Theoretical Basis
Parent(ing) not cause of child’s personality & behavior. No need to explore childhood. Behavioral causes are inborn (therefore rather permanent).
|
Theoretical Basis
Bad things can happen to children but won’t create personality or behavior, because personality is inborn.
|
Ramifications and Practice
DENIAL/REPRESSION ETHIC. These theorists see poorly & are blind to trauma, causes, & clues, not believing in identifying original cause. Fear of feelings. Medicate symptoms and/or pray.
|
Ramifications and Practice
RESCUE. Protect and punish abuse, but don’t blame parents for child’s behavior, especially adult child’s behavior.
