The Handbook of Contemporary Families explores how families have changed in the last 30 years and speculates about future trends. Editors Marilyn Coleman and Lawrence H. Ganong, along with a multidisciplinary group of contributors, critique the approaches used to study relationships and families while suggesting modern approaches for the new millennium. The Handbook looks at how changes within the contemporary family have been reflected in family law, family education, and family therapy. The Handbook of Contemporary Families is an excellent resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, educators, and practitioners who study and work with families in several disciplines, including Family Science, Human Development and Family Studies, Sociology, Marriage & Family Therapy, and Social Work.

In this major new introduction to family studies and the sociology of the family, Richard J Gelles shows the links between the institutional constraints shaping family structure and processes and the family environment itself. A sensitivity to family diversity across history, gender, nationality, culture and age, as well as a strong focus on the theoretical and research bases, are important features of the book. There are also extensive discussions of contemporary topics such as: family violence; later life families; the variety of family structures and practices in different cultures and nationalities; the work//family nexus; and family stress. An instructor's manual by Tricia Dyk is available to those who

Recent studies have shown that as many as a third of all school children show some signs of school dysfunction, and an increasing body of evidence strongly indicates that aspects of family life are basic determinants of children's school adjustment. In ""Contemporary Families: A Handbook for School Professionals"", 21 contributors examine the changing nature of American families, discuss the relationship of home life to school and the critical role of familial experiences, and develop and recommend interventions. In Part 1, family configurations are discussed - dual wage, single-parent, and step-families. Such families have become far more prevalent in recent years, and are more vulnerable to other social strains. The authors of Part II examine the dimension of ethnic and cultural diversity. Hispanic, African-American, and Korean families are considered, the ways in which cultural behaviours influence school-related behaviours, the effects of language socialisation and discrimination. Parts III and IV examine families facing the highly stressful situations of poverty, death and divorce, and the long-term stressors of learning disability, chronic illness and psychological disturbances in both children and parents. Part V is devoted to varying personal and social resources among families. ""Contemporary Families"" attempts to provide a theoretical framework from which school professionals can develop an understanding of each child's unique family circumstances on school adaptation, and from there begin to take remedial steps. Truancy, drug and alcohol abuse, fighting, illiteracy, school phobia, low academic performance, dropping out - ""Contemporary Families"" aims to show how preventive efforts directed toward the family can stem these maladaptions before they reach critical levels in children.

Contemporary Families at the Nexus of Research and Practice integrates current research with clinical theory to establish the most up-to-date, evidence-supported treatment options for unique contemporary families. Each chapter begins with a case study and genogram. A research section that explains family experiences outlined in the case study follows. Finally, a treatment section presents clinical theory and provides an evidence-supported practice. Together, each chapter demonstrates how theory gets translated into practice. Family forms discussed include families of divorce, stepfamilies, families of addiction, impoverished families, families of incarceration, families of cyberbullying, and families of murder victims. Whether you’re a professional or a student, this book will provide both relevant research findings and explicit instruction and case material to augment your practice.

This open access book brings together a unique set of comparative data from Western and Central Europe on how contemporary families live, and discusses the similarities and differences in family lifestyles in this region. The empirical data comes from the authors‘ original research derived from adult representatives of families with children in the Czech Republic, Germany, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine. The authors compare and interpret information on the social and economic situation of families, expressed satisfaction in their lifestyles, and leisure and media in the everyday life of families. Overall, the authors bring into the discussion both current knowledge and original empirical data on families and contribute to literature on the sociology of the family, particularly in Europe. This book is useful to researchers and students interested in family issues, along with professionals in the field of family care and social policy.

Written for researchers, practitioners, and students in advanced courses, this book furthers our understanding of the complexity of contemporary families. Seven types of families are the focus of this book, based on the research available and the challenges they present for mental health professionals. The family forms discussed are • Adoption • Foster care • Interracial families • Family members with special needs (with a focus on autism) • Families with LGBTQ members • Grandparent-headed Families • Family members with chronic medical conditions The volume establishes an innovative format that fits the new age of evidence-based practice. Each chapter is written by a collaborative team of authors consisting of researchers and practitioners. The former address the prevalence and characteristics of the family form and then present the research findings most relevant to clinical practice; the latter use this as the foundation for their portion of the chapter, in which they discuss strategies for good therapeutic intervention, representing a true integration of science and practice. Readers learn about relevant research findings regarding each family described, as well as gain explicit instruction and case material for which to augment therapeutic efforts with these populations.
