review 1: On a lazy afternoon, I was sitting in an almost empty tent at a village fair. Opposite me were some 14 year olds, slapping each other on the shoulder, wide-eying me and trying to point in my direction without me noticing. I was temporarily puzzled by that, until I realized that they could see the titleof the book I was reading, in large letters on the cover. Undisturbed, I continued my agreeable read.The book focuses on some seven different ways in which you can ruin your children. It is of course ironical, but the authors nicely keep up the pretense that your objective would actually be to traumatize your children to the maximum possible.Some of the parent types are the spoiler, the best-friend-forever, the ambitious parent, the continuously disappointed parent and so on... more. Many of the hints on how to emotionally cripple your children are unfortunately very recognizable in real parents that you know.A funny short book that is wittily written, and an ideal present for parents-to-be.
review 2: In this concise, well-researched book any parent or potential parent can learn effective tools on the best way to traumatize their children and contribute to the success of the psychotherapy career field. Whether it be the neglector, the best friend, self-esteem killer, narcissist, controller, pusher, or the indulger, each reader will find the best category that fits their own personality. In addition, the author helpfully gives advice on how to combine the various types, as some go hand-in-hand with others. The indulger works very well with the best friend, for example. The most helpful section, by far, is where the author discusses basics that ALL have in common which then enable the reader to create or modify their own traumatization type and to just have fun with this. Two of the biggest pieces of advice to remember are: inconsistency is key and never justify, never explain. I give this 4 out of 5 therapy couches less
