Cutoffs

How Family Members Who Sever Relationships Can Reconnect

by Carol Netzer

A wise and ultimately inspiring book in which Carol Netzer speaks to families who experience the intense pain of cutoffs—a decisive leave-taking, a sudden end to a family relation.

Drawing on her personal and professional experience, Netzer constructs a comprehensive framework for understanding the behavior which results in final separation and shows how symptoms can be recognized and hopefully prevented or repaired once they have occurred.
