- Summary:
- "Non-Violent Resistance (NVR) is an approach to families, schools and communities that is inspired by the doctrine championed by the Mahatma Gandhi and by Martin Luther King. At first view, it may seem puzzling that an approach that was developed for resisting political oppression effectively and morally should be found relevant for helping parents of children with behavior problems. Parents are not usually in a position of weakness relative to their children, nor do they experience themselves as oppressed. Nevertheless, the moment we understood that the principles and methods of socio-political NVR could help in our therapeutic work with parents, enormous possibilities opened up. To understand this, we must recapitulate what, in our view, was missing (and still is) in psychotherapists' work with parents"-- Provided by publisher
