Токсичные родители. Как вернуть себе нормальную жизнь

This book is about parents whose flaws do lasting harm to their children. Most parents let us down now and then. Susan Forward looks at the ones who cause deep emotional wounds. She does not soften her view of them.

The book shows how such parents control their children. They use their authority and guilt. They use other tactics that wear down a person's self-worth. Forward explains how readers can undo the effect of these tricks.

It is a self-help book for adults who still carry pain from childhood. It aims to help them move past that pain. It also helps them break the patterns of hurtful relationships learned at home. The authors tell readers not to blame themselves for the past. Their goal is a life built on self-confidence and emotional independence.

Susan Forward wrote the book with Craig Buck. This edition is part of the EkoPocket series.
