Author: Haim G. Ginert (Haim G. Ginott)

A clinical psychologist and child psychotherapist, he graduated from Columbia University and served as an Assistant Professor of Psychology at New York University Graduate School, a Clinical Professor at Adalphi University, and a Professor at New York University. He served on the advisory board of the Israeli Ministry of Education and, with a keen interest in psychotherapy and psychology, has actively engaged in research with parents, teachers, and children.

Born in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1922, he taught in Israel before immigrating to the United States. He was a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, a member of the Society for Group Psychotherapy, the Academy of Psychotherapy, and an advisor to UNESCO. His weekly column, "Between Us," was widely recognized, published both in the United States and internationally. He died of cancer in 1973 at the age of 51.

His masterpiece, "Between Parents and Children," is the first book in the "Between Us" series, a beloved parenting guide for decades and translated into 30 languages ​​worldwide. Based on the principle of "understanding a child's emotions," it offers various methods for parents to understand their children. It guides parents on how to become effective parents, including how to ensure children follow rules without feeling insulted, how to criticize without damaging their character, and how to express anger without hurting their feelings.

This book, along with other international bestsellers like "Between Parents and Teenagers," "Between Teachers and Students," and "Group Psychotherapy for Children," are the culmination of his research and experimentation. He emphasized the importance of recognizing and respecting children's individual characteristics and avoiding hurtful ones. He believed that children's behavior is dangerous, while their "emotions" cannot be censored, and that a parent's crucial role is to understand and help them properly resolve their emotions. He and his wife, Alice Ginnert, studied child-rearing methods.
