Also well known to the public is the renowned psychiatrist and family therapist Daniel Sampaio, who returns to Pátio to present the most recent of an already vast list of works.
“At a time like ours, when about half of marriages end in divorce, the problem becomes serious and leaves no one indifferent. The book leads us to a reflection as deep as it is wide-ranging on all aspects of this issue: how the first symptoms of the breakup of the couple manifest themselves; how to detect these symptoms and adopt a critical attitude; how to deal with children in a falling marriage; what role can each spouse's family play; what is the role and virtues of marital therapy; how to conduct a divorce with the fewest damages. The work also has a chapter dedicated to the conflicts inherent in gay and lesbian conjugality», revealed the bookstore Leya no Pátio.
