"Smooth Sailing" enhances our understanding of the family' s
transition through adolescence by examining qualitative data about
the experiences of parents and teens across multiple relationships
and social contexts. This volume follows the same 60 families
described in the authors' first book, "Becoming a Family, "and now,
six years later, relates their stories" "about their transition
from childhood to adolescence. Collectively, the two books provide
a unique longitudinal perspective on family development using two
distinct data collection formats and time frames. Interdisciplinary
in nature, the book" "draws on theory and practice from the fields
of social work, psychology, and sociology.
"Smooth Sailing" reveals a picture of the transition to adolescence
as it is influenced by intrafamily relationships as well as social
context factors. Initial chapters lay the foundation for the study'
s methods. Proceeding chapters present the participants' stories,
organized by context-- developmental changes, interpersonal
relationships, education, and work. Each chapter follows a similar
format: an overview of past research; interview and coding
techniques; and a presentation of parents' and teens' qualitative
descriptions. Chapters also include an analysis of gender and
conclude with implications for practice and policy. The final
chapter in the book summarizes this work and looks ahead to the
next developmental period, emerging adulthood.
Intended for researchers in a variety of disciplines such as social
work, psychology, and sociology, this volume also serves as a
supplementary text for courses on the family and/or adolescent
development.
