What predicts family breakdown? Why do our families drive us mad? What is it that enables some families to thrive despite enormous adversity, when others fragment?
In Every Family Has A Story, best-selling psychotherapist Julia Samuel turns from her acclaimed work with individuals to draw on her sessions with a wide variety of families.
Through eight beautifully bold and insightful case studies, she analyses a range of common issues, from separation and step-relationships to leaving home and loss showing how much is passed from one generation to the next - and how this inheritance can be faced together.
Her book is a moving and reassuring meditation that, amidst trauma and hardship, tells unforgettable stories of forgiveness, learning and love.
Julia Samuel MBE, is a leading British psychotherapist and the author of the Sunday Times bestsellers This Too Shall Pass and Grief Works.
