Being a parent does not automatically lead to happiness – in fact, a lot of research suggests the opposite is true. Many parents find they are unprepared for the hard parts – temper tantrums, demands, expenses, and - sometimes - spousal conflicts.

Research tells us 95% of victims know their perpetrators. Join Dr. Dan Gottlieb as he explores the topic of child sexual abuse. What makes an abuser tick? What do victims go through? And what are professionals doing to treat and understand individuals from both populations?

Zip across the radio dial in almost any city and you're likely to find self-help programs that claim to solve listeners' problems. But few offer the straightforward, authoritative advice on family health issues available on Voices in the Family, a weekly public radio program hosted by Dan Gottlieb, Ph.D.
Each week Gottlieb and guest experts, joined by thoughtful callers, discuss issues that affect individuals and society. The show covers the emotional and psychological implications of everything from children and religion to sexual abuse and the law, sibling relationships, hate groups and the impact of natural disasters. Voices admits listeners to unseen worlds, presenting an author's firsthand description of schizophrenia, for instance.
Voices offers a mix of solid information — beginning with Gottlieb's thorough interview of his guest, followed by intelligent, sympathetic responses to audience inquiries. He guides callers through a series of questions that clarify both their own experience and its broad implications. Sprinkled throughout are bits of humor that come with listeners acknowledging our common foibles.
