A walk with Oedipus along the Styx: Psychodynamic parental guidance and nonviolent resistance
This article describes psychodynamic issues concerning authority, violence and aggression in relation to parental guidance. In particular, it focuses on the intervention method of nonviolent resistance (NVR) as a way of reconnecting parents and children. The main elements of NVR (presence, self- control, transparency, resistance and support) help to establish a transitional space in which reflective functioning can increase. Mentalizing, in its turn, assists the performance of NVR.
