The Gentle Patriarch

Medical Disclaimer

Please read this before you buy. It is the part of the small print that actually matters.

What the author is not

The author and seller is not a doctor, not a health professional, not a psychologist and not a psychiatrist. He holds no clinical qualification and none is claimed anywhere in these books or on this website.

What is in the books is based on his own experience and on research he carried out and checked himself, which is the same footing as most nonfiction guides sold in this market. Where published behavioral psychology is cited, it is named, and the disputes about it are stated in the same paragraph rather than left out.

What these books are not

They do not constitute medical, psychological, psychiatric or therapeutic advice, they are not a diagnosis of anything, and they do not replace the opinion of a qualified professional. Nothing in them should be used in place of treatment, therapy, counseling or legal advice.

When to put the book down

These four situations appear word for word at the front of all six books, because they matter more than anything else in them. If any of them describes your household, this material does not apply until it has been dealt with by someone qualified.

  • There is abuse in your household. Physical, sexual, financial, or coercive control, in either direction. That is a safety problem rather than a leadership one, and it needs specialist services and, where it applies, the authorities.
  • There is an active affair.
  • There is untreated addiction or an untreated mental health condition in either of you. Treatment comes first.
  • She has told you clearly that she wants the relationship to end.

If you are in immediate danger, or you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, contact your local emergency number or a crisis service in your country now, not later.

Physical causes

A prolonged change in mood, energy or desire often has physical causes that no relationship method touches. The books say this in the text as well as here. If something has changed and stayed changed, it deserves a doctor's appointment before it deserves a chapter.

No guarantee

Nothing here promises that a relationship will improve, that another person will change, or that any timeline shown will be yours. Any scene or example in the material is fiction, written to illustrate the method, and is declared as such where it appears. There are no testimonials on this website and none have ever been used.

Your responsibility

If you decide to apply anything from these books, you are taking full responsibility for your own choices and your own conduct, as an adult, in your own household.

The Gentle Patriarch is not medical, psychological, psychiatric, or therapeutic advice. The author and seller is not a doctor, health professional, psychologist, or psychiatrist. All content is based on the author's personal experience and on information gathered through his own research and verification. It does not replace qualified professional, therapeutic, medical, psychological, psychiatric, or legal support. Any reader facing real problems of mental health, relationship breakdown or personal safety — including abuse, domestic violence or psychological crisis — must consult a qualified specialist and, where applicable, the appropriate authorities, and must not treat this product as a substitute for that support. Results are not guaranteed and depend on individual circumstances, consistent application, and the response of the other person.

Warren Astley is a pen name. The seller of record is MICMAC FROM LAS VEGAS LLC, 1846 E Innovation Park Dr, Ste 100, Oro Valley, AZ 85755, United States.
