Richardson, Ronald W.
Most people's lives are complicated by family relationships. Birth order, our parents' relationship, and the "rules" we were brought up with can affect our own self-esteem and future relationships with spouses, children, and other family members. Now, the Family of Origin theory and techniques recently devel- oped and successfully used by family therapists can help you find different and better ways of dealing with family relation- ships. This easy to read, practical book explains how families function and what you can do to change the way you act in your family and with other important people. Step-by-step exercises show how to apply the principles to your own situation and develop a more positive approach to all aspects of your life.
