By Patrick C. McKenry, Sharon J. Price
All families face problems, crises, transitions, and change. Some problems - marital difficulties, physical illness, work/family role stress, and death - are fairly predictable. Other problems such as divorce, homelessness, and substance abuse may or may not touch every family.
In Families in Crisis, leading researchers in the family field - in articles developed especially for this volume - outline the most common problems that face contemporary families, and the major issues, explanatory theories, and research findings on these topics. Using a family stress and coping approach, they also discuss key preventive, therapeutic, and policy strategies. Some of the other subjects this volume explores are family violence, dealing with adolescent children, and remarriage.
. Families in Crisis is an ideal reader for courses on family issues, family problems, and family relations.
