While family life has conspicuously changed in the past fifty
years, it would be a mistake to conclude that family routines and
rituals have lost their meaning. In this book Barbara H. Fiese, a
clinical and developmental psychologist, examines how the practices
of diverse family routines and the meanings created through rituals
have evolved to meet the demands of today's busy families. She
discusses and integrates various research literatures and draws on
her own studies to show how family routines and rituals influence
physical and mental health, translate cultural values, and may even
be used therapeutically.
Looking at a range of family activities from bedtime stories to
special holiday meals, Fiese relates such occasions to significant
issues including parenting competence, child adjustment, and
relational well-being. She concludes by underscoring the importance
of flexible approaches to family time to promote healthier families
and communities.
