Family Careers
Rethinking the Developmental Perspective

  • Joan Aldous - University of Notre Dame, Australia, University of Notre Dame, USA

Other Titles in:
Family Life Education

May 1996 | 316 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Family Careers makes use of the developmental approach to studying families in order to present a clear, up-to-date account of the changes in families from the time they are formed until they are dissolved. Particular emphasis is given to: the influence of social contexts on patterns of family interaction over time; and the family as a social context within which individual members develop.

A coherent and manageable presentation of systems theory informs the argument, and the inherent limitations of the developmental perspective are recognized.
