Stephanie Coontz, author of The Way We Never Were, now turns her attention to the mythology that surrounds todays familythe demonizing of untraditional family forms and marriage and parenting issues. Mothers are going to remain in the workforce, family diversity is here to stay, and the nuclear family can no longer handle all the responsibilities of elder care and childrearing. Coontz gives a balanced account of how these changes affect families, both positively and negatively, but she rejects the notion that the new diversity is a sentence of doom. }Stephanie Coontz, the author of The Way We Never Were, now turns her attention to the mythology that surrounds todays familythe demonizing of untraditional family forms and marriage and parenting issues. She argues that while its not crazy to miss the more hopeful economic trends of the 1950s and 1960s, few would want to go back to the gender roles and race relations of those years. Mothers are going to remain in the workforce, family diversity is here to stay, and the nuclear family can no longer handle all the responsibilities of elder care and childrearing.Coontz gives a balanced account of how these changes affect families, both positively and negatively, but she rejects the notion that the new diversity is a sentence of doom. Every family has distinctive resources and special vulnerabilities, and there are ways to help each one build on its strengths and minimize its weaknesses.The book provides a meticulously researched, balanced account showing why a historically informed perspective on family life can be as much help to people in sorting through family issues as going into therapyand much more help than listening to todays political debates. }.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In all respects, you appear to be well-adjusted, reasonably successful adult, but in the presence of your parents, you feel vulnerable, dependent, guilty, insecure--childlike. They manipulate you, smother you, demand your attention or elicit your resentment. In clear, nonclinical terms, renowned psychotherapist Dr. Howard Halpern shows you how to break these familiar family routines so that you can build healthy, rewarding parent-child relationships. He teaches you, for example, how to handle martyred mothers, despotic fathers, and moralistic, unloving, or seductive parents. He also addresses the sensitive topics of how to deal with aging, divorced, or dying parents. Resolving conflicts with your parents will enable you, finally, to cut loose--to start being yourself rather than your parent's child. Without guilt, revenge, or fear as your motives, you will be able to make the choices in love, work, and values that do justice to who you are. With more than thirty-five years of experience in psychotherapy, Dr. Halpern enables the adult child to understand his or her parent and foster a positive, healthy adult relationship. …

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Many times in life we find ourselves in the midst of a troubled journey. Often the trouble is intensely personal, even spiritual, in nature. At such points, we need a guide, someone rooted in the solid reality of God's word. As the meditations show, John G. Lynch is such a guide. Dr. Michael J. Kurtz President, Lutheran Historical Society Gettysburg, Pennsylvania The mediations in this book center in Jesus' troubled journey to Jerusalem as told in Luke's gospel. John Lynch writes that in God's undying faithfulness to us, God goes out to the highways and byways where we live. God goes inside of our hearts, beyond the fences we put up when we hold our peace. There, at the core of our hearts, God says, Come to my banquet. God has a cross for us, but a resurrection too. God invites us to Come and be nourished at God's banquet, says Lynch. The twelve sermons in this book are based on Gospel texts primarily from Luke. Sermons follow the Revised Common Episcopal, Lutheran and Roman Catholic lectionaries. John Lynch is a Lutheran theologian and pastor. After achieving his doctorate in Paris, France, he served more than twenty years as a Roman Catholic priest. In 1982, after a long period of thought and prayer, he became a Lutheran pastor. He serves Magothy-Chelsea Community Lutheran Church, Pasadena, Maryland; Holy Trinity Lutheran, Laurel, Maryland; and the Maryland Institute of Pastoral Counseling, Annapolis.…
