Divorce also opens up young children to abuse by non-family members who are brought into their lives -- boyfriends, step-dads and step-brothers and step-uncles who are more likely to abuse a child who is not theirs.I actually made an entire note in my notes app dedicated to all the things I found problematic and infuriating about this book as I read it. Divorce puts unthinkable pressure on young children that they do not have emotional maturity to handle.

the moral degeneracy of society since the 1950s, and the breakdown of the nuclear family into 'faux-families' (his term) and sexual deviancy (which, Kreisman explicitly states, includes homosexuality).

He took the easy road and wrote bpd off as “a diagnosis for a bad person”, like the child he seems to be.

If it wasn't already clear, this book is utterly filled with misogynistic, ageist, asides that have little to do with anything.
