Full Description
Now in its seventh edition, and fully revised with a complete reimagining of voice, structure, and purpose, Introduction to Family Processes explores the complex workings of inner family life. Focusing on family processes and dynamics, rather than sociological trends, political topics, or the individual psychological approach, the text presents the research underlying core family processes and offers practical strategies to enhance family well-being and strengthen positive relationships.
Key features of this edition include:
A new chapter focused on parenting and intergenerational relationships, exploring how family roles evolve and shift over time.
A contemporary focus, fully reflecting the values of inclusivity and diversity in the study of families, and including topics that speak directly to the lives of today's students, including digital life, family formation, identity, and resilience.
A wealth of pedagogical features throughout, including 'Points to Ponder' and TL;DR' summary boxes, a 'Family Toolbox' of activities, study questions, and suggested readings.
Tailored for students across undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional programs related to family studies, this book provides essential insights into the complex dynamics that shape how families function and thrive.
