Family Transitions [EPUB ebook] 

This volume, the result of the second annual Summer Institute sponsored by the Family Research Consortium, focuses on family transitions–both normative and non-normative. The subject of family transitions has been a central concern of the consortium largely because studies of families in motion help to highlight mechanisms leading to adaptation and dysfunction. This text represents a collective effort to understand the techniques individuals and families employ to adapt to the pressing issues they encounter along their life course.
