Recenzje

In-law relationships are an under-researched area, yet these relationships are hugely important and can make or break a marriage. Based on a large sample of in-laws, the authors unpack the different aspects of the relationships from the views of different participants. They explore the big question, such as: How can one enter a new family while maintaining a sense of self-identity and a loyalty to one's own family of origin? The book is full of powerful insights, and I strongly recommend it to family scholars, therapists, and even individuals who may be struggling to make sense of a new family.
