The book opens with a comprehensive overview of recent conceptual advances regarding normal family functioning. Bridging clinical and social science per-spectives, Dr. Walsh places the consideration of normality into a sociohistorical perspective, reminding us that families in our society were always diverse, and that our idealized model of the "normal family" may have blinded us to the potential for healthy functioning in a variety of family arrange-ments. Several leading family systems investigators then present state-of-the-art research models that delineate attributes of well-functioning families, discuss the efficacy of numerous clinical assessment instruments, and propose questions and suggestions for guiding intervention and future research. Addressing the diversity of contemporary family functioning patterns, the following sections focus on family structure, sociocultural context, and developmental context. Chapters cover the challenges faced by dual-earner, single-parent, and gay and lesbian families, as well as normative processes in divorced, remarried, and adoptive families. A broad, cross-cul-tural perspective on family normality is presented. **When you purchase this item, Phoenix Forward Furnishings will donate 10% of the final purchase price to the American National Red Cross charity.
