Product Description
Now available in paperback for classroom use!br /br /em"This comprehensive text provides a rich source of perspectives on theorising about the family for scholars, researchers, and students. Another of the book's strengths is the emphasis on multimethod approaches in family research. The book covers an impressive range of topics and issues - marital happiness, adjustment of children in divorce marriages, gay marriage, sibling ties, ethnic families of colour, stepfamilies, aggression culture, work and family, religion, and social policy, to name a few. In summary, this superb volume is highly recommended and amply reflects the many contemporary perspectives on the family." -/emPhilip Sieblerem, Monash University, Victoriabr //embr /Sponsored by the National Council on Family Relations, the strongSourcebook of Family Theory and Research/strong is the reference work on theory and methods for family scholars and students around the world. This volume provides a diverse, eclectic, and paradoxically mature approach to theorizing and demonstrates how the development of theory is crucial to the future of family research. br /br /The strongSourcebook/strong reflects an interactive approach that focuses on the process of theory building and designing research, thereby engaging readers in "doing" theory rather than simply reading about it. br /br /An accompanying website,span class="prodwebdesc1"span style="FONT-FAMILY: "http://www.ncfr.org/sourcebook,/span/spanoffers additional participation and interaction in the process of doing theory and making science. Editors Vern L. Bengtson, Alan C. Acock, Katherine R. Allen, Peggye Dilworth-Anderson, and David M. Klein have brought together a prominent group of diverse contributors ranging in race and ethnicity, age and seniority, and gender and sexual orientation. br /br /The strongSourcebook /strongbegins with a section that sets the context for future family research. The subsequent sections explore changing family patterns, changing family interactions within and across generations, and families and larger social forces. A concluding section discusses issues of teaching family theories and research.br /br /strongKey Features/strong br /ulliFocuses on the process rather than the outcomes of family theory and research methods /liliEmphasizes the value of multi-methods approaches in family research by integrating theory development with the development of research methods /liliDiffers from many other publications on family research by describing the development of new ideas rather than just summarizing existing findings /liliThe interactive Web site andthe special feature boxes within the chapters engage readers with theory and methodology. Boxed features includeCase Studies, Spotlights on Theory, Spotlights on Methods, and a Discussion and Extension sections. /liliRepresents a "Who#x2019;s Who" of family researchers with contributions from many of the best researchers in the family realm /li/ulbr /The strongSourcebook/strong will be an excellent addition to any academic library. It is an authoritative reference for scholars and researchers in Human Development and Family Studies, Sociology, Social Work, and Psychology. In addition, the strongSourcebook /strongcan also be used in graduate courses on family theory and methodology. (20070905)
