Book addresses change in families

Monday, April 23, 2001

Change is an integral part of any family’s day-to-day experience. Problems, crises, transitions and change all affect the family as society moves into a more complicated future. Families feel every stress in society’s fabric, ranging from the difficulties associated with divorce to violence and abuse. Practitioners and researchers grapple with these complex issues each day and require suggestions and solutions to the tough situations associated with families and change.
With this second edition of Families and Change, UGA professor emeritus of family and child development Sharon J. Price and Patrick C. McKenry of Ohio State University have integrated scholarship from a variety of disciplines to address the most common problems faced by contemporary families. An overview of the major points of contention, explanatory theories and research knowledge are discussed by leading researchers in the field. Contributing authors each represent a particular area of expertise and provide an interdisciplinary approach to the topic. In addition, particular attention is given to issues of special populations, as they are disproportionately affected by many of the stresses of family change.
Families and Change is a valuable asset to practitioners in social work, education and public health who work with family problems.
