Summary
This book is a guide for therapists working with families of adult-children who are dependent on their parents in highly dysfunctional ways. It is based on 10 years of our clinical work with hundreds of such families. It summarizes what we have learned about the use of Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) therapy in such cases, and shares what we learned about the processes of entrenched dependence, accommodation and de-accommodation and their roles in perpetuating or alleviating these families’ sufferings.
