Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-22 00:00:00 Sudhir Kumar Editorial Reviews From Library Journal Most people do not stop to think that when they've taken their wedding vows, they're also taking on a troop of people along with their spouse. Horsley (In-Laws: A Guide to Extended Family Therapy, Wiley, 1995), a family therapist with over 15 years' experience, has written a much-needed guide to help you get along with that troop. She uses lots of anecdotes from her practice to point out common in-law problems. Her basic technique is to emphasize how readers can change their outlook and attitude about the situation rather than attempting to change the in-law. She suggests that by "building good in-law relationships...you can add depth and breadth to your life that you may not otherwise have." The guide also includes several exercises to help improve in-law relationships and quizzes to help readers assess their own in-law situation. Product Description Written by an experienced family therapist, this book shows readers how to build a healthy in-law relationship from the beginning. Stepping readers through the life-cycle changes in the in-law relationship, the manual examines the common sources of conflict, such as power and loyalty issues, disputes over money, generation gaps, and communication difficulties.
