Family, Self, and Society cover

This new second edition has been reconstructed and rewritten to cover emerging issues and trends impacting the modern family, while continuing to analyze important traditional topics. It highlights five themes: family prevention and wellness; family stress, work and personal life; the growing influence of media, computers and high technology; the need for all family members to acquire family resource skills and learn strategies for negotiation, decision-making, managing conflict, and finances; and the process of seeking professional help and therapy.

A useful library addition. Good as a seminar resource for an advanced course. The Appendix discussion questions are helpful for class use. -- Brenda Forster, Elmhurst College
