Other Resources
I hope to be
able to add new articles, books or audio-visual sources to this list
about every four or five weeks. (Most recent
update: August 9, 2007 to Attachment Parenting section.) These titles
are all useful in describing the theory and approaches which I
use in my practice.
One of
the richest sources of current articles about therapy (theory and
practice) is the Journal of Marital and Family Therapy(JMFT).

Attachment and Parenting
Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate, Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Matter.
Knopf Canada, 2004.(Softcover, [less technical] Revised version,
2007)
See Dr. Neufeld's web site for more on attachment parenting. His approach is neatly summarized in the DVD "Hold on to Your Kids", which also has a French language sound track.
To-day's
parents (and many of
their parents) have been encouraged to help their children to make connections with children, to form friendships, to join in groups and clubs and to be part of their peer group. In the process, and helped along by the entertainment and news media, our children have grown increasingly closer to people their own age and further from us - the adult/parental group. Their points of reference have become horizontal instead of the traditional vertical ones. Neufeld and Mate make a strong case for reversing this trend and for helping parents to get back into the driver's seat where they can be a much more important factor in their child's growth.
