Jesper Juul

Jesper Juul was a Danish family therapist and author of several books on parenting to a general audience. In his book Your Competent Child he argues that today's families are at an exciting crossroads because the destructive values - obedience, physical and emotional violence, and conformity - that governed traditional hierarchical families are being transformed. The book has been translated into 13 languages and has popularized current ideas of non-authoritarian parenting.
