On the subject of dealing with parents, here are a couple more
which might be useful:

"Cutting Loose: An Adult Guide to Coming to Terms with Your Parents"
Howard M. Halpern, Ph.D.
(available in Bantam paperback edition)

"No One Is to Blame: Getting a Loving Divorce from Mom & Dad"
Bob Hoffman
1979, Science & Behavior Books, Inc. (Palo Alto, California)

	"The Quadrinity Process is the best method I know for the
	 re-alignment of relationships with parents and parent
	 surrogates and, more generally, a powerful tool in the
	 service of the development of love for self and others."

		Claudio Naranjo, M.D.
		(author of "The One Quest")

	"It will replace psychoanalysis."

		Jerry Rubin
		(author of "Growing Up at 37")

	"It is a thorough and exhaustive procedure which can save
	people a lot of time in growing . . . those who have been
	disappointed in other searches can find what they are
	looking for here."

		Lee Sannella, M.D.
		(author of "Kundalini: Psychosis or Transcendence?")

I have only skimmed the first book, before presenting it to a friend,
who was having problems dealing with feelings of insecurity and self-
reproach she learned as a child.  But, from what I did read of it, it
seemed very well done, and filled with practical suggestions.

The second one deals with the issue of the adult's relationship with
parents from the perspective of what seems to be a more comprehensive
program of therapy.  It is based upon describing a process developed
as a result of very successful workshops, originally given in the
San Francisco area, but now much more widespread, including the
territories of Chile, Spain, Israel, and India.  As should be clear
from a couple of the endorsements I have included, it is based upon
some notions coming out of what one might call "spiritual traditions",
particularly those of the East.

I would be interested in the comments (via personal correspondence, as
I read newsgroups rather haphazardly) of anyone who has any comments on
either of these books, or on the subject in general.
