Improving Father-Daughter Relationships

A Guide for Women and their Dads

Beschreibung

Improving Father-Daughter Relationships: A Guide for Women and Their Dads is essential reading for daughters and their fathers, as well as for their families and for therapists. This friendly, no-nonsense book by father-daughter relationships expert, Dr. Linda Nielsen, offers women and their dads a step-by-step guide to improve their relationships and to understand the impact this will have on their well-being.¿ Nielsen encourages us to get to the root of problems, instead of dealing with fallout, and helps us resolve the conflicts that commonly strain relationships from late adolescence throughout a daughter's adult years. Showing how we can strengthen bonds by settling issues that divide us, her book explores a range of difficult issues from conflicts over money, to the daughter's lifestyle or sexual orientation, to her parents' divorce and dad's remarriage. With quizzes and real-life examples to encourage us to examine beliefs that are limiting or complicating the connection between fathers and daughters, this guide helps us feel less isolated and enables us to create more joyful, honest, enriching relationships.

Rezensionen

"I predict Nielsen's book will become the standard four-step method for resolving father-daughter problems. Nielsen covers a wide range of issues and her practical, no-nonsense method is applied to dozens of specific problems that no other book addresses."
Dr. Warren Farrell, author of The Myth of Male Power and The Boy Crisis.

"Dr. Nielsen takes her readers, both fathers and daughters, step by step through a process to repair their relationship. The book is at once thorough and accessible. It is both detailed and very readable. It is extremely practical and deeply hopeful. Along the way, each chapter puts a substantial amount of critical research into the hands of fathers and daughters who are desperate for

guidance."
Patricia L. Papernow, Ed.D., American Psychological Association Psychologist of the Year, Division
of Couples & Family Counseling. Author of Surviving & Thriving in Stepfamily Relationships
