Download or read book In law Relationships written by Geoffrey L. Greif and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage is a major step in a relationship, and each member of that newly joined pair brings with them their own existing family and the corresponding complexity and richness of in-law relationships. These are multi-generational, multi-layered, and, like a kaleidoscope, a shifting amalgam of emotional colors. Exceptionally important, in-law relationships can be joyous and comforting. They can also be complicated, contentious, and disappointing. These ties serve as a model for how to stay connected across generations for the well-being of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, and as a bellwether for what to avoid. Drawing on interviews and survey data with more than 1,500 mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law, the book describes how these complicated and highly significant relationships develop over time. Geoffrey L. Greif and Michael E. Woolley focus on the relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law as well as fathers-in-law with sons-in-law. They describe the struggles as well as the triumphs that people encounter with these relationships from the perspectives of both generations and suggest ways to improve the relationships. To improve in-law relationships, Greif and Woolley present action-oriented family therapy theories based on the insight, communication, boundary building, and narratives that family members wish to create. They also explore how these relationships change with the normal transitions of marrying into the family, having children/grandchildren, and aging. In-law Relationships describes highly successful and nurturing connections as well as those that are troubled and distant. The resulting book offers a variety of clinical lenses to help readers of all backgrounds focus on and, if needed, repair in-law relationships.

Download or read book Mothers in Law and Daughters in Law written by Deborah M. Merrill and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-09-30 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all know - have perhaps told a few - stories about mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. It seems the stories are nearly always about relationships filled with conflict and abrasive words or actions. But why is this relationship so difficult? And is it always as bad as popular belief would have us think? Deborah Merrill, a woman's advocate and Sociology professor at one of our nation's top universities, has been studying the relationship for nearly a decade and, in this book, explains where the difficulty is rooted, how friendly pairs have made it past problems that surface between a man's mother and his wife, and how they became friends. Dozens of interviews with pairs of women made in-laws by marriage illustrate Merrill's points, from harmful ideas and actions to helpful approaches. At its core, this book holds that marriage requires the creation of a new and separate family, which requires changes in roles, as well as a redefinition of relationships. Hence, family boundaries need to be made permeable to allow for integration of the daughter-in-law, and to allow the son to create his own separate and autonomous family. Family members need to be aware of, and prepare for, this, says Merrill. That, of course, may be easier said than done. But dozens of women who have become friends with their in-laws — some so much so that they drop the in-law and just call each other mother and daughter — explain how they got past the old, popular notions and social structure, to create goodwill and grow stronger families.
Download or read book The Mother in law Daughter in law Conflict written by Joseph Morris and published by . This book was released on 2003-12 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is called an intellectual diary. It represents a partly lyrical and mostly philosophical rendition of the author's unorthodox thinking, as it developed since his adolescence, gradually maturing over a number of decades. Already at an early age, he evolved his own philosophical opinions, working them into a system of looking at the Universe. He wrote poetry during that same period and combined those lyrical efforts with other areas of his activities. His thoughts are derived in part from a pantheistic and buddhistic view of the world of reality. He combines the perception of his Human nature, with the conviction that he also reflects the Fallen God, Creator of this world, banned from the primordial essence. He awakens to the realization that, along with all other images he has of his World, he carries in his Being the proscribed soul that errs eternally from entity to entity, in analogy to Ahasver and the Flying Dutchman, to Faust and other legendary destinies.
