Parenting Adult Children
“In this dynamic new work, Dr. Fred Schloemer addresses a much-needed aspect of family relations that has been largely overlooked until now. The parenting case histories are compelling and instructive. I consider it a ‘must read’ for parents of adult children, as well as practitioners and academics.” - Dr. Mary Bemker, Director, Nursing Department, Capella University
“Every parent of an adult child will find himself or herself in this book. Dr. Schloemer tackles difficult dilemmas with compassionate directness, offering hope and brass-tacks guidance.” - Alison Johnson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and President/CEO, Integrating Your Heart Services
From A Land In Between
"Fred Schloemer’s stories are both fun and engaging. His long career as a therapist has given him deep, rich insights that now serve him spectacularly as a blossoming writer. These stories will stick with you long after you’ve set the book down: guaranteed!” - David Williams (Founder, Williams-Nichols Institute, Inc.)
"The stories and poems that make up From A Land In Between address the mysteries of the human heart in ways that transcend the quotidian while embracing the marvelous particulars of a precise moment. When I teach students how to improve their comprehension or writing skills, I strongly emphasize visualization. A good story provides the reader with vivid pictures, and these stories and poems are stunningly visual, full of cinematic imagery. Yet the tales themselves come from such an authentic place that the technique does not draw attention to itself." - Jim Reeves The Word
Just One More Bird
"Just One More Bird is a delightful and deceptively simple children's book by Louisville psychotherapist Fred Schloemer. For many of its young readers, however, the humorous plot and cheerful illustrations by Carol Cornette carry a much more serious message. The book's intended audience are the children of dysfunctional families who often find themselves assuming a quasi-parental role, attempting to fix the unfixable problems which surround them. Just One More Bird is one of the few books available which speak sensitively to such children, dealing directly with such crucial concepts as denial, enabling, and boundary-setting, or the need to say no." - Spalding University News Summer 1991
