What distinguishes The Manual from other parenting and relationship self-help books

The Manual is a revolutionary, groundbreaking parenting book based upon the Causal Theory, which is a parenting theory drawn from cause and effect. The Manual addresses issues of our time, as today’s parents re-invent their roles and reassess traditional parenting styles. This book instructs parents how to raise healthy, compassionate, ethical, charismatic, good natured and low-maintenance children. It addresses state-of-the-art information on ethics, discipline and the pros and cons of very real issues such as bullies, trauma, bedwetting and identifying symptoms of physical and sexual abuse. Parents are taught how to perceive and facilitate the healing of their own child from small issues to major ones (ideally with the help of a therapist). It addresses issues of personality formation, genetics and the pharmaceutical industry, “blaming parents” and guilt. It is a book that adults, whether parents or not, can use to increase their own self-awareness and to understand others.

This reference guide also addresses the treatment of ADHD and RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder, behaviors resulting from insufficient and broken bonds). It reviews the critical important of attachment and concerns with attachment parenting on one hand and daycare on the other. This book includes a review of child custody issues and other forensic evaluations that address causes behind behavior. While it is both a guide for parents and professionals, including forensic psychologists, it is written in lay terms to reach a broad market and the people raising our next generation: parents.

To satisfy academic requirement and professionals around the globe, The Manual is well documented featuring two indexes, a glossary, almost one hundred charts, and another near hundred text boxes of relevant quotes by experts. Finally, it teaches the reader how to assess a therapist and what the differences are between theories of psychology, how they are practiced and the long-term ramifications behind them.

Most importantly, this book teaches parents what the most critical issues of parenting are, how to perceive the needs of their children and how not to sweat the small stuff, because when one knows what matters, parenting can finally be so much fun. When you enjoy your child, your child thrives. When enough parents enjoy their children, the world will be a better place for us all.

"However, the truth screams at us to be heard and our children will continue to send us messages that they need to be seen. Eventually we will see. Hopefully it will begin in our lifetime. Perhaps our society will have to backslide further before we awaken. Fortunately, nature has a way of getting our attention."

"Children are born to bond and to attach. That is their primary, gene-driven drive. Children need one continuous, primary, attuned caregiver in the first three or four years of life. When children have so much as that, they thrive in life. I call them Twice-Blessed. As a child they are adored. As an adult they are revered."

These are the opening word by Dr. Faye Snyder, PsyD. In this book Dr. Faye Synder identifies RAD, discussing what it is and how to heal it.

"So here I am in the trenches, armed with proof from excellent research in my field, a profession that is still blind to evidence and is itself unhealed and susceptible to politics. There’s a war out there between the children who grew up protecting their parents and the ones who never had to."

These are the closing word by Dr. Faye Snyder, PsyD. In this book Dr. Faye tackles "The War Of The Reasearchers" and the False Memory Syndrome Foundation (FMSF)
