Cut Off
How Therapy Culture Is Fueling the Parental Estrangement Epidemic
Richard L. Blake, PhD · Foreword by Ulrika Johnson
About the book
Family estrangement has become common, and almost nobody understands why it happens. Cut Off is a clear-eyed look at the patterns underneath it: the dynamics, the misunderstandings, the cultural shifts, and the part therapy language plays in turning ordinary family friction into permanent silence.
It is written for the people most often left in the dark. Parents on the receiving end. Family members on either side who want to understand what happened. The practitioners trying to help them.
It doesn't take sides, and it doesn't promise reconciliation. It explains what is going on, so that whatever you decide to do next, you do it with your eyes open.
