Originally published in 2002, “repartnered families” remains a highly relevant resource for families negotiating new family dynamics in repartnered or stepfamilies.

In this book Jan draws on her work with hundreds of repartnered families – and from her own personal experience.  She talks with members of repartnered families and offers a number of possible solutions.  This book will provide assistance to the many people who feel puzzled or confused by what to do next.

From reviews:

“She comes to the topic with a fresh, optimistic perspective.  This is a sensible and inclusive book which offers clear solutions… it can certainly help to alleviate the pain and conflict… I recommend large does to be taken before problems become acute…” Wanganui Chronicle

“Her tone is friendly, informed and highly inclusive.  The many case studies will make readers feel they are not alone, and that there are ways of thinking and behaving that can greatly enhance their chances of beating the statistics” N.Z. Herald

“Repartnered Families is written in an absorbing style, based on case practice experience in the therapeutic setting and offers the practitioner some real encouragement and solutions to this challenging area of family work. A further strength of the text is that the families’ voices can be clearly heard on the pages…” narrative network news, Melbourne
