Produktbeschreibung

This engaging, no-nonsense book by father-daughter relationships expert, Dr. Linda Nielsen, offers a step-by-step guide for fathers and daughters to build a more comfortable and meaningful relationship and resolve issues still hanging over them from the past. With amusing and poignant true stories and research-based advice, Nielsen shows us how to get to the root of problems that strain relationships from late adolescence throughout a daughter's adult life. The book explores problems arising from conflicts over money, the daughter's lifestyle and choices in her romantic relationships, her parents' divorce, and tense situations during her college years, and her father's aging and death. With entertaining, eye-opening quizzes, she introduces research that makes readers re-examine their own beliefs and biases that limit or complicate their father-daughter relationship. Improving Father-Daughter Relationships: A Guide for Women and Their Dads is essential reading and a powerful resource for adult daughters and their fathers, as well as for their families and therapists.

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

"Professor Linda Nielsen's newest book is an outstanding work that appeals to a wide audience. Nielsen is the leading authority on father-daughter relationships whose pioneering work commands great respect among her colleagues. She excels in popularizing the implications of social science in an engaging format."
