Families

We believe that marriage is a bond between two individuals. But the in-laws acquired with marriage affect our quality of life-our marriage, family, personal comfort and long-term well-being-for better or worse. In What Do You Want from Me? Terri Apter takes a fresh look at the age-old problem of managing conflict with in-laws, offering practical help for dealing with problems that are both immediate and strategic. Drawing on nearly two decades of psychological research, she pinpoints the sources of tension between in-laws and explores the ways in which we can build healthy relationships with the in-laws in our lives.
