Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

The first collaboration of Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish resulted in Liberated Parents/Liberated Children, a book that describes their experiences in ten years of parent-guidance groups with the late child psychologist, Dr. Haim Ginott. Selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club, their book also won the Christopher Award for "literary achievement affirming the highest values of the human spirit."

Since its publication, both women have traveled across the country presenting their humorous and inspiring lectures and workshops to parents, teachers, and mental health professionals. The work they subsequently did with nursery schools, teenagers and parents was documented for TV in a series shown on CBS.
