Remarried Family RelationshipsThis volume offers a thorough examination of why some remarriages and stepfamilies function well, while others do not. After a brief historical and clinical overview, the authors discuss factors and issues that either contribute to, or hinder, good relationships. Topics explored include: the various relationship combinations found in stepfamilies; child abuse in stepfamilies; extended family relations; and clinical perspectives that provide insight into both well-functioning and dysfunctional stepfamilies. |
