| Abstract: | Creating a cohesive overview of modern family life that helps students visualize the complex influences affecting all people in families, this updated Second Edition uses a bioecological framework that takes into account our status as both biological and social beings. The text covers all the important issues--parenting, divorce, aging families, balancing work and family, family violence, and gender issues--emphasizing the individual's interactions with larger systemic influences--from family, peers, neighbors and teachers, to schools, media, institutions, and culture. Using a strengths-based approach, the book allows students to evaluate the health and functioning of a family considering the biological and cultural milieu in which it exists, rather than on its observable structure or appearance alone. An accessible writing style coupled with student-friendly pedagogical features help readers come to a multi-layered understanding of "what makes families tick," while also challenging them to reevaluate their own assumptions and experiences. |
