VideoJames Bitter, EdD.
Summary: Carol and Glenn are the parents of three young children and are struggling with a problem that most parents and therapists are all too familiar with: their kids don't listen! With playfulness and humor, Bitter skillfully uncovers the goals that are motivating the parents' and children's behaviors and uses that understanding to create new possibilities in the family. This is a great opportunity to see an expert demonstrate a foundational Adlerian technique--the "Typical Day assessment"--which reveals the details of the family's interactions with each other, allowing Bitter to make specific recommendations to support the parents in co-leading the family more effectively. From advice such as "Act without talking" to "Cut the television cord," Bitter helps the parents work together to set limits that really work, ending the power struggle once and for all.
