The Intimacy Paradox : Personal Authority in the Family System Paperback / softback
by Donald S. Williamson
Part of the The Guilford Family Therapy Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
Although most people physically leave home by their early 20s, emotional separation from one's family is a more difficult process that can continue for a lifetime.
Now available in paper for the first time, this acclaimed book addresses the struggle of adults to establish autonomy without sacrificing family connections.
Donald S. Williamson presents personal authority therapy, an approach designed to simultaneously foster individual development and family-of-origin intimacy.
Therapists are taken step by step through conducting individual, couple, and small group sessions that culminate in several sessions with each client and his or her parents.
Writing with sensitivity and humor, the author demonstrates effective ways to help adult children construct new personal and family narratives, resolve intergenerational intimidation, and enjoy healthier, more equal relationships with parents and significant others.
