Myths and Lies About Dads: How They Hurt Us All is a groundbreaking
book that destroys more than 100 of the most damaging beliefs about
fathers. Using the most recent research, this pioneering work
exposes these baseless beliefs and the toll they take on children's
relationships with their fathers, parents' relationships with one
another, and the physical and mental health of fathers and mothers.
Tackling a wide range of topics from custody laws, to children's
toys, to the sexist behavior of counselors, pediatricians, and
lawyers, Dr Linda Nielsen describes in vivid detail how these myths
are linked to many of our most pressing issues: Creating more
gender equity in childcare and housework Reducing child abuse,
post-partum depression, and fathers' suicide rates Expanding
mothers' and fathers' options at home and at work Reducing
children's academic, behavioral, and emotional problems Lessening
the pressures of parenting for both parents Changing sexist
policies and practices that hurt parents and children Improving the
economic situations for parents and their children The book is not
only a wake-up call for parents but also for students and
professionals in medicine and family law, social work, child
development, education, and in the publishing, advertising, media,
and entertainment industries. Above all, the book empowers parents
to free themselves from the myths and lies about fathers that bind
them.

At last! A no-nonsense, entertaining, and insightful book for dads
and daughters who want more from their relationship--or who want to
understand and rebuild it on an adult level. Dr. Linda Nielsen
addresses the questions that daughters and dads regularly ask
her--and a lot more. Based on two decades of work with hundreds of
dads and daughters, BETWEEN FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS summarizes
cutting-edge research in clear language and offers compelling
stories about real people--including well-known celebrities. With
candor and humor, BETWEEN FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS exposes the
half-truths, downright lies, and family dynamics that prevent so
many dads and daughters from having a more relaxed, more
meaningful, more communicative relationship, regardless of age.
Explaining why most daughter-dad relationships haven't reached
their full potential or have unraveled, Nielsen provides hope as
she shows fathers and daughters how to make changes now!
Improving Father-Daughter Relationships: A Guide for Women and
Their Dads is essential reading for daughters and their fathers, as
well as for their families and for therapists. This friendly,
no-nonsense book by father-daughter relationships expert, Dr. Linda
Nielsen, offers women and their dads a step-by-step guide to
improve their relationships and to understand the impact this will
have on their well-being. Nielsen encourages us to get to the root
of problems, instead of dealing with fallout, and helps us resolve
the conflicts that commonly strain relationships from late
adolescence throughout a daughter's adult years. Showing how we can
strengthen bonds by settling issues that divide us, her book
explores a range of difficult issues from conflicts over money, to
the daughter's lifestyle or sexual orientation, to her parents'
divorce and dad's remarriage. With quizzes and real-life examples
to encourage us to examine beliefs that are limiting or
complicating the connection between fathers and daughters, this
guide helps us feel less isolated and enables us to create more
joyful, honest, enriching relationships.
