Family Studies is a key area of policy, professional and personal
debate. Perhaps precisely because of this, teaching texts have
struggled with how to approach this area, which is both 'familiar'
and also contentious and value laden. This innovative and
reflective book deals with such dilemmas head-on, through its focus
on family meanings in diverse contexts in order to enhance our
understanding of everyday social lives and professional practices.
Drawing on extracts and research by leading authors in the field of
family studies, Understanding Family Meanings provides the reader
with an overview of the basic concepts and theories related to
families using readings with questions and analysis to encourage
reflection and learning. Published in association with The Open
University, the book centralises the question what is 'family' and
focuses on family meanings as the key underpinnings for academic
study and professional training. It explores the shifting and
subtle ways in which individuals, researchers, policy-makers and
professionals make sense of the idea of 'family' and in doing so
considers issues of power, inequality and values which are integral
to any understanding of family meanings. Audio discussions with
leading authorities in the field are also available online to
enhance the content and key concepts of the book. It therefore
provides an excellent foundation for any module in family studies,
as well as all professional training modules that include attention
to families and close relationships, and for further learning in
the area of families and relationships.
