Parenting adolescents, particularly if they act out, is not easy. Parenting acting-out adolescents is living on the edge. Worries and fears for parents escalate as hopes for taken-for-granted parenting diminish. Parents are caught off guard and feel rudderless in a sea of uncertainty. The printing press offers many ‘how to’ books on parenting, but offers far fewer studies of these parents’ experiences as their life unfolds. As a result, there is insufficient information available for health professionals to enhance their understanding of parents in crisis with their adolescents. This book offers a glimpse into the inner world of parenting ‘on the edge,’ within a societal realm of guilt and blame, and presents a hermeneutic interpretation of the changes occurring in that experience. Both parents and health professionals will fine useful insights for a deeper understanding of this journey.
