Whose Couch is it Anyway? Moving your Millennial
$4.99 – $14.95
by Phyllis Goldberg & Rosemary Lichtman
This fascinating book explores the impact on five different families after an adult child moves back home.
The number of “boomerang kids” has increased by 50% in the past 30 years. In fact, one-third of those between the ages of 18 and 34 live with their parents, an all-time high. Many Millennials are unemployed, and as a group, they carry $1 trillion in student loans.
This degree of social change is wreaking havoc with traditional models of family dynamics. Boundaries become blurred between parents and children, whose passage into adulthood is then delayed. Taking the beleaguered mom as their focus, Goldberg, a marriage and family therapist, and Lichtman, a psychologist, bring thirty years of clinical experience to the pressing challenges of families in flux.

“Terrific and accessible approach. These dramatic character studies, based on current cases, are easily digested by a TV-savvy audience. They present disturbing but compelling human stories to learn from or to measure against, and through it all, refreshing observations about today’s mother/child relationships.”

“As the mother of millennial children, torn between wanting them to live at home again and wanting to help them prosper in the new world order, I found the case studies in Whose Couch Is It Anyway? refreshingly authentic. Lichtman and Goldberg offer insight into the universal condition of parenthood and provide practical solutions for how to move forward with purpose.”
