Introduction to Family Processes: Diverse Families, Common Ties
serves to provide an explanation of the complex workings of inner
family life. The text primarily focuses on family processes and
dynamics (the "inside" of families) as opposed to sociological
trends, political topics, or the individual psychological approach.
The text further presents the research underlying these processes
and effectively presents ways to increase the positive aspects of
family life. This edition has been updated to include current
research and contemporary topics. The text has been divided into
four parts: Foundations, Building and Establishing Families,
Maintaining Families, and Change/Turbulence/Gains/Losses. While the
research methods chapter still provides an introductory examination
of family science research, it now includes an expanded discussion
on research design, methods, and advances in the area. A new
chapter, titled "Forgiveness, Kindness, Hope, and Gratitude" has
been incorporated to amplify positive family processes and
highlight emerging research. This edition provides added emphasis
on diverse families (e.g., race/ethnicity, family structure,
LGBTQIA, ability, culture, and family formation), and each chapter
includes a new "Discussions in Diversity" section related to that
chapter. The authors have consciously included an epilogue as a way
of reflecting on what they have learned, along with what they hope
to learn in the future. Aimed at courses related to family studies
and family dynamics, this text provides a comprehensive review of
family processes. Whether it is used for undergraduate or graduate
classes, professional growth, or personal enrichment, the text
assists readers in enhancing the positive aspects of family life,
avoiding undesirable aspects, and more effectively managing the
challenges and obstacles families face that cannot be avoided.
Thus, the text holds an appeal for people who live (or will live)
in families, as well as those who want to work with families.
