Therapists everywhere are recommending this book to their clients, so it just seems good practice to get ahead of your personal calamity and read the book now.
While the title may seem eviscerating to the people who brought you into existence, this book is good for anyone who feels emotionally unwell or unstable, and is not, at its core, an indictment against all parents. This book structurally examines how people form and maintain relationships, describes patterns for rupture and repair, as well as describing mature methods for adult communication and emotional regulation. This book is also excellent for parents as it helps address internal proclivities towards authoritarian or permissive parenting, and gives tools to address them. The main argument, towards the end of the book, is to heal the patterns so better ones can become integrated.
