For the first time in psychology, FT sees and explains life from a child’s point of view. By elucidating a whole new world that reflects the way children think, an entirely new set of concepts is introduced and used to analyze family functioning.
Is FT rooted in any other theory of human development such as Birth Order Theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, Freudian or Psychoanalytic Theory, Spiritualism, or any other known psychiatric method?
No. Favoritism Theory is exclusively rooted in the observations and independent researches of the author herself, and should be studiedseparately from all other theories of human psychological development.
What is the supporting research behind Favoritism Theory?
FT is built on many years of observing child behavior in families. It is supported by numerous case studies of children with a wide variety of presenting problems such as anxiety disorders, OCD, self-mutilation, suicidal tendencies, fire-setting, depression, lack of achievement/motivation, rebelliousness, drug-taking, etc. The theory is also backed by the real-life biographies of famous individuals who were described in the author’s book as being more Favored or less Favored than a proximate sibling.
Who can use Favoritism Theory?
FT can be used by everyone. As a comprehensive theory of human psychological development, it is intended for both professionals and lay people to understand their own personalities and behavior, as well as explaining the personalities and behavior of others. It is a highly effective tool for diagnosis and treatment.
What is the connection between FT and Parenting With Design?
FT provides the background theory, or concepts that must be studied in order to understand and explain overall human psychological development. PWD then translates this into the method or the application of the concepts that are described in the theory.
