This edited book draws from work that focuses on the act of telling
family stories, as well as their content and structure. The process
of telling family stories is linked to central aspects of
development, including language acquisition, affect regulation, and
family interaction patterns. This book extends across traditional
developmental psychology, personality theory, and family studies.
Drawing broadly on the epigenetic framework for individual
development articulated by Erik Erikson, as well as on conceptions
of the family life cycle, the editors bring together contemporary
examples of psychological research on family stories and their
implications for development and change at different points in the
life course. The book is divided into sections that focus on family
stories at different points in the life cycle, from early childhood
and the beginnings of narrative skill, through adolescence, young
adulthood, midlife, and then mature adulthood and its
intergenerational meaning. During each of these periods of the life
cycle, research focusing on individual development within an
Eriksonian framework of ego strengths and virtues is highlighted.
The dynamic role of family stories is also featured here, with work
exploring the links between family process, intergenerational
attachment, and storytelling. Sociocultural theories that emphasize
how such development is situated in the wider cultural context are
also featured in several chapters. This broad lifespan
developmental focus serves to integrate the exciting diversity of
this work and foster further questions and research in the emerging
field of family narrative. The book is intended primarily for
researchers and advanced-level students in the fields of
developmental and personality psychology, as well as those in
family studies and in gerontology. It may also be of interest to
those in the helping professions who are concerned with family
therapy and family issues, and may--due to its content and
illustrative material--have appeal to a wider market of the lay
public. The chapters are written in a readily accessible style and
the analyses are presented in a fairly non-technical way. Because
family stories are charted across the lifespan, it would be a
suitable companion book to a more traditional lifespan textbook in
certain courses.

This book synthesizes research about the effects of food insecurity
on children, families, and households, emphasizing multiple
pathways and variations across developmental contexts. It focuses
on emerging new methods that allow for a more refined approach to
practice and policy. The volume provides a brief overview of the
topic, and additional empirical chapters pose and address
unanswered research questions. It concludes with a short
commentary, providing recommendations for future research and
policy and yielding a significant and timely contribution to
advance developmental scientific knowledge and promote its use to
improve the lives of children and families. Featured areas of
coverage include: The effects of early food insecurity on
children's academic and socio-emotional outcomes. The effects of
household food insecurity on children with disabilities. Early
childhood access to Women, Infants, and. Children (WIC) and school
readiness. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and
adolescent mental health. Food Insecurity in Families with Children
is an essential resource for policy makers and related
professionals as well as graduate students and researchers in
developmental, clinical, and school psychology, child, youth and
family policy, public health, and social work.
While family life has conspicuously changed in the past fifty
years, it would be a mistake to conclude that family routines and
rituals have lost their meaning. In this book Barbara H. Fiese, a
clinical and developmental psychologist, examines how the practices
of diverse family routines and the meanings created through rituals
have evolved to meet the demands of today's busy families. She
discusses and integrates various research literatures and draws on
her own studies to show how family routines and rituals influence
physical and mental health, translate cultural values, and may even
be used therapeutically.
Looking at a range of family activities from bedtime stories to
special holiday meals, Fiese relates such occasions to significant
issues including parenting competence, child adjustment, and
relational well-being. She concludes by underscoring the importance
of flexible approaches to family time to promote healthier families
and communities.
