About this Item

Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

About this title

Synopsis

Juul (family therapist, director of the Kempler Institute of Scandinavia, and Family Counseling International in Croatia) believes that the concept of "family" is undergoing an exciting transformation. The traditional hierarchical family structure based on destructive values obedience, physical and emotional violence, conformity is being replaced by a new structure, which advocates dignity and reciprocity between parent and child, and assumes the belief that children are born competent to express their feelings and eager to cooperate. Juul uses examples from families around the world to illustrate his theories about how parents and children can more effectively develop together as families. Accessible to a broad audience. Translated from Danish. No subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
