Dr. John Duffy

In his work as a clinical psychologist Dr. John Duffy saw a profound sense of hopelessness and disconnection in our sons and daughters. To assist, he developed eight practical parenting steps for dealing with the common issues that teens face.

His most recent book, “Rescuing our Sons,” gives new perspectives and insights on your child’s teenage brain. Duffy explains adolescent behavior, and he offers methods for raising youth motivated to overcome depression and anxiety and avoid risky behaviors. Bring your family together by becoming the effective, confident parent your teen needs, and equip them with life skills to improve their present and future.
