Broken relationships between adult children and their parents is a widespread phenomenon. While the parent-child attachment relationship is of critical importance for the child in the early years of life, the parent-child relationship continues to be a source of great importance over the course of the individual’s life span for both the child and the parent. For adults and adult children who are estranged/alienated from each other, the pain and dissatisfaction never fully go away. Despite the prevalence of the problem of ruptured relationships, there are few resources available for mental health professionals working with this population. This book provides a tool for clinicians to turn to when they are working with adult children and their parents seeking to resolve conflict, improve communication, and enhance their relationships.

In some families, the nightmare of parental alienation ends when the adult child and the rejected parent find each other and choose—tentatively—to become reacquainted. Although the bad dream is over, the child and parent may still be confused, perturbed, angry, and frightened. This book is a guide for therapists who aim to help their clients get through this critical period of time, which can be both terrifying and wonderful.
