The Patchwork Family Guide

Norwegian title: Bonusfamilieguiden

Liv Anniken Berg

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

The Patchwork Family Guide 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 patchwork family.

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

In The Patchwork Family Guide, experienced family therapist Liv Anniken Berg shares useful measures for young and old to live happily together in a patchwork 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.
