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.

Thanks to a recent study involving hundreds of super shrinks, we now have solid evidence for what distinguishes highly effective therapists. In this course, youll learn in detail the strategies and techniques used by these therapy stars. Youll also find out about an easily replicable system of feedback procedures that you can use to develop a profile of your own most and least effective moments in therapy--what works and what doesnt. Not only will you get a far more exact idea of your own clinical strengths and weaknesses and how to use the findings of this study in your own practices, but youll come away with concrete tools thatll immediately boost your clinical abilities and the power of your interventions.
