Exploring Family Theories
"Exploring Family Theoriesidentifies the key theories that are relevant for understanding families and explains them in a concise, straightforward manner. The application questions and sample readings help each theory come alive for students by encouraging them to think about real-world as well as research applications."--Rhonda Richardson, Kent State University"Exploring Family Theoriescovers the ten leading theories quite nicely, giving students a sense of the history, assumptions, concepts, applications, and critique of each of them. I really like that approach; it aligns perfectly with how I teach my course. I am so impressed by this text. I will adopt."--Richard N. Pitt, Vanderbilt University
