Love and Conflict New Patterns in Family Life

---

"~This sympathetic analysis of the family today offers new insights to those beset by the pressures of the lonely crowd and organization man. The security and sense of identification we formerly drew from community and neighborhood ties now depend on the family. This greater dependence on the family has created serious new stresses. ""Our society,"" the author points out, ""has narrowed the sphere of intimacy almost exclusively to the immediate family of parents and children. . . . Can the family meet such excessive demands for intimacy?"" LOVE AND CONFLICT examines these demands clearly and realistically and helps each reader achieve honest understanding. It makes specific suggestions for ap- proaching the problems each family must face-the problems contributing to divorce, delinquency, sexual conflict, confusion over authority, and the hundred other pitfalls of modern marriage. It will be especially helpful to families with children and those who must face the problem of older (and frequently ill) relatives, as well as the husband and wife who must learn to live with each other in an intimacy far greater than any civilization has demanded before. Anybody who reads it carefully cannot help becoming a better husband or wife and a happier person.~"
