Description
The vast literature on family problems suggests that most researchers and professionals see these problems as inevitable, and their own role as one of curing rather than preventing them. The family wellness movement attempts to step back a stage, with the emphasis on prevention rather than cure. Citing parallels with the movement towards prevention in medicine, Mace draws upon the insights of noted workers in the field who discuss their own roles in developing family enrichment programmes.
Their readable accounts of the philosophical and practical benefits of family wellness will make this book crucial reading for family researchers, social service professionals, educators, clergy, and students.
