Autor PhD Sachs, Brad E.
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iul 2010

In today's rapidly changing world and challenging economy, young adults increasingly find themselves at a crossroads between financial and emotional dependence and autonomy. Drawing on Dr. Sachs' extensive clinical experience and his illuminating discussion of the latest psychological research, "Emptying the Nest" will support parents in their efforts to cultivate their young adult's success and self-reliance while simultaneously maintaining healthy family relationships. Parents will:

- understand the family dynamics that either impede or nurture self-sufficiency;
- foster a higher degree of academic, professional, and fiscal responsibility;
- effectively encourage young adults to establish realistic goals and create a meaningful vision for their future;
- learn how to gradually let go, so that young adults discover how to resolve their own problems.

Recenzii


'In Emptying the Nest, Dr. Brad Sachs once again insightfully maps out the challenging terrain of contemporary parenthood. Skillfully and gently, he leads readers through the complex choreography required not only to help young adults achieve the well-documented need for healthy separation and self-sufficiency, but also to help them cultivate what is often overlooked - that a life well-lived must have significance and meaning. Practical and compassionate, innovative and empathic, this book provides parents with the necessary tools to finish the job right. Emptying the Nest will help empower family members of two generations to evolve into the next stage of development, growing towards a new and deeper maturity.' - Madeline Levine, Ph.D, author of The Price of Privilege
 
'Finally, there's a timely book that thoughtfully addresses the dilemmas plaguing parents and their 'not ready for prime time' young adults who won't or can't leave home. In Emptying the Nest, family psychologist Dr. Brad Sachs zeroes in on the parent/grown child issues which interfere with a healthy and self-assured departure. With piercing insight, compassion, and a measure of firmness, Dr. Sachs helps us to chart the course for the modern young adult's march towards independence and maturity. Beautifully written, informative, and filled with vivid real-life vignettes, it's a must read for all parents concerned about their child's lingering, and their own difficulty letting go.' - Neil Bernstein, Ph.D., parenting expert and author of There When He Needs You
 
'For almost three decades, family psychologist Dr. Brad Sachs has written about parents and children with wit, warmth, and wisdom. In his newest and much-needed volume, Emptying the Nest, he offers us unique insight and realistic counsel when it comes to addressing the dilemmas and conflicts that arise when young adults have returned to their parents' home, or are having difficulty leaving. With an unwavering focus on the reciprocal needs of parent and young adult, Dr. Sachs reassuringly guides readers through the last stage of hands-on parenthood with a generous helping of care, candor, and sensitivity.' - Jerrold Lee Shapiro, Ph.D., Professor at Santa Clara University, USA and author of The Measure of a Man
 
Review of The Good Enough Child
 
'With wisdom, warmth, and wit, Brad Sachs puts the fun back into parenting.' - Armin A. Brott, author of The Expectant Father and The New Father
 
'As soon as I looked at the title I thought, 'YES!' I know it will help a lot of parents...' - Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D., author of Ten Talks Parents Must Have with Their Children about Sex and Character
 
'A thoughtful, intelligently written, yet readable book with much wisdom and insight to offer on parenting, family life, and marriage...an extremely valuable perspective.' - Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., author of The Explosive Child
 
'A truly remarkable book...provides a wealth of information about parenting skills, but does so within a framework that helps parents to learn to accept their own strengths and vulnerabilities as well as those of their children.' - Dr. Robert Brooks, co-author of Raising Resilient Children
