Part of Dr. Peter Alsop's Professional "Laughter" Series, Songs about Family Roles can be a great use for helping educators, school counselors and parents address difficult topics about family dynamics. 

These songs have been helpful to many people over the years. They’re designed to generate discussion. These songs are like little movies or paintings that bring up real life issues ... and in doing so, they act as metaphors for us to make some clear connections about our own real life struggles.

Recorded live at the Power of Laughter and Play Conference ~1991 in Anaheim, Californa, this album includes Peter Alsop's clever songs with his commentary addressing family dynamics and common issues in today's families.

Dr. Alsop states, "My contention is that we can only help people around us achieve a level of clarity that we have about ourselves. With that in mind, one of the things I talk to human service professionals about, is making a commitment to our own self growth. In order to grow, we need to take some risks. And that if we're pretty comfortable, we're probably not taking much of a risk."
