Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A masterpiece in terms of the initiatives it proposes for achieving healthy and successful families in American society today.”  Psychiatric Services
“Based on the very sound principle that parents must be willing to really parent, each tool of talking and listening, disciplining, and guiding by example…is backed by McGraw’s rock-bottom, no-two-ways-about-it confidence that nurturing our children and strengthening our families is the most important work that any of us can be doing. This plain-spoken guide will convince millions that this is so.”  Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“There apparently is no bottom to the well of intelligent advice that appears in Dr. Phil’s books and audios. With the earnestness and vigor we hear on his TV show, he lays out a bulletproof defense of the importance of the family in preparing children for life in an X-rated world. He speaks kindly but firmly to parents who make excuses when they can’t find the courage they need to provide good moral structure. The advice about getting professional help is especially practical so that by the end of the program you know your family’s problems are not unique or hopeless.”  AudioFile
