In this volume leading researchers offer an interesting and accessible overview of what we now know about risk and protective factors for family functioning and child adjustment in different kinds of families. They explore interactions among individual, familial, and extrafamilial risk and protective factors in an attempt to explain the great diversity in parents' and children's responses to different kinds of experiences associated with marriage, divorce, life in a single parent household, and remarriage.
"Within this volume there is something stimulating and thought-provoking for everyone. What an excellent volume to begin the new millennium!"
—Child Development Abstracts and Bibliography
"A rarity in edited books, I found no weak chapters. All were clearly written and well organized, and then provided excellent descriptions of that author's particular program of research....A strength of the book is the diversity of methodologies....Overall, this is an impressive, well-integrated book."
—Journal of Marriage and Family
"...an important contribution to the existing library of books on divorce and remarriage because it seeks to identify and elucidate the key risk and protective factors explaining variability in individual adjustment following family transitions....provides a healthy mix of conceptual overviews and empirical findings that would be accessible to most readers. This...feature is a unique characteristic of books in this field."
