There’s a simple reason Dr. Arnold Nerenberg has become one of the nations’ most popular commentators and experts on family relationships and parenting:  He isn’t afraid to push the envelope and consider revolutionary – and sometimes controversial – psychological approaches.  With a fearless commitment to explore potential ways to alleviate emotional turmoil and the erosion of parent-child relationships, he has looked beyond traditional psychological approaches and developed brand new therapies, many of which are astonishingly effective.

One of the most controversial and effective therapies Dr. Nerenberg developed is “Death Visualization” therapy.  Originally developed as a tool to promote parental respect among teens, Death Visualization involves the use of an actual coffin.  Out-of-control teens are led through intense counseling and then prompted to visualize their mother or father in the coffin.  The process has proven remarkably effective at getting kids to appreciate what they have before it’s gone.  Dr. Nerenberg has also used Death Visualization with positive results in the treatment of drug abusers, aggressive drivers and abusive spouses.

Other cutting-edge psychological approaches developed by Dr. Nerenberg include the “Power Thought” technique and “Tattoo Therapy,” both of which improve the effectiveness of traditional counseling by reinforcing positive thoughts and corrective behaviors.  While other parenting “gurus’ have provided complex therapies and extensive treatises on parenting and family relationships, Dr. Nerenberg has cut to the core of the problem and crystallized powerful methods in simple, non-threatening ways.  His revolutionary approach to parenting, for example, focuses on the simple issues of quality time spent as a family, unconditional love and unconditional respect.

As a clinical psychologist Dr. Nerenberg has treated thousands of individuals, couples and families – all part of his commitment to save the family unit and restore healthy relationships.  He is unlike any other mental health professional, and his results are unmatched.
