9780471917410: Understanding Family Problems: A Psychological Approach

Synopsis

Working from a psychological rather than a sociological approach, this book reviews the major problems families commonly face. It considers how and why these problems arise, how families try to cope with them and how professionals can successfully help families deal with them. Early chapters explore the basic conceptual issues with a distinction drawn between ``the individual's family'' and ``the family unit.'' Later chapters review, in detail, some of the major family concerns--problems that commonly give rise to significant hardship and disruption--including illness and handicap, conflict and violence, separation and divorce, dying and bereavement.
