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.

    VeLora from Sam Francisco:
    I love Imago work and use it with couples however you seem to have a different spin on it. Do you use the "dialogue"? and what are the six dreams you spoke of? Thank you for an intriguing presentaion.

    I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Hedy speak about the process that has evolved out of Imago. If they are willing to take up this process, I agree they will never be the same. I like your metaphors and your definition of your place in the process. Thanks for thoughtfully bringing your guidance to this forum. JL

    This comment/question comes right after watching the discussion with Bill Doherty (7.31.12). I realize you were talking about the mixed agenda couple; but what do you do with a couple who come in and BOTH appear to be 'leaning-out'? Of course, the fact that they are both sitting in your office must mean that on some level they may still hope their marriage can be saved. But if they both come in distant, hopeless, and wanting out, would you also offer a course of discernment therapy before tackling their marriage? In fact, given how much personal gain/growth comes from the discernment therapy as you describe it, would it not be a useful intervention for just about all distressed couples?
