Jeanette C. Lauer – författare

Just as books such as Diane Ackerman's Deep Play have explored the need for individuals to engage in play, this unique relationship book explains why play is vitally important for strengthening bonds in a love relationship - and why play is crucial even for the physical and emotional health of both partners. The Play Solution shows couples how adding the power of play to their lives can reignite their passion for the relationship and each other. It outlines the types of play that promote a strong relationship while warning of those that are destructive. The authors lecture frequently on family and relationship issues and their work has been featured in numerous print publications including Self, Readers Digest, Ladies Home Journal, Vogue, Redbook, and Newsweek. They are also the authors of several well-regarded textbooks published by McGraw-Hill.
