The role of big finance and technology in social change is rapidly
evolving. This book examines why large financial players are
entering the social sector through social finance. Drawing on
empirical research, the authors analyse the opportunities this new
interest and commitment presents as well as the potential harm that
can be done to vulnerable people when beneficiaries are not treated
as partners and the social needs of people are not placed at the
centre of the investment model. This book introduces a 'Deliberate
Leadership' framework to help big finance tackle problems with no
easy solutions. The book also analyses how current technologies
(including blockchain) are being used and the benefits and
drawbacks of different features of these technologies from the
standpoint of the beneficiary and investor. The authors derive a
series of insights into the model of technology for social finance
and impact investing. Written as a practical book for students
alongside a field book based on an action learning methodology,
this volume will be useful to those in social finance and impact
investing.

Making Healthy Families explains the elements required to make and
sustain healthy, functional families. This timely book describes
the family life stages, from "Becoming a Couple," to "Becoming
Parents," to "Raising Adolescents" and "Launching Children." It
educates about the predictable stresses of each stage of
development, and offers guidelines and hands-on exercises for
achieving a healthy adjustment in each stage of family life. A
chapter on "Trouble Shooting" offers couples an opportunity to plot
their own predictable stress points on the family journey, thereby
allowing them to better master their particular life struggles. A
chapter on "Divorce: Crisis and Transformation" offers advice to
parents for helping their children and themselves through trying
times. A chapter on "Stepfamilies" provides wisdom about the stages
of stepfamily development that make remarriage rewarding, helping
families avoid the pitfalls that cause over half of second
marriages to fail. Learn what makes families work-from structure
and communication to family style and characteristics of healthy
marital relationships. Cutting edge research is enlivened through
real-life questions about marriage, family, and parenting that have
been answered by Dr. Peterson at www.makinghealthyfamilies.com
