Between Fathers and Daughters: Enriching and Rebuilding Your Adult Relationship
Getting Beyond the Surface
At last! A no-nonsense, insightful, and entertaining book for dads and daughters who want more from their relationship. With candor and humor, Dr. Linda Nielsen exposes the half-truths, outright lies, and family dynamics that prevent dads and daughters of all ages from having a more relaxed, more meaningful, more communicative relationship.
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 celebrities. Eye-opening facts, tough questions, personal assignments, father-daughter activities, and self-assessment quizzes guide you on a personal journey. Explaining why most daughter-dad relationships haven’t reached their full potential or have unraveled, Nielsen provides hope by showing fathers and daughters how to make changes now!
