Abstract
“I love my child, but I just don’t like him very much.” This common sentiment was expressed by the frustrated and guilt-ridden mother of a four-year-old child, who was seeking help in managing her son’s disruptive and noncompliant behavior. She was typical of many parents who feel incompetent in their parenting role and acknowledge that anger, despair, and depression interfere with their ability to provide nurturance to their young children.
