Rezensionen
This book is dedicated to discussing trulyimportant family issues across a number of continents, cultures, and countries. It is extraordinarily well organized and accessible-with summaries of key ideas throughout. I am pleased to recommend this book to anyone who wishes to gain an overview of the latest information on how to "support and strengthen families across cultures, regions, languages and forms"
--Professor D. Russell Crane, Brigham Young University and Editor of 'Contemporary Family Therapy'
This cornucopia of research-based perspectives drawn from different cultural contexts on such an important nexus of issues is a timely gift for academics, practitioners and policy makers working to strengthen modern families. Governments across the world are belatedly recognising that partnering and parenting are not easily disentangled and support for couples is an indispensable dimension to 21st century family policy. This wide-ranging collection will be an important resource as they strive to respond to family change in nuanced, informed and effective ways.
--Dr Samantha Callan, Associate Director for Families and Mental Health, Centre for Social Justice and Honorary Research Fellow, Centre for Research in Families and Relationships, University of Edinburgh.
Angela Abela and Jan walker are to be congratulated on their achievement. They have brought together leading international scholar practitioners to produce this elegant and influential inter-disciplinary compendium of research and theory in contemporary family studies. The book assumes the status of a Handbook, in my view, because of its continuing potential to inform policy, theory, research and practice in the field of family studies for many years to come. We shall all benefit!
--Arlene Vetere, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Surrey University, UK
