Four out of five blended families split up within five years. What is it that makes this type of family so challenging?

The Guide for Blended Families presents well-documented advice and useful measures to ensure that adults and children in blended families can live well together. Although this type of family is becoming more common, not everyone knows all they need to know to improve family life when things get difficult. With an awareness of the classic hurdles, your family will be better prepared to handle them. In this way, family members can focus their attention on the joys and benefits of a blended family.

Research suggests that many blended families give up at the wrong time. Adults and children get on better when they know how to establish a blended family in a good and effective way.

In The Guide for Blended Families, experienced family therapist Liv Anniken Berg shares useful measures for young and old to live happily together in a blended family. This book gives you constructive advice and new knowledge about a type of family that is becoming more and more prevalent, in which research-based insight has so far been lacking.
