But as true family members, feelings of jealousy, anger, control, guilt and fear can all play themselves out through them. Filled with true-life cases, his book revels how pets can act as foils for repressed feelings tangled up in complicated issues. Dr. Gavriele-Gold shows how you can get at the root of these conflicts, bring them out into the open, and resolve them - without having to give up the pet or the partner.
