Much academic writing on families reflects the ideal of
non-involvement and distanced subject matter. Toward More
Family-Centered Family Sciences suggests that the family sciences,
in their effort to be scientific, have perpetuated this distance
between researcher and subject, to the detriment of both. The
authors argue that family and kinship ties are transcendent ties,
boundary-crossing in numerous ways. They place an emphasis on
family love, in contrast and in addition to romantic love, and
criticize current approaches for neglecting the importance of
transcendent concepts such as love, commitment, respect, and
sacrifice in the development and well being of family structures.
Drawing from insights both inside and outside of academia, the
authors seek to reincorporate transcendent concepts into the study
of the family as a unit of society. They argue for a more
collaborative, family-centered family science and offer
recommendations for how family researchers might work to change the
scientific monologue about families to a systemic dialogue with
families.
