Call Number: 332.0240019 K694M 2009 Owned by: KOBETICH WHEELOCK Summary: Most of us have complicated, if not downright dysfunctional, relationships with money. As Drs. Brad and Ted Klontz, a father-and-son team of pioneers in the emerging field of financial psychology explain, our disordered relationships with money don't stem from a lack of knowledge or a failure of will. Instead, they are a product of subconscious beliefs and thought patterns, rooted in our childhoods, that are so deeply ingrained in us, they shape the way we deal with money our entire adult lives. But we can learn to recognize these negative and self-defeating patterns of thinking, and replace them with better, healthier ones. The Klontzes describe the twelve most common "money disorders"--financial infidelity, money avoidance, compulsive shopping, financial enabling, and more--and explain how we can learn to identify them, understand their root causes, and ultimately overcome them.--From publisher description.
