For many parents of troubled teenagers, a therapeutic program that takes the child from the home for a period of time offers some respite from the daily tumult of acting out, lies, and tension that has left the family under siege. However, just as the teenager is embarking on a journey of self-discovery, skill-development, and emotional maturation, so parents too need to use this time to recognize that their own patterns may have contributed to their family s downward spiral. This is The Parallel Process.
Using case studies garnered from her many years as an adolescent and family therapist, Krissy Pozatek shows parents of pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults how they can help their children by attuning to emotions, setting limits, not rushing to their rescue, and allowing them to take responsibility for their actions, while recognizing their own patterns of emotional withdrawal, workaholism, and of surrendering their lives and personalities to parenting. As such, The Parallel Process is an essential primer for all parents, whether of troubled teens or not, who are seeking to help the family stay and grow together as they negotiate the potentially difficult teenage years.

Thank you Krissy Pozatek for writing such a clear, straightforward account of the process the whole family goes through when there is such "in-balance" in your family. This should be required reading for all families who have had to send their adolescent child to a wilderness program and then on to aftercare. I could not put the book down. Although our son did not have substance abuse or truancy problems-- but instead egregious opposition, there are many parallels from which to draw and pitfalls to avoid. Krissy describes a little part of us in each case-study. We are better parents for our three children as a result of her book.

This is the only book needed by parents who've already decided to use a wilderness intervention for their out-of-control teen. You'll be glad you sent them out after you hear what the author has to say about the process, the clinical logic behind the wilderness milieu, and the miracles experiential therapy can produce. A former wilderness therapist and clinician, she writes beautifully, and knowingly, about what both you and your child are going through. The book will help you understand what you need to do while he/she is away, and how to prepare for your child's next steps after wilderness. Stylistically, the book is a joy to read and should be on every parent, child psychiatrist, pediatrician, counselor and youth advisor's shortlist.
