STRONGWILLED

DL and Krispin cover the basics of growing under religious authoritarian parenting — and what we believe therapists should know when they’re helping people heal from this kind of upbringing.

We talk about six aspects of religious authoritarian parenting, including the goals of this type of parenting, how religion was used, and the developmental delays it creates.

We mention Lindsay Gibson’s book, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents and Marlene Winell’s book Leaving the Fold. We also mention Divergent models of childrearing in popular manuals: Conservative Protestants vs. the mainstream experts.” By Bartkowski, J. P., & Ellison, C. G. (1995). Sociology of Religion.
