WERE YOU THE FAVORITE CHILD?

In her critically acclaimed book, The Favorite Child, psychologist ELLEN WEBER LIBBY exposes the lasting advantages and disadvantages to a child’s status in the family. Favorite children like FDR, Bill Clinton, and Libby’s brother-in-law Scooter Libby, may experience incredible professional success from the increased confidence and self-esteem, but suffer difficulty in creating balanced and cooperative personal relationships that don’t acknowledge their ‘entitled’ status.

DO ALL PARENTS HAVE FAVORITES?

If so, what can be done to ensure every child in the family feels supported and loved? And what does it mean in our culture that so many politicians and public figures were early-on singled out for special parental attention and affirmation?

Join Paulie Abeles, host of “Sins of Omission,” on Monday night, February 01, 2010 at 9 p.m. (ET) as she discusses

THE FAVORITE CHILD

with author ELLEN WEBER LIBBY

Bio:

For the past three decades, Dr. Ellen Weber Libby has devoted the lion’s share of her work as a clinical psychologist to helping successful, often prominent clients in Washington, DC, sort out and deal with the impact of childhood favoritism—a trait, which Dr. Libby says, is a prominent character assessment in order to help many of them get where they are today. “Whether parents realize it or not, every family has favorites . . . even when you are part of a big family unit or an only child.” Dr. Libby attests. “All family members live with the profound effects, good and bad, of favoritism.”

In her groundbreaking book The Favorite Child (Prometheus Books; January 2010), Dr. Libby reveals the great advantages and terrible toll of what she calls “the favorite child complex.” Based on both professional and personal experiences, she can let your audience in on how growing up singled out for being special—in the eyes of at least one parent—shapes a person’s traits and behaviors throughout adulthood.
