Beskrivning
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.

'This fascinating and provocative book reflects a wide and deep understanding of systems ideas. Williamson asks the question: 'How does one leave home emotionally and yet remain lovingly connected with one's family of origin?'...His is a thought-provoking and controversial view...full of humor and clinical nuggets as well as profound ideas. - Monica McGoldrick, LCSW, PhD (h.c.)'Any person who has ever seen or heard Don Williamson speak knows he is a master at melding his personal life with his theoretical and therapeutic work. In - The Intimacy Paradox, Williamson has succeeded in writing what he does so well in his presentations. This book is the authoritative work on the concept of personal authority in the family system.''An interesting, theoretically sophisticated, and useful guide.' - AFTA Newsletter'Williamson is utterly persuasive when making the case that achieving wholeness of the self cannot be best built on separation of that self from the parents of origin ... He makes his points in a context of respect for the client, the client's spouse, and the client's parents albeit a context that is open to play and humor and not taking itself too seriously. Williamson not too seriously does very serious work.' - Contemporary Psychology
