Title: Lost Childhoods: The Plight Of The Parentified Child - Gregory J. Jurkovic PhD Post by: Wicker Man on October 08, 2018, 09:35:20 AM
This book written for use by therapists and academics. The language is challenging, but the book is incredibly informative and thoughtfully written. It is organized into two parts: Understanding and Treatment. The Understanding portion of the book handles defining the issue of parentifiacation and Treatment talks about the practice of evaluation, fallout from parentifiaction --the author spends quite a bit of time discussing the frequency, benefits and pitfalls of parentified children as adults working in 'helping' fields --specifically mental health care. I wish there was more information about how parentification effects couples -but the information given was insightful. This book opened up questions for me regarding parentification, also providing a few answers. It will allow me to speak more intelligently about the phenomenon with my therapist in my coming sessions. All in all I am glad I read it. Contents Part I Understanding: 1. Mapping the territory 2. A causal model of destructive parentification 3. Consequences - parentified children and their families. Part II Treatment: 4. Evaluating childhood parentification: The I-D-C model 5. Treating destructively parentified children and their families -systematic and ethical perspectives 6. Breaking the deadlock: The case of Jamie 7.Parentified children grown up: Treating destructive parentification in couples 8.Wounded healer: From parentified child to helping professional 9.Preventing destructive parentification.
