There are no good families. Or, the paradox is that a perfect family is one that operates under the principle, “There is no such thing as a perfect family.”

When people have children, they unknowingly relive their own childhood feelings. Our relationship with our children is a continuation of our relationship with our parents.

Building the right connection with our child happens by healing our own childhood and the child within us. Every person carries an inner mother, father, and child, and true psychological strength lies in the psychology where the inner child is strong and respected.

There Is No Such Thing as a Perfect Family is written not only for parents but for anyone at any age who has gone through childhood and wants to understand themselves better.

With its unique perspective, this book will allow you to discover the underlying reasons for many things about yourself—such as why we suffer, why we long to be loved and feel hurt when we lose love, and why we procrastinate—through a fresh, bewildering lens.

Written by Nihan Kaya, who completed her Master’s in Psychoanalysis at Essex University in the UK, and has presented papers at psychology conferences in Europe and America while also leading childhood workshops with parents, this book compiles years of her work in the field.
