LEADING PSYCHOLOGIST USES CONTROVERSIAL

“COFFIN TREATMENT” FOR WAYWARD TEENS

            WHITTIER, CA -- Renowned psychologist Dr. Arnold Nerenberg has developed a controversial therapy called “death visualization” to treat violent, anti-social and uncontrollable teens.  The treatment, which involves the visualization -- or actual placing --of a parent or loved one in a real coffin, has proven effective in deterring negative behavior and restoring productive parent-child relationships.

            “Death visualization,” says Nerenberg, “is intended to bring teens to an emotional level so they can consciously appreciate and cherish what they have, before it’s too late.  By visualizing a parent, loved one, or even themselves in an actual coffin, they instinctively release emotions that provide the foundation for continued recovery and behavior modification.”

            Despite criticism of the ‘coffin treatment’ as a draconian and unnecessary response to teens who might respond positively to other therapies, Nerenberg contends it is an effective treatment that can almost instantly change the outlook of a troubled teen.

            “How many times do we hear,” adds Nerenberg, “of children and adults who only come to appreciate mentors in their lives after that person is gone?  If teenagers can truly come to appreciate important figures in their lives while these people are still alive, many behavior problems will stop.”

            Considered the world’s leading authority on aggressive driving and road rage, Dr. Nerenberg has appeared on many national television programs including Montel, Leeza, and Politically Incorrect.  He is the author of the new book, Raising Adults to be Parents.
