One of the nation's top experts on how to improve complex family dynamics, Leonard Felder, Ph.D., has been counseling couples for more than 20 years. In his experience, the inklings of worry and moments of boredom that many individuals feel in their good relationships have to be addressed sooner rather than later to head off the loss of what could be a great relationship. Dr. Felder has found that by following the eight specific and realistic steps he outlines to address the problem areas that most often drive mates apart, couples can overcome the odds and create a healthy, immensely satisfying intimacy.A wealth of anecdotes from the author's practice provide fresh perspectives on such key issues as learning when to be flexible (and when you've gone too far!), becoming a caring lover, using the critical moments of "re-entry" after work or to increase intimacy, and coming through for your mate in a crisis. Upbeat and non-blaming, this is a book you can urge your mate to read without fear of provoking a fight or hurt feelings. Though it offers advice to both partners in traditional or same-sex couples, one of Dr. Felder's special gifts as a therapist is his ability to reach men and get them to take a more proactive role in strengthening their relationships.

Ce livre est le fruit d'une longue réflexion issue du travail quotidien avec des familles qui se séparent et se recomposent. Alors que la thérapie familiale s'enseigne à partir des familles nucléaires, les familles recomposées apparaissent comme des cas particuliers où l'incertitude de leur structure nous renvoie à la complexité de leurs relations. Les thérapeutes familiaux tout comme les travailleurs sociaux sont peu préparés à gérer ces relations riches de tensions, de conflits, de ressources au cœur desquelles vivent les membres d'une famille recomposée. Ce livre tente d'en décrire les dynamiques relationnelles. Pour approcher le climat émotionnel de telles familles, il est nécessaire d'analyser ce qu'ont été la séparation avec son cortège de conflits, d'émotions, de changements, la constitution du nouveau couple et l'élaboration des nouvelles fonctions parentales. Sont abordées ici les différentes positions dans la famille : la fonction maternelle occupée par la mère et l'amie du père, la fonction paternelle occupée par le père et l'ami de la mère, et les différentes fonctions dans la fratrie. Ainsi, l'auteur estime que les particularités des familles recomposées impliquent une prise en charge spécifique qu'elle décrit en s'appuyant sur des illustrations cliniques. Elle expose également des concepts théoriques qui peuvent servir de repères dans ce dédale relationnel.
