Familienalltag: Ein systematisches Review zur Entwicklung eines konzeptionellen Modells (Familienforschung)
by Doreen MüllerUnter erziehungswissenschaftlicher Perspektive hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten die Familie als (informelle) alltägliche Lernumwelt an Bedeutung gewonnen. Nicht nur in der Erziehungswissenschaft, sondern auch andere Disziplinen wie Psychologie und Soziologie analysieren die Bedeutung der Familie und des Familienalltags. Sowohl zwischen als auch innerhalb der Disziplinen liegen heterogene Konzeptualisierungen von Familie und ihrem Alltag vor. Mittels eines systematischen Reviews entwirft Doreen Müller ein interdisziplinäres Gesamtmodell zum Familienalltag. Neben der Verdeutlichung von existierenden Forschungslücken zum Familienalltag kann das erarbeitete Modell als Grundlage für eine Operationalisierung herangezogen werden und bietet einen Rahmen für zukünftige Forschung, je nach Fragestellung die wichtigsten Aspekte (umfangreich) zu erfassen.
Familienformen im sozialen Wandel
by Rüdiger PeuckertDas Buch zeigt für West- und Ostdeutschland und für die Länder der Europäischen Union vergleichend auf, dass der Anteil der Bevölkerung, der nach konventionellen Mustern lebt, stark rückläufig ist und im Zuge eines allgemeinen gesellschaftlichen Modernisierungsprozesses die Zahl derer ansteigt, die nicht-traditionale Lebens- und Beziehungsformen praktizieren. Informationen der amtlichen Statistik werden ergänzt durch Ergebnisse empirischer Untersuchungen, die die Selbstwahrnehmung der Befragten in den Mittelpunkt stellen und differenzierte Einblicke in die komplexen Beziehungskonstellationen erlauben.

Familiengerichtliche Anhörungen nach elterlicher Trennung: Eine Analyse aus der Perspektive von Kindern und Jugendlichen
by Annemarie Graf-van KesterenDie Forschungsarbeit untersucht die subjektive Bedeutung von familiengerichtlichen Anhörungen nach elterlicher Trennung und Scheidung. Wie erleben betroffene Kinder dieses Beteiligungsformat? Welche Bedingungen und Herausforderungen bestehen aus der Sicht dieser Kinder für ihr Sprechen vor Gericht? Welche Handlungsspielräume gibt es in den familiengerichtlichen Verfahren? Zur theoretischen Einbettung wurden in der ungleichheitsinformierten Arbeit theoretische Bezüge zu Agency, Generationaler Ordnung und Partizipation verschränkt. Zur empirischen Beantwortung der Fragen wurden zehn leitfadengestützte Interviews mit familiengerichtserfahrenen Kindern und Jugendlichen (9-16 Jahre) erhoben. Die Auswertung erfolgte mit neueren qualitativen Methoden wie Integrativen Basisverfahren und Agency-Analyse. Die vorliegende Studie ist eine der wenigen, welche auf mit Kindern direkt erhobenen Daten basiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, wie die Akteur*innen die Anhörungen, ihre Handlungsmächtigkeit sowie ihr Partizipationshandeln als relational erleben: Konstitutiv gebunden an die familiären Beziehungen und konstitutiv gebunden an die Beziehungen zu den als justiznah-assoziierten Fachkräften. Insgesamt lässt sich eine Skala subjektiver Handlungsmächtigkeit rekonstruieren, welche von subjektiv erlebter Partizipation bis hin zu widerfahrener Ausgrenzung und (epistemischer) Gewalt reicht.

