Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"Labeled a silent epidemic by a growing number of therapists and researchers,
estrangement
is one of the most disorienting and painful experiences of a parent's life. Popular opinion typically tells a one-sided story of parents who got what they deserved or overly entitled
adult
children
who wrongly blame their parents. However, the reasons for
estrangement
are far more complex and varied. As a result of rising rates of individualism, an increasing cultural emphasis on happiness, growing economic insecurity, and a historically recent perception that parents are obstacles to personal growth, many parents find themselves forever shut out of the lives of their
adult
children
and grandchildren. As a trusted psychologist whose own daughter
cut
off contact for several years and eventually reconciled, Dr. Joshua Coleman is uniquely qualified to guide parents in navigating these fraught interactions. He helps to alleviate the ongoing feelings of shame, hurt, guilt, and sorrow that commonly attend these dynamics. By placing
estrangement
into a cultural context, Dr. Coleman helps parents better understand the mindset of their
adult
children
and teaches them
how
to implement the strategies for reconciliation and healing that he has seen work in his forty years of practice.
Rules
of
Estrangement
gives parents the language and the emotional tools to engage in meaningful conversation with their child, the framework to cultivate a healthy relationship moving forward, and the ability to move on if reconciliation is no longer possible. While
estrangement
is a complex and tender topic, Dr. Coleman's insightful approach is based on empathy and understanding for both the parent and the
adult
child."--Publisher.
