"An excellent book offering methods to work out differences is When Parents Disagree and What You Can Do About It, by Dr. Ron Taffel with Roberta Israeloff....Filled with real-life examples from Dr. Taffel's practice, it's practical and reasonable, offering insights into how parents feel and how to change behavior that doesn't help the family. Whether mothers feel that fathers don't pay enough attention, or whether fathers feel that mothers are obsessed with minutiae, neither side is all right or all wrong; Dr. Taffel's guidance offers substantial help in changing attitudes and helping both parents feel that they are, after all, on the same side."--ForeWord Magazine
"This book is a hands-on, practical guide to understanding child-rearing differences between parents, and how to work through conflicts arising from these. Taffel provides an interesting analysis of the genesis of couples' disagreements over how to parent children....The book appears to be targeted to parents (as a self-help book) but I believe it can be useful for couples and/or family therapists and counsellors as well. Taffel provides a number of concrete exercises (e.g., the 'endless list exercise', aimed at identifying inequalities in parenting responsibilities between parents) and advice (e.g., for mothers, learning the belief that 'I am not completely responsible') intended to counteract some of the pernicious effects of the aforementioned paradigm. He also gives clear, unambiguous advice on how to deal with specific problems common to children at different stages of development. Taffel's concreteness in this regard is both refreshing and practical, and his suggestions can be easily adapted for use in counselling practice....The book will also likely be useful for clinicians who already have a repertoire of skills for dealing with the concerns of couples. For these, one of the book's main strengths is that it highlights tacit biases practitioners may have when working with couples, thos raising clinicians' self-awareness in addition to providing concrete tools for working with couples."--Pastoral Sciences

"The writing style is colorful and illustrative, and the many anecdotes paint a picture, rather than presenting the message didactically or judgmentally. This will be a useful and appealing book for practitioners to recommend."--Psychiatric Times
