The Dance of Intimacy by Harriet Lerner
Book excerpts from Harriet Lerner’s website:
"All beginnings are lovely:' a French proverb reminds us, but intimacy is not about that initial "Velcro stage" of relationships. It is only when we stay in relationships over time—whether by necessity or choice—that our capacity for intimacy is truly put to the test.
In this book, Dr. Lerner takes a careful look at those relationships where intimacy is most challenged by too much distance, too much intensity, or simply too much pain...
The Dance of Intimacy teaches us about "the differences that make a difference"—the changes we can make in one or two significant relationships that will change everything—including our capacity for intimacy and selfhood over the long haul.

In this reassuring and straightforward book, she considers a wide range of stepfamily scenarios, and gives practical suggestions as to what to do in each case to overcome any difficulties.
"Stepfamily Life" helps the reader to understand the dynamics of life in a stepfamily - what lies beneath the surface - and how to rationally approach each family issue concerning adults and children. Margaret Newman highlights the fact that while skills such as communication are very important, so too is self-awareness and a basic knowledge of family life.
Using case studies and the experience of working with a broad range of stepfamily situations, she examines problem areas and explains what is happening and what to do about it. She shows how, despite the obstacles, a happy stepfamily life can be achieved.
