“Children are imprinted by the personality of the dominant parent at an early age, and they will show the same behavior subconsciously in their later lives toward their own children and spouse. People unknowingly set themselves up to reproduce the trauma of their earlier lives and thus imprint their own children and pass their problem on from generation to generation.

By using the meditation technique as taught by Roy Masters, the individual can overcome his problem by becoming objective and by understanding it, and therefore is able to overcome his compulsive tendency to respond to the world around him, to his spouse, and to his own children in the manner of the past generation.”

—Irene A. Royko, M.D.

“As a pediatrician I believe that as a parent you are potentially more dangerous to your own child than are any germs. If your child is having physical or emotional problems, it is a signal to you that you are doing something wrong. Most parents would rather blame vitamins, diet, the weather or the stars for their children’s problems. Some parents intuitively feel responsible for their children’s problems but can‘t see clearly where their failing lies. If you want to learn how to truly love your children (that is, protect them from harm, both from yourself as well as from others) then I prescribe the ‘medicine’ in Roy Masters’ book, How To Survive Your Parents.”

—Richard Mittleman, M.D.
