Recenzje

"The papers are well-written, current and informative. All deal with important issues....The volume fits within the long tradition of human development research which seeks to create an accurate description of the phenomena and processes under study."
—Journal of Marriage and the Family

"It belongs on the shelves of good libraries..."
—Readings

"...covers the life span -- young children, adolescents, and adult children of elderly parents -- and includes representatives from psychology, sociology, and anthropology. This diversity serves well to challenge our unexamined assumptions about families and development."
—Contemporary Psychology

"...near the 'cutting edge' of family development, reviewing past concerns, reporting present research efforts, and pointing the way to new inquiries....should be read by all scholars in the field of family development..."
—Merril Palmer Quarterly

"The strength of the volume is that it is organized around topics that cut across developmental periods in the individual and family life cycles, rather than chronologically."
—Child Development Abstracts & Bibliography
