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.

No longer confined to a strictly psychological viewpoint, therapists today are incorporating neuroscience research, mind-body healing strategies, and spiritual practices, along with the insights gleaned from a century of psychological learning, to better serve our clients in all their depth and complexity. This Reading Course explores how therapists can incorporate a broader frame of meaning and personal identity into their work. Walter Truett Anderson examines the meaning of "enlightenment" and argues that it is a thoroughly natural development that can, among other places, emerge in a therapist's consulting room. Richard Schwartz shows how cultivating our inner Self can reconnect us with our fundamental core and transform therapy for both therapist and client. Douglas Flemons describes the "Tao of Therapy" and how dualistic thinking separates us from experience. In her profile of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mary Sykes Wylie looks at one of the most influential figures in bringing eastern practices into the mainstream of western health care.
