I am always interested in the topics that break through to mainstream discussion. It seems like the current hot topic over the last few weeks has been parental estrangement.
I have seen this article referenced a few times:
Is Cutting Off Your Family Good Therapy?
There are also several YouTube videos where it's the main topic of discussion.
One theme I've pulled out from these discussions is how therapy is partly to blame for the phenomenon. There are books like Bad Therapy (which I haven't read) and Rules of Estrangement (which I have read) that point to psychotherapy as a culprit for the perceived rise in estrangement. I have had several clients on both sides of the estrangement, so it's been interesting to watch the developing conversation.
Here are a couple of other news articles discussing in. The NPR article interviews the author of Rules of Estrangement.

I thought I would share since it tends to show up in our offices once it hits the news.
