Marriage is a major step in a relationship, and each member of that newly joined pair brings with them their own existing family and the corresponding complexity and richness of inlaw relationships. These are multigenerational, multilayered, and, like a kaleidoscope, a shifting amalgam of emotional colors. Exceptionally important, inlaw relationships can be joyous and comforting. They can also be complicated, contentious, and disappointing. These ties serve as a model for how to stay connected across generations for the wellbeing of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren, and as a bellwether for what to avoid.Drawing on interviews and survey data with more than 1,500 mothersinlaw, fathersinlaw, daughtersinlaw, and sonsinlaw, the book describes how these complicated and highly significant relationships develop over time. Geoffrey L. Greif and Michael E. Woolley focus on the relationships between mothersinlaw and daughtersinlaw as well as fathersinlaw with sonsinlaw. They describe the struggles as well as the triumphs that people encounter with these relationships from the perspectives of both generations and suggest ways to improve the relationships. To improve inlaw relationships, Greif and Woolley present actionoriented family therapy theories based on the insight, communication, boundary building, and narratives that family members wish to create. They also explore how these relationships change with the normal transitions of marrying into the family, having children/grandchildren, and aging.Inlaw Relationships describes highly successful and nurturing connections as well as those that are troubled and distant. The resulting book offers a variety of clinical lenses to help readers of all backgrounds focus on and, if needed, repair inlaw relationships.
