內容簡介top Family Theories 簡介 An incisive, thorough introduction to current theories of the family, this text balances the diversity and richness of a broad scope of scholarly work with the conciseness needed for ease of use in a one-semester course for upper-division undergraduate and beginning graduate students. This best-selling text has drawn on seven major theoretical frameworks developed by key social scientists to explain variation in family life. These frameworks include social exchange and choice, symbolic interaction, family life course development, systems, conflict, feminism, and ecology.
