Description: "Family Diversity and Family Policy describes the dimensions of diversity which characterize the contemporary American family and discusses the implications for public policy and associated intervention programs linked to this diversity. The authors contend that if the programs and policies available to support families are to be maximally useful, they need to reflect the diversity of the families they intend to help."--BOOK JACKET.
