They manipulate you, smother you, demand your attention or elicit your resentment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn clear, nonclinical terms, renowned psychotherapist Dr. Howard Halpern shows you how to break these familiar family routines so that you can build healthy, rewarding parent-child relationships. He teaches you, for example, how to handle martyred mothers, despotic fathers, and moralistic, unloving, or seductive parents. He also addresses the sensitive topics of how to deal with aging, divorced, or dying parents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResolving conflicts with your parents will enable you, finally, to cut loose--to start being yourself rather than your parent's child.
