This classic Family Therapy text continues to provide “a new and more comprehensive way to think about human development and the life cycle,” reflecting changes in society away from orientation toward the nuclear family, toward a more diverse and inclusive definition of “family.”
This expanded view of the family includes the impact of issues at multiple levels of the human system: the individual, family households, the extended family, the community, the cultural group, and the larger society. The text features a ground-breaking integration of individual male and female development in systemic context; our increasing racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity; the emergence of men's movements and issues; the growing visibility of lesbian and gay families; and the neglected area of social class.

Features a wide perspective of family therapy that includes diversity of family forms and lifestyles, as well as cultural diversity.
A broad textual focus highlights the reciprocity between two neglected areas:
How the individual self develops in the context of relationships that are shaped by community and social norms, which greatly influence the individual's degree of autonomy and emotional connectedness, his or her values, beliefs, dreams, spirituality, use of time and energy, and connection to work, politics, and community.
Specific ways that the norms of community and the larger society—especially regarding race, class, gender, culture, and sexual orientation—affect individuals and their family relationships. The text offers numerous ideas for dealing with these dimensions in clinical work.
Maintains a feminist and cultural perspective throughout.
Contains chapters on men's issues, individual development, a clinical method based on Bowen's coaching model, class, violence, migration, lesbians and gays, siblings, and never-married adults.
