Synopsis

White (social work and family studies, U. of British Columbia, Canada) and Klein (sociology, U. of Notre Dame, US) explain the reasoning behind a variety of theoretical frameworks dealing with the family. Each chapter discusses intellectual traditions, focus and scope assumptions, concepts, propositions, variations, empirical applications, implications for intervention, and critiques. The theoretical frameworks discussed include social exchange and choice, symbolic interaction, family life course development, systems, conflict, feminist, and ecological theories. Annotation c.
