In the process, adult children benefit from getting to know their parents as real people. In addition, during parental interviews, adult children can learn about themselves, learn about the origin of dynamics they currently experience in primary relationships, and intergenerational connections may be strengthened. This article suggests specific questions for clients to ask their parents when they conduct parental interviews as part of the course of therapy. The questions are specifically designed to aid clients in meeting the goals listed above.","PeriodicalId":184669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Activities, Assignments & Handouts in Psychotherapy Practice","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131881482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this column I've asked for commentary from three of my colleagues in the graduate programs in counseling at Our Lady of Holy Cross College. Each of them come from different professional paths in their education and clinical training. Each reflect distinct life positions by their age and family life stage. Dr. Paul T. Ceasar was in full-time private practice for nearly 10 years and is currently Associate Professor and Director of Counseling Programs. Dr. Susan H. Niemann is Assistant Professor of Counseling Education, and taught high school chemistry for several years before pursuing her doctorate. Dr. George N. Hay is a full-time Senior Adjunct Professor and a 'founding father' of the marriage and family program at Holy Cross. He is an ordained Baptist minister and was a church pastor and civil rights activist from 1952–1968. He had a very popular call-in radio show in New Orleans in the 1980s, and has been in clinical practice for nearly 50 years. Along with teaching and writing and presenting in the field of counseling and therapy, all three of my colleagues provide clinical supervision and maintain a private practice in New Orleans. I can attest to the fact that their differences are expressed and celebrated daily in the collaborative and complementary ways in which these three work together in scholarship, teaching, and clinical training. The diversity of perspectives, therapeutic styles, and theoretical orientations makes for a rich clinical discussion of the foregoing case.","PeriodicalId":184669,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Activities, Assignments & Handouts in Psychotherapy Practice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130314918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of the many personal and social costs of depression, interventions that successfully prevent and treat depressive disorders must be part and parcel of a psychotherapist's treatment regime.
