The Parent/Child Game: The Proven Key to a Happier Family

This is a unique parenting book written from the perspective of a therapist who is also a mother and grandmother, using the basic tenets of the Parent/Child Game.

Sue Jenner has had twenty-five years of remarkable success working with difficult and problematic children using the foundations of the Parent/Child Game, a method developed in 1965 in the US by child psychologist Connie Kauf. Jenner's practice includes troubled children in every class of society all over the world, but always with the same results. Once a child and family have taken their cues from Sue Jenner, they leave with a better understanding of one another and with the tools towards a happier life together. The Parent/Child Game is solidly based in psychological theories that have stood the test of time. A big measure of the Parent/Child Game's effectiveness is due to its innovative use of new technology in linking the parent and therapist by earphone and microphone, while the children interact directly with their mother and father while playing a game of their own choice. This is the official form of the Game, but its basic ideas can be used by parents every day in the normal home environment to create a more harmonious family life for everyone. The author's warmth, humor and personal anecdotes makes The Parent/Child Game accessible and enjoyable for all parents; her expertise and experience make it an essential addition to any parents' library.

Sue Jenner is a distinguished Clinical Psychologist. She has worked for twenty-five years with troubles children, parents and families. While at the Maudley Hospital in London, she made several seminal television documentaries with the BBC QED program.
