Why don’t some marital problems change?
Having been a marital therapist and psychologist for many years, I often wonder at the amazing ability some couples have to NOT change. These couples are often intelligent, reasonable people in other areas of their life, but nonetheless become gridlocked with each other around certain marital issues. Issues in this category are called “perpetual” issues…
Anger and Intimacy: Part 2- Betrayal

Anger and Sex: Part 1- Sexual Frustration
As a practicing psychologist and marriage therapist, I often encounter clients who are angry because they suffer sexual frustration in their marriage or relationship.

Is Happiness Contagious?
When I was a boy growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, it was my Italian-American father who was the mood setter of the house. If he was happy, everybody was happy. If he was angry, the home atmosphere turned ugly with discontent spreading like an August fog in San Fransisco, from one family member to the…
Couples Reduce Anger By Sharing Tasks

Six Tips For Parents to Handle Child Anger
Often, we get phone calls from parents who are angry at their children, usually because they happen to have what I euphemistically call a “strong-willed child. ” These children are often defiant, controlling, rebellious, and non-compliant with normal parental demands or requests. Sometimes this extends to their behavior in school, but in other cases they…
Avatar: A lesson in empathy
My wife and I spent time on New Year’s Day to attend the new movie “Avatar” which is an incredible creative production. I was particularly impressed with James Camerson’s portrayal of the destructive forces of lack of empathy (by some humans) on the mythical moon Pandora. Empathy, of course, is one of the eight tools…
Anger Control Starts at Home
