1st Edition
by Eric Maisel (Author)
Helping Survivors of Authoritarian Parents, Siblings, and Partners
considers the notion of the authoritarian personality in a family
context and examines the extent to which authoritarians traumatize the
people closest to them. Building on primary research, Dr. Maisel
presents first-person accounts of life with authoritarian family members
and provides clinicians and other professionals with tactics and
strategies for helping clients who struggle with the impact of these
experiences. This unique look at authoritarians at home serves to
redefine the authoritarian personality, expand our understanding of
family trauma, and give voice to the silent epidemic of authoritarian
wounding.
