Publishers Weekly -
After discussing money ``types'' (hoarders, bingers, spenders, monks) and current cultural realities, psychotherapist Mellan offers a particularly balanced study of the often-hostile male-female relationships in private money matters. Reassuringly objective, she sees hope for improvement ``if men and women will begin to understand each other's `culture' and not take the differences between them so personally.'' Mellan pinpoints frequently divergent views on investments, philanthropy, banking arrangements and intra-couple communication which must be mutually approached, she stresses, ``with curiosity and compassion'' and eventually ``depolarized'' to a middle ground through ``love letters,'' structured ``moneytalk'' and negotiation. Case histories are offered to illustrate the process. First serial to Brides and Your New Home magazine; Fortune Book Club and QPB selections; author tour. (May)Book Details
