Recenzii

Informed by a stimulating range of recent research on family relationships, this important book explores the value of boundary-based metaphors to reveal families as relationship processes rather than entities. It deserves to be widely read. John Rodger, Department of Social Policy and Social Work, University of Paisley, UK

This book would make fascinating reading for all concerned with families, especially those working in the human services and social policy fields. Family Matters

... a light read on a range of topics and of interest to those considering contemporary relationships in general. SRA News
