Surveying the vast diversity of family forms, life challenges, and value systems in our rapidly changing society, the volume has helped redefine the boundaries of "normal family life" for generations of students and practitioners. This fully revised and expanded third edition once again brings together leading contributors to illuminate the complexities of healthy family functioning across varied structural arrangements and sociocultural and developmental contexts. Existing chapters have been updated or fully rewritten to reflect the latest theories, research, demographic trends, and clinical practices. Seven entirely new chapters address single parent families, immigrant families, spirituality, family resilience, key processes in marital success and failure, and more.

 Disappointing Nov 10, 2011
By Susan Mcelree Donohue
Although the book has good content there are so many typos, grammatical errors, and missing words that it makes it almost too distracting to absorb the content. I am very disappointed that a $75.00+ textbook has such poor to non-existent editing and proof reading.
 Excellent, well organized resource Apr 16, 2011
By Dorian Gittleman
This was my textbook for a Family Psychology class at the University of Illinois and it's an excellent resource compiled by one of the "big names" in Family Resiliency research. Unlike the previous reviewer, I would say that most of the people in my class really liked this book. It's a textbook, so let's not expect it to read like an Anne Rice novel, but the information is presented in a straightforward manner, and a lot of it is really interesting. (If you find the psychology of families interesting.) I compare it to the class I'm in now at the graduate level, which focuses on similar material but where we read only primary research material- and I miss that textbook. I've kept it on my shelves and referenced it repeatedly this semester. I would certainly recommend it, although I'm not certain whom I'd recommend it to, exactly. Counselors, or people planning to teach a Families class.
 Full of good info, but a boring read..... Jan 02, 2011
By Kevin Ann Planchet
I read this book for my marriage and family class in a Masters program. While there is lots of good information, I didn't know one student in the class who enjoyed it. At times it was ass numbingly dull and more than one of us required caffeine to get through one chapter. That having been said, if you're going to be a marriage and family counselor, it's probably a good book to keep as a reference.

Normal Family Feb 06, 2012
By mcadmom0307
I am using this text for a family therapy course. The information within the book has been very enlightening. I has proven to be a useful tool within my class as well as within my own family. The authors are protraying the family as an every changing dynamic that needs to allow for growing room within society and within each person's definition of what a family is. Great reading!
