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. # # # |
