Description and Table of Contents

Description

The conventional structure of the family is changing. Scanzoni develops a new model of the family, one that avoids sexual inequality and pays increased attention to the needs of individual family members, particularly children. Above all, it is dynamic, changing as society changes. Scanzoni reviews the history of the conventional family, the responses to current changes, the benefits of his new model, and the problems of establishing it as a living alternative. `While this is a book to be read by anyone interested in the future of the family, it will be particularly helpful for those who are teaching about the family, doing family research, or engaged in setting up a better environment for the family.' -- Family Relations, April 1984 `...this book is absorbing and illuminating for anyone working with families or marital breakdown.' -- Crucible, July/September 1984
