Marriage and the Culture of Peace: Communication Skills for Families, Therapists, and Society
by Cecilia Sarahi de la Rosa Vazquez Paris A. Cabello-TijerinaThis book provides skills for therapists and families to help improve interpersonal communication, promoting a new system of family coexistence and a refreshed concept of the modern marriage in society. Written from a constructivist peace perspective, the book’s aim is to reduce the high statistics of intimate partner violence that occurs in Mexico, arguing that the culture of peace and how it is born in the family in turn affects society for better or for worse. Based upon interviews from 150 long-term married couples, the chapters address the components that promote peaceful dialogue in marriages, such as assertive language, active listening, tolerance to frustration, and gender perspectives. Including accessible language and several models of peace, the book uniquely examines same-sex marriages, the role of children in marriage conflicts, and prescribed gender assumptions and roles in relationships. It aims to empower family members to move away from old habits and seek a more equitable existence in marriages and society at large. This interdisciplinary text will be of great interest to family therapists and clinical social workers, as well as to students and researchers in communication and peace studies.

Marriage, Past and Present: A Debate between Robert Briffault and Bronislaw Malinowski
by Bronislaw Malinowski Robert BriffaultDelve into the fascinating and thought-provoking world of anthropological and sociological discourse with Marriage, Past and Present: A Debate between Robert Briffault and Bronislaw Malinowski. This compelling work captures the intellectual clash between two of the early 20th century's most prominent scholars as they explore the evolution and significance of marriage in human societies.Robert Briffault, a noted anthropologist and sociologist, and Bronislaw Malinowski, a pioneering figure in social anthropology, bring their distinctive perspectives and expertise to this vigorous debate. Through a series of essays and counterarguments, they examine the historical development of marriage, its cultural variations, and its role in contemporary society.Briffault, known for his critical views on the institution of marriage, argues that marriage has evolved primarily as a social contract influenced by economic and political factors. He challenges traditional notions of marriage as a natural and universal institution, proposing instead that it is a construct shaped by specific historical and cultural contexts.In contrast, Malinowski, celebrated for his fieldwork and functionalist approach, defends the idea of marriage as a fundamental and universal aspect of human societies. He emphasizes the biological and social functions of marriage, including the regulation of sexual relations, the rearing of children, and the establishment of kinship networks.Join Robert Briffault and Bronislaw Malinowski in this enlightening and engaging exploration of marriage, and discover the varied interpretations and meanings of this enduring social institution. Marriage, Past and Present is a timeless contribution to the study of human relationships and cultural evolution.
Marriage: Studies in Emotional Conflict and Growth (Routledge Library Editions: Marriage)
by Lily Pincus‘What are marriage difficulties really all about?’ This fundamental question, and the allied one of how help can be given to those in trouble in their marriages, constitute the theme of this book. Originally published in 1960, the authors were a group of caseworkers who over the previous ten years had treated and studied the problems of about 2,000 married couples. They worked as a closely-knit specialist unit in co-operation with psychiatric consultants from the Tavistock Clinic. The work is based on the psycho-analytic theory of personality development and human relationships. This theory is supported by five detailed case-studies which form the central part of the book. The main purpose is to demonstrate the particular therapeutic technique which has been evolved. The book would have been of interest to social workers, doctors and all who were concerned to make marriages as rich a source of happiness as possible at the time. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Married Life and its Vicissitudes: A Therapeutic Approach
by Arturo VarchevkerThis book is about marital relations and its vicissitudes, and the possible way of dealing with them through marital therapy. It reflects the importance of turning marital miscommunications into constructive communications between partners in order to improve their relationship. The psychoanalytic perspective plays a significant role in exploring the marital relationship through the partners' emotional interaction with each other and the effect that their personal emotional development has on their constructive and destructive attitudes. On some occasions, other therapeutic models can be added to reinforce the therapeutic exploration and the possible therapeutic goal. The contributions of Freud and post-Freudians, and later Melanie Klein and her followers, enabled a deeper and wider view to better understand the emotional vicissitudes in marital interaction. A marital relation is an important unit that is placed between the individual and the family and is affected by social and cultural contexts. Beginning a marital relationship implies a significant move or change in the individual's development.

Marrying Bipolar: The Highs And Lows Of Loving Someone With A Mental Illness
by Natasha DavidOn the last day of winter in 2005, John committed suicide in his car on a lonely side road of the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney, Australia. He was six months shy of his thirtieth birthday. It was the culmination of nine years of struggle for John and his wife, as he battled undiagnosed mental illness, a gambling addiction, and an earlier suicide attempt. Despite his wife's love and attempts to understand his condition, in the end nothing could save John from his demons. Tragically, John&’s story could be anybody's story. In Australia, around 2,100 people commit suicide every year; up to 12% of people affected by mental illness take their own lives (compared with an average of 1.7% for the whole population), and suicide is the main cause of premature death among people with mental illness. But the effects of suicide are even more far-reaching. Its impact on those left behind is frequently devastating and lifelong. The author knows this first-hand. Marrying Bipolar is the account of a wife&’s struggle to understand the events in her husband&’s life that would eventually lead to their marriage breakdown and his untimely death. Natasha&’s experience watching her husband struggle with the complexity of mental illness, has led her understand the deadly role denial has to play, for both sufferer and partners. In the process, the author addresses her own search of ways to address denial of the darkness that resides in all of us, and the compassion needed to heal and rebuild lives after enduring.

Marte y Venus en el dormitorio: Amor y pasión duraderos en la vida de la pareja (Vintage Espanol Ser.)
by John Gray¿Es la extinción del deseo sexual una ley inexorable de la vida en pareja? Si bien la experiencia de muchos matrimonios parece corroborarlo, no hay nada que lo determine.

Este libro no es una guía sexual convencional, por lo que no se centra en la mecánica del sexo, sino en los principios y métodos para mejorar la comunicación entre los miembros de la pareja, y «mantener viva la magia del enamoramiento».
