How to Keep Love—And Romance—In the Human/Animal Kingdom of Your Home

  • When you're fighting about the dog, is it really about your in-laws? When your boyfriend says, It's either me or the cat," isn't there a way you can keep both?
  • And what can you do when your girlfriend's Chihuahua can't get along with your Boxer, but you want to move in together?

Dr. Gold to the rescue, with a practical guide for couples who just want a peaceable kingdom. Sometimes animals take the place of people in relationships, so when we argue about the hamster, we may really be arguing about the children or an old boyfriend. Feelings of jealousy, anger, control, guilt, and fear can all play themselves out through our pets. Dr. Gold explains how conflicts over pets are often signs of deeper conflicts between couples, and shows how you can get at the root of these conflicts, bring them into the open and resolve them."

Praise for When Pets Come Between Partners:

"Dr. Gavriele-Gold has come up with a totally new concept in understanding the connection between man and woman and beast. This book is mind-opening in its analysis, and totally practical in its application. The author gives dramatic examples of the psychological roles pets play in our lives?not just as sources of love and companionship?but what they represent in terms of our own individual family backgrounds. But he doesn't leave you hanging there. He helps couples resolve conflicts over pets to everyone's satisfaction?including the pet's!" ?Steven S. Simring, M.D. co-author, Making Marriage Work for Dummies

"It is a fortunate companion animal whose owner reads this book. The author's insights into the psychological aspects of the human/animal bond are fascinating and enlightening. I recommend this book for anyone seeking to improve the quality of life for themselves and their animals." ?Stephanie LaFarge, Ph.D. Director of Counseling Services American Society for the Prevention of the Cruelty to Animals
