Parenting Adults

In Dr. Mark McConville's decades of experience as a family clinical psychologist, perhaps no problem has been more fraught than that of young adults who fail to successfully transition from adolescence into adulthood.

In fact, studies show that one in four Americans aged 25 to 34 neither work nor attend school - a problem that spans all socioeconomic and geographic boundaries.

Either way, as adults we are often left feeling anxious or depressed because who we really are has been ignored.

Those who have had a narcissistic parent can testify to how damaging it can be to one's psyche.
