Descriere

The proliferation of divorces and remarriages at the end of the 20th century has made the concept of the stepfamily a common one in today's society. In the U.S., for example, half of all marriages are remarriages for one or both partners, and nearly one-third of the children in the U.S. will spend some time living in a stepparent household before they reach adulthood. Relationships within these blended families have their own characteristics, and much is known about their development. Despite advances in both research and clinical interventions, however, there has been little synthesis of knowledge beneficial to both investigators and practitioners.
Stepfamily Relationships: Development, Dynamics, and Interventions offers what has so far been missing in the field - a comprehensive, multidisciplinary text that provides a state-of-the-art look at this important facet of family study. This volume examines the variety of relationships within step-households as well as between households, focusing on internal family dynamics while maintaining a cultural and historical viewpoint. The diversity and complexity of families is emphasized throughout, including gay and lesbian stepfamilies, stepfamilies of varying racial and ethnic backgrounds, and stepfamilies across the life course. It will be a welcome text and reference for all those who study and work with stepfamilies and families in general.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"Anyone who studies stepfamilies should read this book. It provides as comprehensive a review as possible of the explosion of research on stepfamilies in recent years, with 30 pages of references in very small type. … A rather interesting feature of the book is the attention given to clinical research on stepfamilies. … this book serves well as a source of reference for family scholars, a basic text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses, and a stimulus for further research." (Elizabeth Thomson, European Journal of Population, Vol. 23, 2007)

Caracteristici

  • We (Ganong and Coleman) have been known for 25+ years as two of the foremost international experts on stepfamilies. 
  • This book will be more comprehensive than existing books on stepfamilies. Consequently, it will be THE resource for students and scholars.
  • Besides including cutting-edge ideas, our books are readable for undergraduate students and lay audiences.  This book will appeal to diverse audiences, ranging from scholars, clinicians, and graduate students, to undergraduates and stepfamily members. 
  • The 2004 book influenced authors of subsequent books on stepfamilies.  This edition will be seen as the same type of definitive summary of what is known about stepfamilies.
  • There has not been a scholarly general book written about stepfamilies in over 5 years.  This will be a timely publication.
  • The 2004 volume was favorably reviewed and has been widely cited.
