As a society, we have been inundated with “how to books,” typically focused on symptoms that one or more family members are experiencing such as anxiety, depression, school problems, out of control behaviors, addictions, etc. But parents buying books about specific symptoms or challenges are often frustrated when trying new techniques without success. That's because these books fail to include what else may be going on in the family that can create or maintain problem behaviors. In contrast, this guidebook provides the reader with a checklist of the most important, underlying “family factors” that can add to efforts at change.The book was conceptualized and written to be more than just a parenting book. It can be used as a reference—like an encyclopedia of family relationships that can be turned to at pivotal moments in the family life cycle. The tips and tools can help family members regardless of whether the kids are still growing up or have left the nest. Equally appropriate for families with toddlers, teens or grandparents, evaluation and change in families is aided by the input of as many participants and generations as possible. It can be used as a pre-marital tool, as preparation for the birth of a child, at a time when a child is symptomatic and the family wants to know why, at the blending of two new families, or at a break-up or a geographical move.
