4.0 out of 5 stars Personal Authority, April 26, 2000
By 
Dale Irving (Sydney, Nova Scotia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Intimacy Paradox: Personal Authority in the Family System (Hardcover)
This book has been most helpful for me in developing a better sense of myself by exploring my place in the family system in which I grew up. In particular it enabled me to claim my own authority in relationship to my parents. Williamson's theory is that it is essential to find a way of eliminating the inter-generational hierarchical boundary that is created in the parent-child relationship in order to fully develop our sense of personal authority. The goal is to find a means to begin to relate with parents as peers once we have attained adulthood. When this is accomplished, paradoxically the intimacy deepens as this new relationship develops.
