretty much knew what was expected of them to turn their offspring into civilized adults, but they could actually count on society to back them up. Even more astounding, kids seemed to understand this, too. Even if they rebelled against, yelled about, or sullenly resented how “unfair” adults were, they seemed to acknowledge adult authority and realize that they would just have to wait until they turned 18 to get for themselves the keys to the kingdom of grown-up independence.

    I would really like to thank you for this encompassing discussion. I have never thought about what to do regarding cutting, statutory rape, etc. The guidance and opportunity to evaluate real stories was incredibly helpful.

    I completely connected with the idea of feeling guilty with only meeting the standard of the law. After working in the social service field for 5 years (residential and in-home services), I walked away concluding that this world was a bunch of sick people caring for sick people. I couldn't believe the number of coworkers I had that were dealing with various addictions that I believed could potentially harm clients either physically or emotionally and at the least subject clients to "sloppy therapy." So Clifton, thank you for this informative discussion and if there is any way possible you could possibly shed some light on the subject of duty to warn when the therapist is impaired that would be much appreciated.

    I have been taking this ethical course NP 0017. I loved Clifton Mitchell's presentation between the law and the code and mental health professionals duties. He had excellent examples of situations that moved my understanding to another level. This represents one more of the sessions that I will need to listen to at least 2-3 times. I am grateful it is on for a year. I especially liked how close Clifton Mitchell adhered to his outline/slides presented beforehand, where I could make notes right on my print out of the slides. It helped me to track what he had to say.
