The Family in a Changing World

This book is a helpful resource including a wealth of practical, pertinent guidance for nuclear families of father, mother, and one or more children; for step-families in which either husband or wife (Or both) have children from a previous marriage; or for merged families, in which each spouse has one or more children from a previous marriage; and finally, Brady bunches, including “Yours, mine and ours.” This study is unique, in that it was not intended for academic use; rather it was written in non-technical language for ordinary persons struggling with the stresses of strained relationships, and for women trying valiantly to balance a full-time career in business or industry, and another full-time job in managing a home and children. A second unique feature is that the study is not confined to a single segment of family life, such as childhood or adolescence, but it includes family interaction and relationships from the cradle to the grave.
