Publisher Description
Harville Hendrix has illuminated the paths to healthy, loving relationships in his New York Times bestsellers Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love You Find. Now he and his coauthor and wife, Helen Hunt, bring us to a new understanding of the most profound love of all—by helping parents nurture their own development as they encourage emotional wholeness in their children.
In Giving The Love That Heals, Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt help us explore:
- Maximizer and minimizer parents—the defensive styles that internally shape what we say and how we interact with our children.
- Safety, support, and structure—how to give children what they really need from us.
- Modeling adulthood—recovering our innate wholeness to provide a model of adulthood for our children that will preserve their innate wholeness.
In this profound, groundbreaking audiobook, Harville Hendrix and Helen Hunt lead us through an extraordinary process of growth as we help our children to become healthy, responsible, and caring people.

"This is one of the most important parenting books that anyone can read. It can be a difficult read in that you will come across things from your past that might be painful - or see the baggage your child may be carrying with them - This is one of my personal top 5 books for parents."

— Library Journal -

“Giving The Love That Heals exposes the jugular vein feeding disrupted families—our tendency to replay our childhood relations with our parents with both our children and spouse.”
— Don Browning, University of Chicago -
“Harville Hendrix and his wife, Helen Hunt, have cowritten a remarkable new book on parenting…In this book the authors suggest that early experiences with parents may lead to unresolved issues that later surface in one's own parenting…The book is filled with arresting ideas and practical guidelines. It will be a wonderful value to many readers, and I recommend it to all parents.”
— Jerry M. Lewis, MD senior research psychiatrist, Timberlawn Research Foundation
