Harville Hendrix has illuminated the paths to healthy, loving relationships in his New York Times bestsellers Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love You Find. Now, with his coauthor and wife, Helen Hunt, he brings us to a new understanding of the most profound love of all -- by helping parents nurture their own development as they encourage emotional wholeness in their children. This groundbreaking book offers a unique opportunity for personal transformation: by resolving issues that originated in our own childhood, we can achieve a conscious, and thus healthier, relationship with our children, regardless of their age. Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt help us explore: -The Imago -- the fantasy partner that our unconscious mind constructs from those we loved as a child, a that has guided our search for a life partner -Maximizer and Minimizer parents -- the defensive styles that internally shape what we say and how interact with our children -A Parenting Process that helps to end the "cycle of wounding" -- the handing-down of wounding we received as children -- as we raise our own children -Safety, Support, and Structure -- how to give children what they really need from us -Modeling Adulthood -- using our healed sense of self as a model for our children. With other practical, insightful approaches that can powerfully shape the parent-child bond, Giving the Love that Heals gives us the keys to helping our children to become healthy, responsible, and caring people.

This book is about what the authors call Conscious Parenting. By the name, it's hard to argue that such a thing could be anything but good.
It's a short but dense book. I listened to the audio edition, but I'll need to go back and take notes on the paper copy.
There's definitely some overlap with other development models, such as Bill Plotkin's Eight Stages of Ecosoulcentric Maturation. This shows that there's likely some validity to the model.
Hendrix/Hunt's basic premise is that difficulties in our relationships with our children indicate places where our parents weren't harmoniously involved with our lives at the corresponding place in our development. They see struggle as an opportunity for growth. The book definitely has spiritual and religious overtones, which, really, probably is a good thing when talking about parenting, as parenting should come from a values-oriented place, not just a functional or aesthetic perspective.
I have yet to experiment with these methods, but I look forward to trying some of them out. I'm also interested in exploring Hendrix/Hunt's models for partnership, as that's their main thing.
I give the book a three stars just because I feel like it's too short. It's full of examples, which I love. But I'd be interested in hearing how the methods were developed, and more time fleshing out the theories. ( )
