Book description
What makes a family happy? Why do some marriages 'succeed' and others
end in divorce? How can we free ourselves from the legacy of past
mistakes and bring about positive change? Love, sex and marriage and
parenthood, depression and sadness, independence and experience are just
a few of the many issues explored in conversation by family therapist
Robin Skynner and his former patient and comedian, John Cleese. Guiding
us through the daily issues that confront us all, FAMILIES AND HOW TO
SURVIVE THEM offers vital advice in helping each of us to maintain a
happy, healthy family life. Looking candidly at everything from our
relationships with our parents to why and how we choose our partners, no
emotional stone is left unturned: jealousy, rage, fear, envy, love,
obsession, hope and despair - all are featured-with practical advice on
how to turn round a negative situation and bring about change for the
better.
