Do stepfamilies experience greater levels of stressors than first
families? Do they also experience more negative manifestations of
stress? Find the latest research on these questions and more in
this groundbreaking exploration of the complex factors and dynamics
that make up stepfamilies. The Stepfamily Puzzle fills a gap in
research that has not kept pace with the rapid growth of interest
in this subject. It sets some of the pieces of the stepfamily
puzzle into an intergenerational framework that includes the roles
of grandparents, parent-child interactions, the struggles to define
boundaries and achieve marital intimacy, and the underlying effects
of financial support on stepfamily well-being. The Stepfamily
Puzzle compares the effects of stress in stepfamilies and
conditions in other families and reveals that the differences
between the two types of families may not be as dramatic as long
assumed. It also examines in-depth the emotional and financial
stressors that impact stepfamilies and how this stress is exhibited
in family relationships. Other groundbreaking research presented in
this book includes: the closeness of relationships between children
and grandparents in stepfamilies as compared to children and
grandparents in first families effects of ongoing attachment to the
former spouse on post-divorce relationships stepsibling subsystems
a comparison of self-esteem and behavior problems of stepchildren
and children in other family structures social support received by
children in stepmother, stepfather, and intact families quality of
stepfather-adolescent relationships effect of child support on
stepfamily satisfactionTherapists, attorneys, and those interested
in the numerous therapeutic and psychoeducational programs,
self-help groups, and trade literature available on stepfamily
relationships will find The Stepfamily Puzzle a valuable
introduction to current research in this area. By presenting the
complex variables that interact within stepfamilies, this book
helps professionals understand the dynamics behind stepfamily
relationships so they can provide effective support and care.
