Description

In this ground-breaking book, a well-known clinical psychologist exposes the epidemic of emotional problems disabling America’s privileged youth due to normalized, intrusive parenting. Studies show that affluent teenagers are experiencing high rates of depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders. Materialism, pressure to achieve, perfectionism, and disconnection are creating a devastating storm. Clinical psychologist Madeline Levine provides practical advice to help parents cultivate an authentic sense of self in their emotionally troubled children.
