The movement from young adulthood through coupling and the
transition to parenthood may be among the most universal adult
developmental transitions. These passages hold interest for all of
us, but especially for those who study the psychological, familial,
and sociocultural components of development, all of which interact
and influence each other. This book enhances understanding of
family-life development by shedding light on the meanings that
family members ascribe to the developmental process of becoming a
family. This is achieved through qualitative analysis of narratives
through which individuals and families explain themselves, their
thinking, and their behavior. These family narratives are windows
into individual and family identity, as well as descriptions of
connections to others. The book addresses issues including
identity, child characteristics, social support, and work. Each
chapter includes a review of seminal literature, parents' comments
and ideas about the topic, and a discussion of practice, policy,
and research implications.
