If you want to land your kids in therapy, then by all means, give them everything under the sun -Dr Michael Carr-Gregg I have never openly criticised another professional in this field but I just cannot let this go. It is the catch phrase to promote his new book on parenting. This naive, personal ideology is not based on any science or evidence. At the very least, this is an insult to every person who has landed in therapy. It is a fundamental lack of understanding of the role of childhood neglect and abuse in a persons mental health and need to seek help. Michael, Id love to introduce you to all the children we have ever provided therapy to, Im sure youll find none would qualify your statement, of having received everything under the sun. The need for therapeutic intervention is not caused by giving children everything under the sun. His attack on parents for not saying no enough is equally ignorant and is likely to encourage punitive approaches in young parents that will be more harmful than loving and responsive parenting. Im happy to debate Dr Carr-Gregg on these points, anytime! - Stephan
