Stepparenting

Summary: An invaluable, highly recommended reference guide.
Review: Stepparenting: The Best Resources To Help You Blend Your Family features over 150 resources focused specifically on stepparenting and stepfamiles. In this invaluable guide to books, websites, and more, Patricia Stevens draws upon her nearly twenty years of experience in mental health work, private counseling, supervision of counseling professional, university teaching, and seminar presentations to create a truly "reader friendly" resource for blending the family successfully with respect to daily rituals, discipline, holidays, vacations, couple relationships, parental roles, and much, much more. Of special practicality is the material devoted to dealing with such stereotypes as the "wicked stepmother" or the "abusive stepfather", as well as the important responsibilities of working cooperatively with an ex-spouse or biological parent of the stepchild. Highly recommended.
