This book examines family interactions and relationships during the
transition to parenthood. It offers a unique integration of
different lines of research on prenatal family dynamics contributed
by leading family researchers in North America and Europe who use
observational approaches to study emergent family processes. The
book explores prenatal dynamics in diverse families, including
adolescent couples, same-sex couples, couples experiencing
infertility, and couples expecting their second child. The
introduction, anchored in family systems and structural theories,
provides an overview of challenges couples commonly experience
during the transition to parenthood and details prenatal family
processes that predict postpartum adjustment in families. This sets
the stage for subsequent chapters by emphasizing unparalleled
windows into prenatal family dynamics provided by direct
observation. Initial chapters focus on predictors of prenatal
interactions and partners' representations of parenthood.
Subsequent chapters describe original research on prebirth couple
interactions and the coparenting relationship emerging during
pregnancy. The volume includes several studies that rely on
innovative research designs using observations of simulated couple
encounters with their newborn, represented by a life-sized infant
doll. The book concludes with a review of recent prenatal
intervention programs designed to improve interpersonal and
coparenting relationships of married and unmarried couples. The
volume offers recommendations for future research on prenatal
family dynamics, including suggestions for methodological advances,
exploration of prenatal risk factors, expansion of conceptual
models to incorporate culturally-meaningful coparents besides
mothers and fathers, and further focus on prenatal intervention
programs. This book is an essential resource for researchers,
clinicians and professionals, and graduate students in the fields
of infant mental health/early child development, family studies,
pediatrics, developmental psychology, public health, social work,
and early childhood education.
Campaign 2000 applies the functional theory of political campaign
discourse--analyzing how messages acclaim, attack, or defend--to
several different forms of campaign communication in the 2000 U.S.
presidential primary and general election. These forms include
political advertisements on television and radio, debates,
television talk show appearances, campaign web pages, and
convention speeches by candidates and their spouses. The authors
also look at the election outcomes and explore lessons to apply to
future campaign discourse.

This book assembles 11 of the leading thinkers and researchers in
the field of family psychology to create a compendium summarizing
both what psychology researchers have learned about the family and
where the field should be going next. It evolved after the volume's
contributors met with other distinguished family scholars to
discuss family influences on child development and to ponder how
this knowledge could be used to benefit families and children. This
volume includes approaches to the family that feature multiple
levels and topics of focal interest to benefit anyone interested in
the family. Central topics include mothering, fathering, marriages,
family group processes, sibling relations, and families as systems.
In addition, three senior authors offer road maps to detect, and
suggest (a) challenges in research on parenting, (b) marital and
family dynamics, and (c) family systems in the years ahead. In
keeping with the theme of how research affects the lives of
families outside the university lab settings, this volume includes
a chapter on the interface between family research and law. This
book closes with a "big picture" analysis and critique of what is
known and not known. Psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists,
and public policymakers interested in the family should especially
find this volume of interest.

Strictly defined, ""coparenting"" is a relationship in which the
biological or adoptive parents are not in a marriage, cohabitation,
or sexual relationship with each other. Coparents may be members of
the extended family, divorced or foster parents, or other
specialized caregivers. The editors of this volume bring together a
wide range of research to explore the various caregiving
arrangements and dimensions that the term comprises. Part I of
Coparenting examines the concepts, theories, and empirical research
underlying this dynamic socialization force characteristic of all
family systems. Part II explores clinical applications--the various
assessments and interventions that promote coparenting. The volume
concludes with policy implications for human services agencies,
courts, and educational systems to encourage good coparenting as a
powerful support for at-risk children's social, emotional, and
behavioral needs.
