The Family’s Construction of Reality

David Reiss

ISBN 9780674294165

Publication date: 01/01/1987

David Reiss presents a new model of family interaction grounded in the subtle and complex way in which a family constructs its inner life and deals with the outside world. Based upon fifteen years of research, the book offers a new understanding of the covert processes that hold a family together and, with distressing frequency, pull it apart.
