Editorial Reviews

"The excellent concluding chapter...integrates the content of the book and provides a new systhesis that is sure to become the foundation for researchers building a process model of family life. Methodology texts are rarely as interesting and thought-provoking as this. Highly recommended for advanced undergraduates and up."
—CHOICE

"...a satisfying introduction to a variety of research programs and perspectives in this area. It should be of interest to those new to the area as well as those with experience in it."
