`Provide[s] a good overview of current family theory and research.... well written and worth having - British Journal of Medical Psychology `Altogether an excellent collection for students of social policy, social care or social work, covering as it does both subjective and objective features of family life and the logics of inequality within which they are embedded - Child and Family Social Work This revised and updated introductory text presents an accessible, interdisciplinary account of how the family is constituted in the public and private spheres. Drawing in a wide range of theoretical perspectives from sociology, social policy, psychology and psychoanalysis, this book critically examines assumptions about the family that are embedded in social policy, law and political discourse. The text outlines the tensions that exist between such assumptions and the lived realities and everyday experiences of family life.
