Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet the men and women whose groundbreaking work elevated the field of family studies! In Pioneering Paths in the Study of Families: The Lives and Careers of Family Scholars, you'll find 40 autobiographies written by leading scholars in sociology, family studies, psychology, and child development. Their fascinating stories demonstrate how their family experiences, educational opportunities, and occupational endeavors not only shaped the disciplines they chose but also shaped the theoretical perspectives they utilized and the topics they researched. From the editors: “These autobiographies document the experiences of scholars from the early twentieth century to the present. The descriptions of early influences on their education, of their graduate school experiences, and of their academic career paths, provides a wealth of valuable material. Since four of these scholars have died and a number are in their eighties or older, these histories provide rich case studies on factors that influence the decision to go to college, get married, pursue an advanced degree, make specific occupational choices, and investigate certain topics. These autobiographies also detail the barriers that early women scholars in the social sciences faced.” The scholars whose lives you will learn about in Pioneering Paths in the Study of Families include: Joan Aldous Katherine R. Allen Pauline Boss Carlfred B. Broderick Wesley R. Burr Catherine Street Chilman Harold T. Christensen Marilyn Coleman Rand D. Conger Randal D. Day William J. Doherty Evelyn Millis Duvall Glen H.

Book excerpt: In five narrative case studies, Hess and Handel sensitively explore the dynamics of family life. Family Worlds is a pioneering study of family interaction and family relationships in intact nuclear families. It is the first, and still one of the few studies to interview every member of the family household children as well as adults, husbands/fathers as well as wives/mothers so that each member's perspective is taken into account in arriving at conclusions. This ground-breaking study has influenced numerous subsequent family studies in several substantive areas. It is a significant exemplar of qualitative family research, continuing to challenge researchers and practitioners to consider how all the family members contribute to constructing the family's everyday world. Originally published in 1959 by the University of Chicago Press."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any agenda for family research in the 1990s must take seriously a contextual approach to the study of family relationships. The editors and contributors to this volume believe that the richness in family studies over the next decade will come from considering the diversity of family forms -- different ethnic groups and cultures, different stages of family life, as well as different historical cohorts. Their goal is to make more explicit how we think about families in order to study them and understand them. To illustrate the need for diversity in family studies, examples are presented from new and old families, majority and minority families, American and Japanese families, and intact and divorcing families. This variety is intended to push the limits of current thinking, not only for researchers but also for all who are struggling to live with and work with families in a time when family life is valued but fragmented and relatively unsupported by society's institutions. Students and researchers interested in family development from the viewpoint of any of the social sciences will find this book of value.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American families are diverse because they derive from many historical and cultural influences. Only by studying these influences can we understand family strengths and weaknesses and forecast its future possibilities. The Family, Society, and the Individual encompasses the entirety of family systems unified by a central theory: Problems of the family often represent a clash between the needs of the individual and the requirements of the social order. It is only when these two forces are in balance that the individual, family and the society benefit the most. This theory is not just enunciated in an early chapter and then ignored. It pervades and integrates the entire book. This book also provides a universal definition of the family. A basic premise of any science, including family science, requires an abstract, universally applicable definition of the core unit of analysis. The definition of the family provided in this book incorporates the fact that every family is a social network. The first edition of The Family, Society, and the Individual was published by William M. Kephart in 1961. The theoretical theme of this book remains through the eighth edition. The teachers and students alike should find this combination of classical theory and modern methodology a liberating framework within which to tell the story of the family comprehensively, inclusively, unbiasely, and clearly.
