"This well-focused book addresses so well the cataclysmic schism
that often fractures the unity of an intact family. Dr. McCoy
gives a glimpse into very real family dynamics of broken
relationships with poignant clinical scenarios. Her expertise
as a family counselor and therapist provides the reader with
soothing treatment and practical approaches to
understand and move forward to heal and mend these now fragile
relationships. The author provides up to-date-research to
document current counseling techniques, including research on
epigenetics. This book is a must for any parent or adult
child who have lost their relationship with each other." - Charles
J. Wibbelsman, M.D., Clinical Professor of Pediatrics, University
of California, San Francisco
"We Don't Talk Anymore is a wise, clearly written, and helpful book
for parents and adult children who are going through the trauma of
estrangement. It is a great contribution to the important, but
still relatively new, field of advice for families trying to reckon
with this painful topic. I highly recommend it." - Joshua Coleman,
PhD, author of When Parents Hurt

with estranged family members. " - Publishers Weekly-STARRED

parents and adult children." - The Midwest Book Review
