Synopsis
The author of the best-selling "Reviving Ophelia" extends her reclamation efforts to address the needs of the family as the foundational source of the strength and health in every culture and society. While she shares the alarm of many observers regarding the bewildering array of societal, cultural, and economic pressures impinging upon families in the late 1990s, Pipher has little use for jeremiads. She is interested in offering thoughtful, practical strategies to reach families where they are, and to help them call upon the reserves of mutual nurture and support that lie in "the shelter of each other."

Publisher's Note
Mary Pipher finds that families have all the problems they've always had, plus many new ones created by psychology, media, and the avalanche of technology. The role of parents has changed dramatically in the last twenty years, and we are just beginning to grasp the implications of these changes. Beleaguered families blame themselves for what is essentially a cultural problem.

Industry reviews
Psychologist Pipher, the best-selling author of Reviving Ophelia (LJ 4/1/94), once again looks at American culture to explain our problems. This time, she explores the family and what today's antifamily culture is doing to it. She argues that by glamorizing sex, drugs, and violence and regarding children as consumers, our socity teaches children inappropriate values. She condemns institutions that glorify independence to adolescents who desperately need adult guidance and teach neighbor to fear neighbor. In short, she believes our culture is tearing apart the fabric of the American family and community. Pipher also criticizes therapists who blame bad parenting for children's problems rather than looking at the whole picture of culture. Yet she also offers hope by demonstrating ways of strengthening communities and bringing families closer together, using real-life success stories. This is a book that every library should own and every person should read. Elizabeth Caulfield Felt, Washington State Univ. Lib., Pullman
Breitman 

As she tells stories of families her own and others' therapist Pipher (Reviving Ophelia) focuses on small victories in what she calls "the current family-hurting culture." Distancing herself from therapies that pathologize families, Pipher claims to have experienced the power of hope that can be stimulated through carefully chosen family stories. In even the most dysfunctional families, she discerns threads of connectedness that have led to empowerment of her clients as they became more capable of handling their own lives. Pipher recommends an empathetic approach to families' efforts to survive in a difficult era, one that parallels the homesteading years of her grandparents earlier in this century. She offers plain and practical talk for beleaguered parents and the families they are trying to protect. 125,000 first printing; $100,000 promo; first serial to Good Housekeeping; author tour; BOMC main selection.
