Title: Family theories
First published: 1996
Description: "The first single-volume text to present family theory in a clear and approachable manner, Family Theories provides a thorough introduction to current theories about the family. Authors David M. Klein and James M. White incorporate a broad scope of work from two different perspectives - sociology and family studies - and survey six major theoretical frameworks developed by key social scientists to explain variations in family life.

This incisive new volume examines the exchange, symbolic-interaction, family developmental, systems, conflict, and ecological theoretical frameworks, and presents a typology for analyzing and comparing the six theories while providing direction for future theory development."--BOOK JACKET.
