"If you want to survive the culture clash under the sheets, at the workplace, across the table, or at home, this book has to be your new amigo."

Does the Latino man really feel he has to be an "exceptional lover"?
Are Latino women self-sacrificing and submissive?
How can we teach our children to love and respect their Latino heritage?

Dr. Nogales offers wise and compassionate guidance to the millions of Latinos who find themselves caught between two worlds -the traditions of their Latin culture and the demands of the American society of the 90s. Taking into account how cultural attitudes and social pressures affect the way Latinos relate and love, Dr. Nogales clarifies common myths that couples grapple with and offers strategies to reconcile cultural differences. Using intimate case histories of couples from diverse backgrounds, Dr. Nogales explores subjects such as dealing with sexual problems, adapting to changing roles for men and women, power struggles in marriage, and raising children with a sense of cultural identity. Examining each situation with a clear and frank style, she shows her readers how to break certain unwanted patterns so that they might enjoy healthier, stronger and more loving relationships.
