Recenzii
“This text offers a deeper level of theoretical analysis than other textbook options. It is particularly helpful for those preparing for graduate education.”
“This book does a great job of speaking of each theory--functionalism, social exchange, symbolic interaction, life course, etc.--in an easy to understand, digestible way for students.”
“It uses scientific language that is necessary to introduce students to the frameworks of theories in general, as well as those that are specifically used within the field of marital and familial studies.”
“It is probably the most comprehensive text specifically on Family Theories that I have seen."
“We chose the text because it covered the frameworks that we had already deemed appropriate. We also liked the
assumption/concept/prop format.”