Families
by Jane HowardIn 'Families' Jane Howard informally visits many dozens of families and tries to discover what makes the best ones work so well. Families are not dying, she finds, although they are evolving in various ways. From the tightest-knit nuclear family or extended clan to the most fragile new commune, the family in one guise or another remains everybody's most basic hold on reality. We may run away from our families as many do, but no sooner do we escape than we find another one, often very much like it. Sympathetically, with immense thrust, she crosses the continent to discover families' myths, jokes, and rituals. She leafs through their scrapbooks, sits on their porches, and takes part, when she can, in their feasts and celebrations. She talks to a father of eighteen, several double first cousins, stepchildren, multiple godmothers, an honorary relative of an Indian tribe, and a nine-year-old boy who has no family but his mother. She sits with a matriarch on the front stoop of a ghetto house, goes camping with a family in Mexico, has Thanksgiving with another in Iowa, and orders pizza with a Greek clan in Massachusetts. Howard reports on visits to conventional Southern and Jewish households and to innovative ones whose members, lacking a common history, plan on building common futures as if water were after all as thick as blood. She examines the notion that "there are ways and ways of achieving kinship, of which birth and marriage are only the most obvious." Millions of clans and families all over the United States continue to celebrate, quarrel, disband, reunite, and endure. Jane Howard makes us realize how our lives are interwoven both with the families we are born into and with those we invent as we go through life. 'Families' is compassionate, provocative, and profound. The paperback edition of this important work will be essential reading for all those with an interest in the study of familial bonds, particularly sociologists, anthropologists, and psychologists.

Families (Key Concepts)
by Vanessa MayIn this accessible and engagingly written book, Vanessa May invites readers into the rich world of thought, research and study of the highly diverse phenomenon of families and family life. The book explores what is and has been understood by ‘family’ in different sociocultural contexts and how family life intersects with social spheres such as the state, the labour market and the economy. Alongside broad social developments such as (post)colonialism and austerity and their connections with changing family patterns, the book engages interdisciplinary work on time, embodiment and materiality in order to offer a multidimensional perspective on the day-to-day lives of families. Drawing from research in the Global North and the Global South, the text carefully considers how people approach the study of families and thus offers insight into the shape of mainstream family studies today. The book offers a timely intervention into current debates within family studies and suggests avenues of investigation that deserve further attention, and will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars alike.
Families - Beyond The Nuclear Ideal
by Sarah Chan Daniela CutasThis book examines, through a multi-disciplinary lens, the possibilities offered by relationships and family forms that challenge the nuclear family ideal, and some of the arguments that recommend or disqualify these as legitimate units in our societies. That children should be conceived naturally, born to and raised by their two young, heterosexual, married to each other, genetic parents; that this relationship between parents is also the ideal relationship between romantic or sexual partners; and that romance and sexual intimacy ought to be at the core of our closest personal relationships - all these elements converge towards the ideal of the nuclear family. The authors consider a range of relationship and family structures that depart from this ideal: polyamory and polygamy, single and polyparenting, parenting by gay and lesbian couples, as well as families created through assisted human reproduction.
Families And Their Social Worlds (Third Edition)
by Karen SeccombeFamilies and Their Social Worlds 3/e, leads students to view the family on a macro level by examining policies in place and how those policies impact families.

These essays aren't reprints; every article is an original contribution to the research and theory about families―written specifically with undergraduate readers in mind.
Families Caring for an Aging America
by Engineering Medicine National Academies of SciencesFamily caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation’s family caregivers provide the lion’s share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults’ access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
Families Under Stress
by Benjamin R. Karney John S. CrownThe authors estimate marriage and marital dissolution trends from 1996 to 2005, and the effects of recent deployments on risk of ending a marriage. Marital dissolution rates across services and components are currently similar to those seen in 1996, when the demands on the military were measurably lower. Service members who were deployed had a lower risk of subsequently ending their marriages than those who did not deploy or deployed fewer days.
Families We Keep: LGBTQ People and Their Enduring Bonds with Parents
by Rin Reczek Emma Bosley-SmithWhy LGBTQ adults don’t end troubled ties with parents and why (perhaps) they shouldFamilies We Keep is a surprising look at the life-long bonds between LGBTQ adults and their parents. Alongside the importance of “chosen families” in the queer community, Rin Reczek and Emma Bosley-Smith found that very few LGBTQ people choose to become estranged from their parents, even if those parent refuse to support their gender identity, sexuality, or both. Drawing on interviews with over seventy-five LGBTQ people and their parents, Reczek and Bosley-Smith explore the powerful ties that bind families together, for better or worse. They show us why many feel obliged to maintain even troubled—and sometimes outright toxic—relationships with their parents. They argue that this relationship persists because what we think of as the “natural” and inevitable connection between parents and adult children is actually created and sustained by the sociocultural power of compulsory kinship. After revealing what holds even the most troubled intergenerational ties together, Families We Keep gives us permission to break free of those family bonds that are not in our best interests.Reczek and Bosley-Smith challenge our deep-rooted conviction that family—and specifically, our relationships with our parents—should be maintained at any cost. Families We Keep shines a light on the shifting importance of family in America, and how LGBTQ people navigate its complexities as adults.
