About this listen

Immediate interventions for struggling families, integrating four distinct areas of psychology.

Children and families burdened with attachment disruption, emotional distress, or psychological disorders need effective and immediate assistance. They do not have the time to wait for long-term interventions or developmental changes to improve the parent-child relationship. Here, psychologists Elizabeth A. Sylvester and Kat Scherer provide the most effective approach in such situations: interventions that impact the entire family at relational, emotional, and cognitive-behavioral levels, and that give parents agency to have rapid therapeutic impact on their children's lives and well-being.

This addition to the celebrated Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology integrates four distinct areas of psychology: neurobiology, attachment theory, emotion, and relationship-based discipline. This integration produces a clear point of entry for therapists working with struggling families and provides interventions that are logical, doable, and highly effective.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I have looked for a book that combines these subject areas for a long time, and have found it in this work. There are many books on attachment parenting, and many on discipline, as there are on the neuroscience of children’s brains, and emotion regulation in children. This integrative approach combines all these, as well as looking at the importance of adult regulation as a means to approaching discipline in a relationship based, attuned way. The results are amazing; a thoroughly well researched and, more importantly, practical guide, illustrating how we must regulate ourselves in order to help our children to do so. If we put the work in as adults, and attend to ourselves, an attuned relationship with our children makes discipline easier. More than that though, it provides a hopefulness and a no blame approach that is accessible to therapists and parents alike. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

A brilliant book
