{"product_id":"failure-to-flourish","title":"Failure to Flourish","description":"\u003cp\u003eExploring the connection between families and inequality, Failure to Flourish: How Law Undermines Family Relationships argues that the legal regulation of families stands fundamentally at odds with the needs of families. Strong, stable, positive relationships are essential for both individuals and society to flourish, but from transportation policy to the criminal justice system, and from divorce rules to\n\u003cbr\u003ethe child welfare system, the legal system makes it harder for parents to provide children with these kinds of relationships, exacerbating the growing inequality in America.  Failure to Flourish contends that we must re-orient the legal\n\u003cbr\u003esystem to help families avoid crises and, when conflicts arise, intervene in a manner that heals relationships. To understand how wrong our family law system has gone and what we need to repair it, Failure to Flourish takes us from ancient Greece to cutting-edge psychological research, and from the chaotic corridors of local family courts to a quiet revolution under way in how services are provided to families in need. Incorporating\n\u003cbr\u003ethe latest insights of positive psychology and social science research, the book sets forth a new, more emotionally intelligent vision for a legal system that not only resolves conflict but actively encourages the healthy relationships that are at the core of a\n\u003cbr\u003estable society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46061073105134,"sku":"9780190658793","price":71.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780190658793.jpg?v=1736526942","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/failure-to-flourish","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
