"Children of the Self-Absorbed offers practical advice and
guidance. The creative techniques and exercises are priceless to
both the reader learning how to identify destructive parental
behaviors and how to cope with them as well as the reader learning
to nurture and protect his or her own developing self."
--Susan Hopper, Ph.D., clinical psychologist in private practice in
St. Louis, MO
"Children of narcissistic parents are provided techniques to dig
themselves out of impossible relationships with their parents...a
thoroughly well thought out, useful manual to help adult children
move toward more productive connection to their narcissistic
parents, to themselves, and to others."
--Joan Medway, Ph.D., LCSW, psychologist in private practice in
Potomac, MD
"For those of us who have often suffered the inevitable humiliating
regression back to childhood during every holiday with the
family...this book offers real help to the reader to develop the
self-protective art of indifference, a cloak that can be used at
many a holiday gathering...and to understand the subtle yet
profound differences between ineffective and effective
confrontation, empathy and sympathy, and attaching response and
defusing strategy...a completely new cupboard of techniques."
--Joel C. Frost, Ed.D., assistant clinical professor of psychology
in the Department of Psychology at Harvard Medical School