Families and Adoption
by Harriet Gross Marvin B SussmanDo parents with adoptive children see themselves as similar to or different from nonadoptive parents? Is the stigma attached to adoption lessening? Does open communication about adoption contribute to the family's well-being? How successful are adoptive adults at putting their adolescent turmoil behind them? These and many other important and complex questions are addressed in Families and Adoption, an informative guidebook that shows you how adoption is both a condition and a lifelong process. Families and Adoption discusses legislation that can serve the needs of various members of the adoptive experience to deepen your understanding of the key legal issues associated with consent and openness. It also provides you with detailed coverage of changes in adoption law, open adoption research results, transracial and transethnic adoption, and the consequences of placing versus parenting for unmarried, teenage women who give birth. Graduate students, social workers, adoption professionals, members of adoptive families, and couples wishing to adopt will find there isn't a rock that Families and Adoption leaves unturned. It presents you with vital information on the following topics: the developmental stages of reunion between an adoptive child and birth parent, notions of adoption, parenthood, and kinship and how these notions are challenged after a reunion has taken place, the institution of adoption as it has existed for decades in American society, international adoption, respecting the bonds children have and helping them develop critical attachment skills, those who “accept” open-adoption and those who “embrace” it, flexible parenting styles and their positive effect on developmentally vulnerable adoptees. A skillful blend of personal adoption experiences and research studies, Families and Adoption explores the special issues adoption presents and how all parties involved can work together to improve placement decisions, ensure that a woman is confident in her decision to relinquish her child, and help families select the most appropriate adoption arrangement. The book's main strength is that it doesn't just look at the initial considerations of adoption; it prepares you for the issues that will arise along the way.
Families and Child Health
by Alan Booth Nancy S Landale Susan M MchaleIn recent years, there has been an explosion of research on the early origins of adult health. A growing body of evidence documents that maternal health before conception, prenatal and perinatal exposures, and conditions in childhood play critical roles in health over the life course. Scientific understanding of the multiple and interacting influences on child health and their role in later health continues to evolve rapidly, but greater attention to how families shape the conditions of early life that underlie childhood health is needed. This volume aims to advance understanding of this topic, with attention to mechanisms through which health disparities emerge and are sustained across the lifespan.
Families and Family Policies in Europe
by Linda Hantrias Marie-Therese LetabilerThe family is currently a controversial topic both within the UK and Europe. While demographic trends seem to suggest that family structures and attitudes within the European Union are converging and that member states are facing similar social problems, their policy responses are very different. This book examines the differences between these national responses and that of the EU as contained in the social chapter. It analyses the key concepts underlying the formulation of family policy and illustrates it with the latest data much of it hitherto unpublished.
Families and Family Therapy: Journeys Of Growth And Transformation (Social Science Paperbacks Ser.)
by Salvador MinuchinThis special edition of the classic text includes a new introduction from Professor Arlene Vetere exploring its continuing influence on contemporary practice. One of family therapy’s foundational texts, Families and Family Therapy is as relevant today as it has ever been. Examining the therapist’s role, Dr. Minuchin presents the views and strategies of a master clinician in a clear and practical form. Transcripts of actual family sessions—both with families meeting their problems fairly successfully and those seeking help—are accompanied by a running interpretation of what is taking place. The book constructs a model of an effectively functioning family and defining the boundaries around its different subsystems, whether parental, spouse, or sibling. It then explores the ways in which families adapt to stress from within and without, as they seek to survive and grow. Combining vivid clinical examples, specific details of technique, and mature perspectives on both effectively functioning families and those seeking therapy, this is an important text for all those interesting in the theory and practice of family therapy. This book can be used on courses such as Family Therapy, Family Interventions, Systemic Practice, and Systemic Counselling within departments of Psychology, Mental Health, and Counselling; and by undergraduate students on Social Work qualifying courses.
