Handbook of Family Theories (eBook, ePUB)

A Content-Based Approach
Redaktion: Fine, Mark A.; Fincham, Frank D.

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Organized by content areas rather than by theory, this comprehensive, accessible handbook helps readers gain greater insight into how key theories have impacted today's family research. Most competing books, organized by theory, do not provide a strong sense of the links between theory and research. Using the 2000 and 2010 decade-in-review issues of the Journal of Marriage and Family as a resource, the book addresses the most important topics impacting family studies research today.
