Synopsis "Don't Blame the Parents: Positive Intentions, Scripts and Change in Family Therapy"
In Don’t Blame the Parents, Rudi Dallos gives insight into how child development problems arise in families, which is necessary for assessment of problems and choice of treatment interventions. He offers a framework for considering the development of problems in families whilst avoiding the trap of appearing to ‘blame’ families for them. In contrast, Dallos considers families as holding responsibility for problem development and their attempts to resolve difficulties. He argues that while parents generally act with good intentions on behalf of their children, they form their decisions based on unconscious ‘scripts’ that they have acquired from their own childhood experiences and suggests that ironically many problems are related to the operation of such scripts. The concepts are illustrated by detailed case examples from clinical practice and also research. The book features an integration of data from clinical sessions as well as from narrative attachment measures, such as the Adult Attachment Interview.In offering a way of combining a consideration of causation with a non-blaming orientation, the book will also be useful in assisting families to utilise services. This is particularly important in severe conditions, such as anorexia, autism, psychosis and self – harm where parents are prone to feelings of guilt and blame. More widely, service providers are engaged in serious debates considering the extent to which biological and medical based models of psycho-pathology are adequate. The need to consider psychological and relational factors in the development of serious mental health conditions is a pressing issue and this book will contribute to decisions regarding service development and delivery. Don’t Blame the Parents is a must-read for family therapy trainees as well as therapists, researchers, social workers, family support workers, and clinicians involved with families in a variety of ways.
