Addresses the tenacious bonds between in-laws, exploring the ways in which they significantly impact the health and course of a marriage, and shares practical recommendations for addressing in-law disputes and expectations.

An award-winning author addresses the tenacious bonds between in-laws, exploring the ways in which they significantly impact the health and course of a marriage, in a guide that shares practical recommendations for addressing in-law disputes and expectations.

When we marry, we believe the bond is between only two individuals. Few of us realize the power that inlaws will exert over our lives. But the in-laws we acquire when we marry affect our quality of life—our marriage, family, personal comfort, and long-term well-being—for better or worse. What Do You Want From Me? takes a fresh look at the age-old problem of managing conflict with in-laws, offering practical help for dealing with problems that are both immediate (“How do I deal with my in-laws now?”) and strategic (“How can I change the nature of my in-laws’ demands?”). Terri Apter, a psychologist whose books on family dynamics have received international acclaim, draws on nearly two decades of psychological research to pinpoint the sources of tension between in-laws and explore the ways in which we can build healthy relationships with the in-laws in our lives.

Breaking new ground in family psychology, an exploration of the intricacy, friction, and love in the bonds between in-laws.
