A clinical guide to understand and treat adults who grew up as the scapegoat child to a narcissistic parent.
Therapy with Scapegoat Survivors of Narcissistic Parents explains how and why children are assigned the scapegoat role in narcissistic families. Adult scapegoat survivors are left with painful beliefs that they are defective and deserve less than others. These clients come to therapy with the hope of freeing themselves from these beliefs. This book shows how Control-Mastery Theory can help them do this.

Jay Reid shows clinicians how to incorporate Control-Mastery Theory in their work with scapegoat survivors. You will learn to structure treatment and build therapeutic relationships that support these clients’ efforts to disprove the painful beliefs that underly their suffering today.
