Problems of Childhood Self-Regulation in an Age of Permissiveness: Journal of Orgonomy Article

November 8, 2023child care, children, father, medication, mother, orgonomy, parenting, relationships, therapychild, children, emotions, orgonomy, parenting, psychiatry, Reich, relationships, therapyadifferentkindofpsychiatry

This episode features the narration of the article Problems of Childhood Self-Regulation in an Age of Permissiveness by Peter A. Crist, M.D. reprinted in the Journal of Orgonomy Volume 46 number 2. Originally published in Volume 33 in 1999, Dr. Crist’s article is even more applicable today as parenting has become increasingly indulgent in today’s anti-authority social environment. We hope you’ll share this important information with parents and educators so that those responsible for child-care can have a functional perspective, free of both moralism and an “anything goes” lenient approach.
