"Insightful, historically illuminating in a very interesting way,
and a must-read for every psychiatrist and mental health
professional who works with stepfamilies. And now we know that we
all do!"-- Laura J. Klein, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor,
Department of Psychiatry,
University of Colorado Health Sciences Center
"StepWisdom: Knowledge from the Ages for Successful StepFamilies is
truly wonderful. There is nothing out there like it. Eleanor Alden
speaks to the reader with clarity and moments of humor. She makes
the case so well that stepfamilies are the norm and that there is
no reason that they can't be gifts. Everyone should be required to
read this before they enter a marriage with children. The work is
truly captivating."-- Claudia Black, MSW, PhD, Author and
Addictions Specialist
"This rich and careful work on the holy and unholy aspects of
stepfamilies, written by therapist and professor Eleanor Alden, not
only draws on observations and understandings from her private
practice and education, but also from growing up in a stepfamily
herself. This evocative work offers understandings about patterns
of both sweet and sour drives and impulses within stepfamilies as
found in reality and mythos. This work can help others sow the
seeds for a beautiful flowering within those special families
called 'step' -- as in 'step' to a more fulfilling
consciousness."-- Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Est s, Diplomate Jungian
Psychoanalyst, Author of "Women Who Run with the Wolves"
