Marriage is a major step in a relationship, and each member of that
newly joined pair brings with them their own existing family and
the corresponding complexity and richness of in-law relationships.
These are multi-generational, multi-layered, and, like a
kaleidoscope, a shifting amalgam of emotional colors. Exceptionally
important, in-law relationships can be joyous and comforting. They
can also be complicated, contentious, and disappointing. These ties
serve as a model for how to stay connected across generations for
the well-being of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, and as
a bellwether for what to avoid. Drawing on interviews and survey
data with more than 1,500 mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law,
daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law, the book describes how these
complicated and highly significant relationships develop over time.
Geoffrey L. Greif and Michael E. Woolley focus on the relationships
between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law as well as
fathers-in-law with sons-in-law. They describe the struggles as
well as the triumphs that people encounter with these relationships
from the perspectives of both generations and suggest ways to
improve the relationships. To improve in-law relationships, Greif
and Woolley present action-oriented family therapy theories based
on the insight, communication, boundary building, and narratives
that family members wish to create. They also explore how these
relationships change with the normal transitions of marrying into
the family, having children/grandchildren, and aging. In-law
Relationships describes highly successful and nurturing connections
as well as those that are troubled and distant. The resulting book
offers a variety of clinical lenses to help readers of all
backgrounds focus on and, if needed, repair in-law relationships.
