science. It provides a comprehensive overview of both traditional

main principles; its debates and challenges; how it has evolved
over time; its practical uses in policy, education, or further
research; and links to other theories and methodologies. In
highlighting recent research of note, chapters emphasize the
potential for innovative future applications. Key areas of coverage
include: * Risk and resilience, family stress, feminist, critical
race, and social exchange theories. * Ambiguous loss,
intersectionality, Queer, and family development theory. * Life
course framework. * Biosocial theory and biomarker methods. *
