Marilyn Ihinger-Tallman and Teresa M. Cooney's Families in Context
introduces foundational ideas and concepts about families and
applies them to issues and events relevant to today's college
student population. This comprehensive but concise
paperback--written in clear, student-friendly language--fills the
following needs not being met by existing texts:
* The text is structured consistently, featuring an overarching
framework that combines family systems theory and ecological
systems theory. This approach bridges both micro- and
macro-perspectives on families.
* Each chapter places families squarely within their respective
environments--their neighborhood, community, and national
context--and provides conceptual linkages between the different
aspects of family life.
* Diversity is integrated into each chapter. * The text's emphasis
on social context allows the exploration of families in at least
three ways: (1) how individuals live out their intimate experiences
within families and communities; (2) the impact of family groups on
their neighborhoods and communities, and vice versa; and (3) the
ways in which the larger social contexts influence families within
different class levels and racial groups.
* The book's brevity and reasonable price allow ample time for
instructors to easily supplement their courses with additional
materials.
Each chapter opens with a "Did You Know?" box, detailing ideas
related to chapter content and preparing students for the chapter's
topics. Similarly, a box entitled "Things to Think About" offers
questions, definitions, or comments intended to provoke students'
critical thinking.
The text provides a "hands-on" approach by
featuringcritical-thinking activities at the end of each chapter,
enabling students to apply learned concepts and principles.
Finally, additional readings and a glossary of relevant theoretical
concepts are provided.
A comprehensive electronic Instructor's Manual/Testing Program
accompanies the text--as well as a dedicated Website. In addition,
an Interactive Student Study Guide is available.
