Description

There is no question that the idea of family has changed throughout history, especially during the 20th century. With the very concept in flux, how can we develop a vision of family that is moral, workable, and makes sense in the 21st-century, postindustrial world? Healthy families, the book asserts, spring from a blend of "conservative" ideals (responsibility and accountability) and "liberal" ideals (innovation and change). The result is "responsible change" that benefits both the individual and society.
