CLOSING THE GAP A Strategy for Bringing Parents and Teens Together

In a program aimed at parents and teens, the 22-year-old son of Dr. Phil, the well-known hard-hitting psychologist, gives us a remarkable lesson on getting through the high-risk years with your children. On top of sophisticated insights about typical parent-teen dilemmas, there's fabulous help with narrowing the communication gap, most of it delivered in a step-by-step format that stays comprehensible start to finish. Like his Dad, the author is a bit of a hot dog, but it's tolerable because the advice is so good. Also like Dad, Jay McGraw has a gift for promoting personal responsibility that is extraordinary. One of the best audios on the subject. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
