Treating Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: A Clinician's Guide

If you treat clients who grew up with an emotionally immature, unavailable, or self-involved parent, you know the lingering feelings of anger, loneliness, betrayal, or abandonment these clients experience. This comprehensive guide goes beyond mechanistic prescriptions to show you how to help clients not only recover but to also restart their own personal growth and self-actualization process.

In Treating Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Lindsay C. Gibson draws on more than thirty years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist and outlines a unique approach to treating a common syndrome that shapes the lives of so many people seeking therapy. Gibson shares her perspectives on the goals of therapy, and what therapists need to know in order to provide the most effective interventions. Using these insights, you can help your clients heal from feelings of loneliness and abandonment, improve confidence, decrease reactivity to emotionally immature behavior, find healthy ways to stop self-sacrificing and meet their own emotional needs, and rediscover their true selves.

By helping clients free themselves from the effects of emotionally immature people, you'll help them to create healthy, positive relationships that uplift them and improve their quality of life.
