“The Ph.D. by the author’s name in this book is an error. Naomi Aldort has no degree in psychology. Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves is a parenting self-help book with ideas developed by the author based on her own studies and experience. The error will be corrected in future printinngs of the book.”

Aldort’s registered-counseling license expired in June of 2010. Some people have found that following Aldort’s parenting advice too closely has been detrimental to their families. Aldort cites NO evidence that her views are supported by contemporary psychology. There is a discussion going on at Amazon about this topic http://www.amazon.com/Ph-Disclaim-Author-Naomi-Aldort/forum/FxNX8DH5IVLF0Z/Tx1OCP9NN6QGOBJ/1/ref=cm_cd_ef_rt_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=1887542329, but Aldort does not address it on her website or in any interviews. New readers should be aware that many of the claims that say that Aldort is an amazing and transformational parenting “guide” come directly from Aldort’s self-published statements and bios and are simply reprinted and eventually assumed as fact.

One of Aldort’s previous publishers has written a public statement on the matter: http://themothermagazine.blogspot.com/2011/07/feet-of-clay.html
