Description

Ben Grey interviews Rudi Dallos on his new book 'Don't blame the parents': Don’t blame the parents explores the ubiquitous issue of blame and responsibility in families, especially of parents feeling lamed for causing or exacerbating problems. The book examines problems that we all encounter in family relationships, whether with children’s behaviour, marital anxiety, or not feeling like we are the effective parent that we intend to be. Blame can restrict our ability as therapists, clinicians and family members to explore family dynamics and responsibility for emerging problems in a constructive and progressive way. It can prevent exploration of family dynamics and of finding workable options for long-term positive change and better understanding the role of the family unit.
