Most of us are taught that conflict is war. Even when it occurs among
loved ones. Therefore, its occurrence means family dysfunction. Dr.
Pickhardt stands this assumption on its head. He compellingly argues
that family conflict, especially conflict between parents and
children, is a necessary component of our connecting. When parents
manage rather than react to conflict, without blame of others or self,
health emerges. All very well in theory. Fortunately, Pickhardt
shows us how to embrace conflict, using example after example of
encounters that we have all experienced, and without gilding the
lily. Even loving conflict, especially with adolescents, will often
be painful. But rather than the pain of loss, this can be the pain of
growth.

This is a good, easy to read book with lots of useful tips. The author is reputable and obviously experienced. I recommend it.

This has helped my house turn around. It has great tips, opens perspective and I have already read it twice. I have loaned it to several friends who all love it. Perfect for all conflict resolution! I love this book.
