Relationships fundamentally influence our health and happiness – and family is the only relationship that we cannot leave, however much we might like to. But we think too narrowly about the impact of our families on our lives. ‘Every Family Has A Story’ sees bestselling psychotherapist Julia Samuel turn from her work with individuals to sessions with a wide variety of families. Diving deep into eight case studies, with her usual storytelling panache and the latest academic research, she analyses a range of common issues including separation, step-relationships, leaving home, trauma and loss.
