Description: With this Second Edition, Patrick C. McKenry and Sharon J. Price provide a volume appropriate for the study of various family problems, stressors, and changes prevalent in today's society. This text represents an integration of research, theory, and application, drawing on the interdisciplinary scholarship in each topic area. In addition, special attention is given to issues of special populations as these stressors often disproportionately affect them. This book is intended to serve as a basic or supplementary text for undergraduate and introductory graduate courses on family or social problems. Families & Change, Second Edition will also be useful to professionals, novices, and those with considerable experience, especially in social work, education, and public health, which are increasingly being required to work with family problems.
