<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Families are the training ground for social development. Unfortunately, they often train us to compete with others. Competitive striving disrupts our marriages and life partnerships, parenting, sibling relationships, and intergenerational connection. By exposing these familial competitions, we empower ourselves to find the remedy: cooperative goals. Using insights from twentieth-century theories Alfred Adler, empirical research, fictional case studies, and practical recommendations, this book paints a picture of cooperative family living that trains us for cooperative living in the world. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A gift to everyone who reads it..."</p><p>Paul Rasmussen, Ph.D., DNASAP; author of <em>The Quest to Feel Good</em></p><p><br></p><p>"A must-read book for all parents and clinicians...A most hopeful book for improving oneself and all humanity."</p><p>Alyson Schafer, MA; author of <em>Ain't Misbehavin' </em>and <em>The Good Mom Myth</em></p><p><br></p><p>"<em>The Cooperative Family</em> can truly help individuals, couples, families, and communities attain higher levels of cooperation and connection."</p><p>Jon Sperry, Ph.D., Co-editor, <em>Journal of Individual Psychology</em></p><p><br></p><p>"...A precise examination...The work is a gift to therapists, parents, and couples."</p><p>Francis X.
