Stop the Fight!

Relationship woes are complex and destructive, and often deeply hurtful. Over years of research, clinical psychologist Dr Michelle Brody has found that the same 12 fights play out time and time again between couples, such as the ‘Partner Improvement’ Fight, the ‘You Don’t Care About Me’ Fight, and the ‘Difficult Relatives’ Fight. By addressing these areas, couples can immediately grasp the destructive cycles in their relationships.

But advice and strategies alone aren't enough to help couples solve their relationship problems: they need to see with their own eyes why they are trapped in damaging cycles of behaviour in order to find a way back to each other. Dr Brody has already used her illustrations to help thousands of couples in her clinics, and this unique book presents her psychological findings through playful yet pertinent illustrations.

It’s a one-of-a-kind relationship manual – fresh, concise, easy to use, and results oriented.

“Erica Reischer offers a 'cheat sheet' of best parenting practices. Equipped with her wisdom, we all have the potential to be ‘great parents.’”

—— Peggy Orenstein, New York Times bestselling author of "Girls & Sex" and "Cinderella Ate My Daughter"

"The great anthropologist Margaret Mead used to say that she could not understand our priorities: We require by law for people to get driving permits, but we allow people to bring up children without demonstrating any aptitude for parenting. If things were to change, Dr. Reischer's book would become an essential Rules of the Road for would-be parents."

—— Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, New York Times bestselling author of "Flow"

"Dr. Erica Reischer delivers. With oodles of great scenarios drawn from real life, it’s like she hits the pause button, and whispers a key piece of advice. Reischer may be offering simple strategies, but the wisdom behind them is incredibly deep and profound."

—— Julie Lythcott-Haims, New York Times bestselling author of "How to Raise an Adult" and former dean, Stanford University

Told with admirable candour

Hardly short of a masterpiece...Diana Melly writes with compelling candour

This is Diana Melly's book, and she has the good literary sense (and the courage) to live in its pages in a way that makes me throw my hat in the air
