Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this book, internationally known psychologist Cloe Madanes and writer Claudio Madanes present a revolutionary view of the hidden role money plays in families and break the silence about the power money holds over family life. In dozens of stories, anecdotes, and case histories, The Secret Meaning of Money shows how husbands and wives, parents and children, adult children and older parents all use money in covert ways that express desires, struggles for power, yearning for commitment, as well as the need for revenge and retribution. To prevent money issues from destroying relationships, the authors present an extraordinary problem-solving technique that uses money to repair family conflicts. The authors guide the reader through the challenges money presents in the lifecycle, and they also tackle the unique problems that are common in wealthy families and the conflicts that arise when families are living in impoverished circumstances. This important book can help each of us understand the secret meaning of money in our own lives and how we can best use money to restore and heal family relationships.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Open Learning Units offer a very flexible approach to the teaching of psychology. They are designed to be more than sufficient for the purposes of A/S and A-Level psychology, and the applied emphasis will appeal to various vocational courses such as those offered by BTEC and also to mature students on Access courses. Their primary use will be in the classroom with a tutor's guidance, but the interactive style makes them equally appropriate for the purposes of self-study. More advanced students might want to use the Units to learn at their own pace, and in all cases, the careful structure of the writing and the extensive use of Examples, Open Questions and Self-Assessment Questions make them ideal revision guides.
