RENOWNED LOCAL PSYCHOLOGIST

 DEVELOPS NEW FIELD OF PSYCHOLOGY

--“Psychology of Disrespect” Making National Waves

 

WHITTIER, CA -- Dr. Arnold Nerenberg, a nationally-renowned clinical psychologist,  has developed a new field of psychology called “the Psychology of Disrespect.”  Based on years of research and case studies, this new specialty targets disrespect as the fundamental cause of much aberrant and anti-social behavior and utilizes cutting-edge therapies.

            “If you trace the origins of behavioral problems in people, you find most of it stems from a breakdown in respect,” says Nerenberg.  “Whether it’s children undermining a parent’s authority, or an adult acting abusively to a spouse, the behavior indicates the person suffers from “respect retardation.”                                            

            By focusing on the core cause of problems rather than reacting to behavioral incidents, Nerenberg has effectively treated a wide variety of patients including out-of-control teens, convicted drug offenders and troubled couples.  As a new psychological specialty, the respect-based approach differs substantially from traditional counseling and includes therapies such as “death visualization,” a process in which a patient visualizes a loved one in an actual coffin.

            “Times have changed, and psychology needs to change also,” adds Nerenberg.  “This new field brings psychology up-to-date, and offers hope for many troubled people.”

            Nerenberg has appeared on national television shows including Montel, Sally, Inside Edition, Extra, and many local and national radio programs.  Considered a leading authority on parenting, anger management and road rage, he is the author of numerous books and hosts the website, www.drnerenberg.com.
